Author Adrienne Kisner's new book Dear Rachel Maddow was originally supposed to be called Dear Mr. Henshaw. "I was going to fictionalize Rachel Maddow, but in my mind I'm like, 'You know what? No one's ever going to read this. I'll do whatever I want. Who cares?' Then it got out of hand. I’m like, 'Oh well, I just wrote a book to Rachel Maddow. It's out there in the world and it's separate from the reality of her,'" says Kisner. ALSO: MSNBC gives a shout-out to New York Times article on "MSNBC Moms."
