* Rachel Maddow * deserves her own DU group! Who agrees with me?
The girl is hot and getting hotter. She works hard, is always prepared, always professional. I'm thinking she deserves her own group here at DU, much like the Keith Olbermann group:

The DU Countdown/Keith Olbermann Group

She's a rising star! What do you all think?

6. Yes! She represents us well.
I'm so glad she's getting more time on MSNBC.

She's brilliant, and my current favorite Air America host...
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 05:58 PM by Juniperx
She manages to get the facts out there without sounding like she's swilling the Kool Aid, like Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes... I quite honestly CANNOT listen to either of them at all anymore... the whining, the sighing, you can almost hear the spit flying out of their mouths when they get upset... bad radio... bad, bad radio.

Rachel has brains where the others have hot air space.

3. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!
I can't through the day without my Rachel. She is intelligent and yet down to earth at the same time. I have learned so much listening to her. (And I love that photo!)

I think this is a GREAT idea!!! :bounce:

7. I think she deserves her own show.
Where she can invite wingnut pundits on and cut off their mikes when they try to make a point and shout over them when they do get to talk.

Nah she's far too classy to do that although I did see her give a pretty good ass whuppin to ass eyes intern killer Joe on the you tubes earlier today. He kept trying to cut in and she just would not allow him to.

To me she alone is worth the price of a dish.

9. Yes, she did do a number on Joe Scrobro yesterday! Link:
Here's a link if anyone wants to watch!

Maddow Schools Joe "The Interrupter" Scarborough (EXTENDED)

You're right, she should have her own show. Changing subject here- are those cats in your signature? So cute!

11. Yep they're cats - but not ours
we have 5 house cats and about a dozen or so barn cats. Our house cats are too lazy to pose like that and the barn cats are too busy catching things like mice snakes and lizards.

17. what all would we say in a group? why not talk her up in here
there is no limit to the numer of threads that we can post daily, so why send all Rachel talk off to some forum where most people will never read it

30. She is a soulless hypocrite
I do not understand the fascination. She is the most passive aggressive radio hack around. Rachel claims to be neutral, what a laugh. Rachel is a gay woman and two nights ago she labeled a campaign song for Hillary Clinton "creepy" because a woman was singing to a woman. Is this thought homophobic self loathing or just her passive aggressive hackery.

31. so don't listen to her.
I obviously disagree, but If I held your opinion of her, I wouldn't bother listening or watching her.

38. Rachel did a terrific job subbing for Keith. I would love for her to
have her own show o MSNBC! Stupid shit bow tie guy had one for a long time and failed. I sent a note to MSNBC regarding how much I like her. I hope you do too.
