She's talking at length about how good things look for Obama right now. Lots of perky optimism.

Happy now? :hi:

2. I really like her.
I know she says things that we don't want to hear, but I'll tell you, anyone who can give Obama that amazing interview last night is not going to be censored by me.

3. What the hell are people griping about now, re: Rachel?
Please say it's not about the fact we can see her chest flesh.

She's the best thing on TV now next to KO.

17. I freaking love the Rachel Maddow show!! Don't care what other DUers think
at all. I love her show, I love the segments; it's all terrific.

I find her personality and intellect amazing, and I am so impressed with how thoughtful and respectful she is when she does interviews with certain people I would just find myself thumping on the head saying "neener neener".

She makes me want to be a better progressive.

4. Sorry, long term means more than recency
Any stooge can start cheering when the home team is kneeling on the ball in the final 30 seconds

5. She's not cheering. That's not her job.
She's reporting and providing analysis on the polls.

She's not a stooge, either.

I guess there's going to be a turd in the punchbowl every time, but I swear I do NOT understand all of you getting pissy over Rachel's coverage. Jesus fucking christ.

12. I'm with you.
It's almost a litmus test for me now here. Anyone who gripes about Maddow is sure to piss me off about other things as well.

Jesus fucking christ, indeed. She's not a parrot, she's not a shill, she's not a pundit, she's not a cheerleader, she's a journalist. And a damn good one.

13. If people want a liberal Hannity they should just convert to the right
Our side is supposed to be about critical free thought.

16. "I'm Rachel Maddow, and I'm here to blow sunshine and rainbows up your ass!"
Not gonna happen, and thank goodness for that.
