MSNBC has hired the wonderful Chris Hayes:

The Nation’s Washington editor Christopher L. Hayes will join MSNBC as host of a new weekend morning show, MSNBC announced today. The new program will debut September 17, 2011. Further details about the program will be announced in the coming weeks. Hayes will remain at The Nation as its editor-at-large.

“When I hired Chris some thought it was a gamble, bringing on a 28-year-old to run the DC bureau. I knew then what so many have come to recognize—he was a star: an intellectual omnivore, a person of integrity, independent mind, with an unwavering commitment to journalistic excellence,” said The Nation‘s editor and publisher, Katrina vanden Heuvel.

Love that — He’s an “intellectual omnivore.”  That’s for sure.  He has an amazing brain.

Anyway, let’s hope he doesn’t get sucked into the insider hole, like they tried to do to Cenk Uygur.
