(Arianna asked for suggestions for her upcoming appearance sitting in for Rachel Maddow.)
Arianna, The nation owes you a lot. You and a couple other activist sites helped make this huge possibility for change ... um, possible. The second time I saw Rachel appear on Olbermann, I said, "she's going to have her own show on MSNBC within six months." I was pretty close. So thanks to the two of them also. I'd like to hear the question of Larry Summers raised. If he's appointed to any high position in the Obama administration, I'll see it as the first major betrayal of an Obama promise, because Summers was at the helm when the groundwork for the financial crisis was laid. Also, any mention of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, or reference to the need and opportunity for a "reverse shock" would also be great.
