Finally the long national nightmare is over: Rita Cosby is without a job. MSNBC has wisely chosen not to renew her contract after having already canceled her awful show some time ago and replacing it with documentaries about jails (no, seriously). I have never liked Rita; I'm sure she's a very nice person, etc. but she's awful on TV and the shit she covered on her show was truly without value. I have no idea what the people at MSNBC were thinking when they hired her and I'm glad that Dan Abrams (or whomever makes these decisions) has righted the wrong and given her the boot.

I'll tell you though, it was amusing to watch Keith Olbermann have to go through that little thing where the one host chitchats with the other one about whats coming up in the next hour with Rita(Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert obviously do this the best). You could tell that Keith was gritting his teeth as he had to listen to Rita tell viewers how she was about to uncover the latest in the Michael Jackson trial or Natalie Holloway. Adios Ms. Cosby, you shan't be missed in the slightest.
