Bhutto killed in blast at Pakistan rally: report

Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto was reported killed Thursday in an explosion at a rally in the city of Rawalpindi that killed at least 20 others, according to media reports.

An unnamed party aide told wire services that Bhutto had died in the attack at the city's Liaqat Bagh park.

Bhutto had just finished speaking to the crowd of thousands when the blast occurred, freelance journalist Graham Usher told the CBC from the capital, Islamabad.

Shit shit shit shit.

This is not going to end well for Pakistan I fear.

Rachel Maddow Does a Pilot on MSNBC?

TVNewser posted that a pilot for MSNBC has been taped, with Air America’s Rachel Maddow and MSNBC’s VP Bill Wolff (who frequently appears on Tucker) as hosts.

Please Please Please let this be true.

Rachel Maddow is one of the smartest and most engaging people on the air in America. If they don't try to sit on her too much I think this is a terrific opportunity to show that Liberals can be smart and entertaining at the same time with being named Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart.

I miss watching the CFL some days.
