But who would ever think that a piece of that effort would also eventually go viral and show up on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show”? http://hamptonroads.com/2012/03/national-tv-spotlight-keeps-local-dogs-campaign-alive-0 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0400 Jones tweeted Tuesday night that he no longer would be on the Fox singing contest.
