I still can't get over Rachel last night.

I watched the post-Eastwood coverate online and was thunderstruck.

Kindly Doc Maddow is one of the smartest people that has ever graced the airwaves. She is normally unflappable - not quite Cronkite unflappable, but pretty damned close. When you reduce her to the goggle-eyed sputtering of utter disbelief you have accomplished something remarkable, if not necessarily good.

I don't think she could have been more surprised and dumbfounded if the Repukes had wheeled out the cast of "Freaks" accompanied by a live performance from GWAR.

That was one for the ages.

i think the GOP is likely to top it in four years. Oh, I think they've learned their lesson about elderly celebrities, at least I hope they have post Reagan and Eastwood, but the distinct chill felt during this convention is going to explode into open warfare by 2016.

...was so dumbfounded by what I had just seen (Eastwood) that I was convinced that I was actually having a low blood sugar hallucination."



I don't blame her.
