The Next thing you know they'll be hiring a FoxNews guy at the White House

...oh, wait...

Dan Abrams has been named as the "General Manager" of MSNBC -- which I believe is the same position that Lou Grant had on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

I would like to inform all of you that Mr. Abrams HATES SPUNK.

That should mean that Imus's days are numbered (for the love of God shouldn't they be -- literally?). Certainly, the beginning of the Imus show will be changed -- you know that part where he tosses his 'oxygen bottle' up in the air.

Now, making a television personality into an executive is certainly a bit of a surprise. If I was MSNBC and I was going to hire a personality to be management, I'd have hired that Cesar Milan guy off of "The Dog Whisperer". Think of how he could have settled down Tucker Carlson (you'd have thought neutering would have done that), let alone Rita Cosby (constant ass sniffing and scooting). If not Milan, then that Morimoto guy from "Iron Chef", simply because that would be cool and he's good with a knife (like Scarborough).

I'd like Dan to know that there is a sale on bulk drool cups at CostCo, he'll need 'em for Chris Matthews -- along with the adult diapers with a special splooge reservoir for when Tweety discusses his love of Bush's "manliness".

UPDATE: Jeralyn Merrit says it is a good choice. Which I will ignore because it is less susceptible to lame comedy pieces.
