TODAY'S SHOW: FRIDAY, MAY 16TH, 2008

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel

David Bender is filling in for Rachel today. He'll be talking to Andy Borowitz, California State Senator Sheila Kuehl , and Mark Green

Johnson was indeed impeached, not nearly impeached

Rachel is the greatest thing on TV but she's got to watch out for the blurbs they hand her when she subs for Olbermann on Countdown. Not only did Rachel name the wrong president (which she acknowledged 15 minutes later), but the Senate did not "come close" to impeaching Andrew Johnson. I'd think a PHD in political science like Rachel would catch this herself (I mean, Jackson....in 1868??) The Congress (lower house) DID impeach him. that's what their role is. The Senate then tries the case, and in this case, like with Clinton, they declined to throw him out. But RM is still the best commentator on TV. As long as she's speaking for herself.
