John Kerry on Air America’s Rachel Maddow Show
January 6th, 2006

John Kerry was on Air America’s Rachel Maddow Show this morning. Among the issues discussed were the current culture of corruption with the Republican party, the recent coal mining accident in West Virginia, Kerry’s position on Foreign Policy and Iraq (which Maddow noted she is a fan of), his upcoming trip to Iraq and the Middle East and of course, the big question his plans for 08, which Kerry said once again he will discuss after the 06 House and Senate races.

You can listen to the interview here (note the interview starts 6 minutes into the show).

1. "Does anyone know who Rachel Maddow is"? I liked Sedition

but she is really good and this was a nice replacement. Not at all like the Springer replacement which sucked.

2. She used to be

On the other morning show they used to have with 2 other co-hosts. Then she got an hour news show at 5:00 or 6:00 am, now she's replaced sedition.

4. Air American reports Rachel Maddow will be on from 7-9AM EST weekdays.

Excellent! And thank you, goddess, for the link. It was an excellent interview with our shadow president, John Kerry, a man of unquestioned integrity, intelligence and decency.

What JK said about the current GOP led Congress and administration serving the special interests and not the public interest could not be more true, and I would like to suggest that the Democratic changed their lame slogan from "AMERICA CAN DO BETTER" to "WE PLEDGE TO SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NOT THE SPECIAL INTERESTS"-- and mean it!

5. It was a great interview

JK made a lot of points in a very short time. I like Rachel Maddow, a lot too.

9. Not to nit pick here...

but could you do us all one TINY little favor please?? could you just the wording in this sentence ~~> John Kerry, a man of unquestioned integrity, intelligence and decency.<~~ to read ~~>John Kerry, a man of UNQUESTIONABLE integrity, intelligence and decency???<~~ the fact is, he HAS had his integrity, intelligence, decency AND service to our country questioned and he has STOOD TALL above the questions because the truth gave the answers, therefore leaving him with unquestionable character.

like I said... just a little nitpick! Thanks!

16. Rachel Maddow's resume

from the AAR website:

Rachel Maddow has a Doctorate in Politics from Oxford University and a degree in Public Policy from Stanford. She was the first openly gay American to win a Rhodes Scholarship. Her background is in commercial radio (WRSI, WRNX) and political activism. Prior to launching "The Rachel Maddow Show," Rachel co-hosted Air America's "Unfiltered" with Chuck D and Lizz Winstead.

8. Heard it on my radio this morning, it was great.

He talked about traveling from Butte, Montana, following more or less the same route of Lewis & Clark.

The way he described it was exactly as I experienced the same thing.

How cool.
