besides Rachel Maddow (and yes, I love Rachel). I've been thinking about this for some time now. I watch Countdown every night and Rachel is the only woman that is on regularly. I do not offer any analysis of what may or may not be root cause of this situation, but seriously, Keith, what is up with that? I am reminded that there is that American Idol woman, Princess Maria or something, but she is only on at the end of the show and I am not always inclined to watch the end of the show.
So, to those of you who are too depressed to read another diary on FISA and telecom immunity and the Democrat's capitulations, read on below for my proposal to Mr. Olbermann (and add your own)
How about Dahlia Lithwick as a regular addition? She is a senior editor for Slate. I used to listen to her on Al Franken's show on AAR and I really miss hearing her take - her focus seems to be primarily the courts. Great analysis, great voice and she's funny. Here is a link to her recent piece on the Supreme Court:

Now, I've got nothing against the manly men that make up Keith's posse, but I think it would be really good if he mixed it up a bit. For instance, anyone see Lara Logan on The Daily Show? She is representin. And I absolutely adore Donna Brazile, but CNN seems to have gotten there first. I know there are many other women out there who would be great as well, and I hope others will be suggested in any comments.
So, that's my proposal Mr. Olbermann. After all, Rachel may actually get her own show one of these days and then all you'll have will be the American Idol princess and that would be embarrassing.
**** Update: I thought a list might help my point:
Howard Fineman, Dana Milbank, Richard Wolffe, Eugene Robinson, John Dean, Jonathan Alter, David Shuster, Craig Crawford, Jonathan Turley, John Harwood, Chris Cillizza
