Maddow is having her Khrushchev moment

 

You don't spit into the wind

You don't tug the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger

and you NEVER try to publicly embarrass your boss.  (Apologies to Jim Croce)

Maddow's bosses will see this as a challenge that they cannot afford to lose.

My expectation is that she will be severed from MSNBC within the week due to a "public embarrassment" clause buried on page 47 of her contract.

The Khrushchev joke goes:

One day, a man ran through Red Square in Moscow, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Khrushchev is a fool!" 

He was subsequently arrested for revealing state secrets.
