[Ian David]

1. That's their big surprise? I thought it was she would get her own show.

Looks like maybe she will... soon?

[Fenris]

2. w00t!

:bounce:

[libnnc]

3. My Rachel!

Schweeeeetness! :bounce:

[TahitiNut]

16. (Grumble, grumble, grumble.)

Go ahead. Pour salt in the wound. Just because I'm a guy. (sigh) Well ... it sure can't stop ME from liking HER! (sigh)

[roguevalley]

22. damn. is that dawn french? She is the funniest human being on the

earth. Vicar of Dilby anyone? :)

[burythehatchet]

4. how cool is that

[LSK]

5. watching

:hi:

[Terri S]

6. He mentioned something about a surprise involving Rachel yesterday

and now we know what it is!

Awesome!

[DainBramaged]

7. Yea !!

Was napping my wrinkled old ass off and heard her voice and woke up.

SHE DESERVES HER OWN SHOW!!!

[Gold Metal Flake]

8. The "dead to me" crowd issues a group "Hmmph!'.

She is looking very relaxed with Dana Milbank. She's a natural.

[Rick Myers]

9. She's rock solid... Best. Sub. Ever.

I love her!!!

[malaise]

10. She's a winner n/t

[hellbound-liberal]

11. I'm watching Rachel and listening to Lee Rayburn filling in for her

He is one of my true favorites, someone who describes himself as slightly to the left of Che Guevara. I move my headphones depending on which is most interesting at the time. McCain looks really bad on Letterman.:puke:

[TahitiNut]

12. Wow! I continue to be impressed. Now SHE'S someone I'd like to have a beer with.

She really comes off well. Bright, funny, insightful ... and she likes people.

[libnnc]

15. She is absolutely aceing this

and as someone noted in another thread, we're watching a bit of tee-vee history.

The first openly lesbian, liberal anchoring a cable network newscast.

It's a beautiful thing.

[TahitiNut]

17. Yup. It's about damned time.

She's hot. (Bright, funny, insightful.) Just because I'M not HER cuppa-tea doesn't mean I can't be in her fan club.

:grouphug:

[Hieronymus]

13. She's flawless in the role.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. She looks nervous and has tripped a couple times, but she's doing FINE

go Rachel

[Rhiannon12866]

21. On her radio show, she said that she was so nervous about hosting "Countdown"

that she wasn't sleeping. But I think that she really hit her stride and did a great job!:applause:

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. I never saw the Constitution bit that Keith did

in 2006, damn it was good.

[southerncrone]

19. She's BY FAR the BEST replacement host yet!

:thumbsup:
I like her so much. Wish we could get her radio show here. (sigh)

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Can't you listen to her on-line?

She's the one radio show that I try to never miss, since I always learn something. I'm hoping that she'll be the regular sub for Keith, and she really did a great job, but she's very loyal to her radio show, missed half of the Air America cruise, so she'd miss as little of her show as possible...:-)

[southerncrone]

23. No. Only Internet option I have is dial-up. Doesn't work too well.

We never had access to Air America at all; no station here carry it. Sadly, Dems can't afford to buy up all the radio stations across the country.

Good chance I wouldn't be able to listen to her, anyway, depending on when her show airs. If it's during the day, I'm teaching & wouldn't be able to listen. :(

[FightingIrish]

24. She's doing a fantastic job

She has Keith's edginess without pretending to be Keith. The fact that she's brilliant sure doesn't hurt.

[AnnieBW]

25. She'd make me switch!

I'm straight, but Rachel would make ME bat for the other team! You go, girl!
