When I heard that Molly Ivins occasionally joined Ann Richards and Barbara Jordan around the pool for margaritas in Austin, my fervent wish was to be a fly on the umbrella stand of that patio.

Now that would be epic conversation.

And nearly every one else on MSNBC. I love that Rachel reacts to sex scandals like an old church lady. It really makes her uncomfortable to have to report them because she has a strong sense of ethics and principals. Ironically the person most disgusted by sexual misconduct in society on television is a lesbian. Rachel's best qualities (beside her big, fat I.Q.) are her empathy and integrity. Traits you don't see from F(ake)ox news and the other RW media.
