McCain Adviser Joining MSNBC?

By Paddy

Jeebus, just what MSNBC needs, another frothing Republican.

In a New York Times story today about what John McCain adviser Mike Murphy is not going to be doing (officially joining the McCain staff), it reveals what he will be doing — joining MSNBC.

The Times' Adam Nagourney reports, "Murphy, Mr. McCain's strategist in the 2000 presidential race, is going to take a position as a commentator on MSNBC."

The McCain camp declined to comment, but an MSNBC insider tells TVNewser a deal is likely be signed, "very soon."
