I confess: I like Rachel Maddow far more than Keith Olbermann
I realize that this is a major sin, and I must now retreat to my local Kaballah place of worship and say three hail Madonnas, while clutching multi colored, plastic Mardi Gras beads.

1. She should have her own show...
If we had both of them hammering away at O'Leilly and the Rethuglicans....man that would be sweet.

12. Please!!!
Let her replace Dan. Keith at 8:00 followed by Rachel at 9:00 would be my idea of Prime Time.

3. Burn some sage and put salt in your shoes too!
That's what I did... I like her best of all. Over Randi, Stephanie, Keith, Thom, Sam... She's so brainy!

14. I got tired of the whining...
Not what she said... but the literal whining and heavy sighing... I was depressed by the time I got to work! Even on the days I agreed with her!

25. Does she still remind her audience who her father was, at every opportunity?

28. Oh, sure... she's teamed up with Goldwater's grandaughter...
And they have a fake Goldwater / Miller campaign going.

I actually like the talk about her father and what life was like for her back then.

13. Even when she's boring, you can stare at those two freckles on her neck
Advantage, Maddow.

18. I prefer how Rachel approaches things but I do miss
Keith...Rachel is an intellectual, which I like so she is more likely to be able to recall and analyze facts at a moment's notice. She is also a self confessed news junkie who reads voraciously.

I wish she would get her own show that she could program. When she's on Keith's show it seems like she is forced to do the celebrity thing and that takes away from more in depth political discussion.

27. Rachel and Keith are both good and have their own style.
Rachel is a very good replacement though. I have enjoyed having her on as a replacement.

30. What I like better about her is how she can calmly discuss things while
Keith gets all emotional. He needs to work on voice control and keeping a poker face while he is doing his stories.

I guess I'll join you at the Kaballah ;)
