   Telling women to stay silent is working so well for the GOP that Scott Brown is trying it on Kennedy’s widow: http://goo.gl/DVOI4

   [snippet]

   Incumbent Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (R) has tentatively agreed to debate his challenger, Harvard professor and former nominee to head the Consumer Protection Bureau, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, but only if certain conditions are met, according to the Boston Globe‘s Boston.com blog. Arguably, the most notable of these terms is that Vicki Kennedy, widow of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy (D) refrain from endorsing any candidate in the race. The other condition is that no cameras from MSNBC be allowed to film at the venue.

   Brown has been notably hard to pin down on the topic of when, where and on what topics he and Warren will debate. Her team has reportedly attempted on multiple occasions to get Sen. Brown’s reps to sit down and discuss the terms of a match-up, but have repeatedly been rebuffed.
   

   Now, the Brown campaign has announced in a press release that it will participate in a debate at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, but only on the condition that Vicki Kennedy not endorse himself or his opponent and as long as MSNBC is not included as a broadcast partner for the event. The press release requested that former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw act as the debate’s moderator.

   [I'd tell him to go to hell. Either Debate or we'll run ads that you are afraid to debate!!]

       I always liked when Joy Behar would guest host on AAR. Guaranteed “swear” word every time.

   New At C&L: Can MSNBC Really ‘Lean Forward’ With S.E. Cupp as Host? http://gocl.me/MsHHJh

   [snippet]

   I can’t imagine why MSNBC thinks this is a good choice to replace Bashir, although to date, all other names thrown out (Steve Kornacki, Touré, Crystal Ball) are far less objectionable. But it’s yet another slap in the face to the progressive brand that they’ve built and fostered in their campaigns using their prime time line up of Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Ed Schultz. There are so many fantastic voices out there–Sam Seder, Mike Papatonio, Ezra Klein, etc.–that deserve a chance to reach a larger audience, but MSNBC opts for the quixotic programming of someone who lacks anything meaningful to contribute.
