Rachel Maddow's on right now MSNBC

[Gregorian]

It's her weekend special thingie. Yay.

[Thrill]

1. I'm sure she'll tell us how great McCain's campaign is. And he's surging. YAWN

[WeDidIt]

2. Too bad, I can't miss True Blood

I want to do bad things with you.

[jonnyblitz]

8. god hates fangs!! nt

[Sidney J Mussburger]

43. he's not to fond of fangbangers either

[K Gardner]

10. Sooookieee......:-)

[Doityourself]

17. OMG! I'M ADDICTED TO TRUE BLOOD...

[Window]

38. Oh crap. I forgot about "True Blood." Will catch it on On Demand later.

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. I'm worried that the Cheney endorsement will change this election

Somebody talk me down!!!!

[jillan]

4. Yay! I have it on now.

[scheming daemons]

5. She's going to tell us all the reasons Obama is going to lose....

*sigh*

[Cha]

7. Really?

WOW!

[scheming daemons]

9. She does it every night.... she means well, but she's the ultimate concern troll

[DainBramaged]

51. I know quite a few DU members who are ultimate concern trolls

mirror mirror on the wall, who's the biggest concern troll of all?

[Window]

40. Actually, Rachel has a great show tonight.

[GarbagemanLB]

6. Yay! Nothing like Rachel to dampen a festive election outlook!

I'm tuning her out until after Tuesday.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. I may tune her out permanently. I gave her a shot because KO seems

to think she's a really bright progressive star, but I haven't seen it. The "talk me down" segment was just way over the top for me.

[Cha]

13. I can't even look at negative

threads at this juncture..what's the point?

[DainBramaged]

52. They have no hope of McLame winning, soooooooooooo

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. That was a nice clip on Bill Clinton in 92 telling how Bush was

looking into his passport and his Mama's passport right before the election

[high density]

14. great, mapping out "How McCain can win it!"

:crazy:

[K Gardner]

15. I turned it on for two seconds and heard: "Say hello to President McCain." Ta-ta, Rachel.. cya later

[RayOfHope]

18. Context: she was explaining possible scenarios, not saying mcpain was going to win

[Doctor_J]

23. She talks like she's on Fox "News"

that's exactly the way I would expect them to talk. She's lost me.

[DainBramaged]

16. So many negative ninnies in this thread, I wonder, hmmmmmmm

and all together at the same time, hmmmmmmmmmmm

[myrna minx]

21. Pretty soon all of the gd:p will be filled with anti-Maddow threads.

You can set your watch to it.

[TheDonkey]

19. I guess I shouldn't be surprised she's spending more time spreading gloom and mapping out

ways that McTroll is going to win. ?????

[Chichiri]

20. This is brilliant. Guys, Rachel is PLAYACTING.

She's pretending to be a concern troll.

She's fighting complacency. She knows that her audience is mostly progressive, and she's getting the vote out and getting the volunteers out. Obama said a week or two before that, right up to Election Day, he wants people RUNNING SCARED, and she's taking that to heart.

It's not what we WANT to see, I suppose. But it's a brilliant move.

[sammytko]

25. Yes, she is keeping everyone on their toes - don't let up! nt

[Gregorian]

27. I like to know all facets of a problem.

Not just how Obama can win, but how McCain can win. Then and only then can I really be informed. I think Rachel isn't syrupy enough for some people. But like I said before, if the engineers who designed the Tacoma Narrows bridge had just been a little more skeptical of their own ideas, and a little more thoughtful about what could go wrong, they might have avoided a very costly mistake.

I guess I'm weird. I think she's fantastic. But I come from an engineering family. :)

[billyoc]

48. Yeah, brilliant. In a week, she's gotten everyone I know to hate her.

NOBODY could have expected THAT brilliant strategy. :eyes:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Her makeup is thicker tonight. She looks different.

More eyeshadow, more lipstick.


Whatever.


She's trying to be impartial.

[TheDonkey]

26. She just looked more pissed off?

At the end of her segment she was glaring into the camera. I do agree her makeup is much heavier and "depressed" I just don't get it.

[DainBramaged]

50. Really, thicker, is that important or just petty?

:eyes:

[CitizenPatriot]

24. I get where you all are coming from

but I dig her and I think she's doing a service to counter complacency, so I am watching!!!

You know she is a huge Obama advocate; she's doing exactly what he would ask her to do if he were like that.

She's working that youth vote...GO Rachel-- kick them out of their dorm rooms and to the polls! :-)

[Gregorian]

28. And she's covering ALL of the bases.

Not just the happy scenarios.

[TheDonkey]

29. I like how she is attacking these fucking ridiculous lines we are hearing about

a Poll tax. It is unAmerican.

[jillan]

30. Great segment on the poll tax.

About the lines being longer in poorer and minority sections of Fla than in the more affluent neighborhoods.

Good for her!!

and it's reporting like this that makes me put up with her negativity on the polls.

[tilsammans]

31. Go, Rachel, go!

Excellent rant about long lines at polling places.

:yourock:

[bdamomma]

32. our country needs you.

yes indeed, Rachel.

[CitizenPatriot]

35. yeah, that was excellent

she's kicking people's asses to the polls and reminding them why they NEED to put up with the bs.

[Lumpsum]

33. Sometimes I wish she wasn't a lesbian

She'd be sexy with a not-so-deep voice and longer hair.

[Two Sheds]

46. She's perfectly gorgeous right now. Brains are sexy.

Her partner is a lucky woman.

[DainBramaged]

53. Really, any other plums you'd like to share with us?

There are PLENTY of other women for you to hit on, plenty, take this one for example:

[TheDonkey]

34. great segment on poll taxes. Then she goes back to talking about how Obama is going to lose

UGH.

[SeattleGirl]

44. Come on, she's not saying Obama WILL lose; she's just talking

about scenarios in which McCain could win. And it's something that must be considered. Obama has; that's why he is warning everyone against complacency.

[TheDonkey]

45. I understand, but in a sea of corporate sheep why do we need a Devil's Advocate?

[Every Man A King]

36. Oh Noes!!! Obama is spread too thin n/t

[Gregorian]

37. But in Montana Ron Paul is bigger than McCain!

This is great! He could win Montana.

The gov thinks he's got it.

[bluedawg12]

39. Montana Gov. sounding positive.

His dog is a Dem too!

[TheDonkey]

41. Maddow is doing a look back. Some funny stuff. Mostly bashing Obama, not laying a finger on HC

supposedly about all the candidates missteps and twists in 2 years but Clinton was ominously missing from any embarrassing segment. She made sure to include several negative Obama and Biden clips among the other candidates from the rethug and democratic side. Maddow showing her true colors.

[MadBadger]

42. Showing her true colors?

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

[writes3000]

54. Thank you. I'm amazed at how off these folks are about Maddow. Really disturbing.

And frankly, disappointing.

[bluedawg12]

47. The mchemorrhoid sound bites were funny

she pulled his best bloopers out for a final good bye.

[Gregorian]

49. What a great reprise before it all passes into history.

I needed that.

Here we go!
