Rachel Maddow is Tough, Inelligent, Informed, Fair and Compassionate

[AnArmyVeteran]

She truly is as Michael Moore said, a National Treasure. Her ability to recall facts and to get to the truth always astounds me. She always goes to the extreme to be fair and allow others to talk. And if she ever makes a mistake she always quickly offers an apology and admits the error. But she is seldom wrong. Contrast her style to the yelling matches on every program on Fox News.

I believe if every member of the White House Press Corp had the integrity, tenacity, awareness and appetite for the truth as Rachel obviously has, the US would not have gone to war against Iraq. They would have asked the right questions and they would not have backed down when they were told blatant lies by GW Bush.

I know it might be a stretch, but I almost believe if you combined the entire journalistic abilities of the entire WHPC you still couldn't match the talents of Rachel Maddow. Okay, I'm biased, but she is one awesome human being and an excellent journalist.

[LiberalLoner]

2. I adore her too n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Very well said... I could not agree more.

:thumbsup: :hi:

[JuniperLea]

4. I've no doubt she could go toe to toe with the best of them...

And do us proud. She can be a scaredy cat on occasion, but I'll take that over being over-confident any day.

Cheers for Rachel! Even my former-Republican father loves her! I think she may be part of the reason he jumped ship and voted for Obama, and is now a devout Democrat for the first time in his life.

5. Hear! Hear!

You said it.

7. MSNBC is very lucky...nt

[RandomThoughts]

8. She is real joyful in her broadcast.

You can tell she enjoys her work, that is always a good thing also, and something worth mentioning. She does seem to dig a bit more then some shows also.

9. Rachel Maddow sets a superb journalistic example.

She`s principled,tough and brilliant.

10. Clearly the best - more meat less hyperbole. classy

[paulsby]

11. i've been a fan from the beginning, when i first saw her on tucker

she is a class act.

i have frequently commented that i think olbermann is a complete clown and thought the keith-worship(tm) here was ridiculous.

dr madddow otoh, deserves every accolade

[Electric Monk]

12. Inelligent?

:shrug:

18. Hey! I sat on my glasses and am using a 5 yo pair. I can barely see! Give me a break!

I'm in the process of getting new frames and a new prescription. Please, please, PLEASE forgive me my typo (and future typos) until I can see!

13. I HATE RACHEL MADDOW

Psych! I love her. Her show is both serious and fun. Last night's takedown of Dan Stein was masterful. After his sorry performance, FAIR's board probably wishes they could send him to BOAT JAIL.

I just wish Rachel would drop that dumb Senate campaign and stay at MSNBC. :)

[AnArmyVeteran]

19. I LOVE RACHEL, But You're right, she'll beat Scott Brown and be the next senator :)

[Frustratedlady]

14. I admire Maddow but wonder how long it will take for the MSM/Pugs to take her down?

Just in the last couple weeks, I've seen the Pugs taking her down and trying to destroy her. Is she getting to hot for them? Too close to the truth? I'm sure she makes them nervous.

[MadMaddie]

22. They are scare and they can't intimidate her

They will become more desperate. The more they push her the stronger she becomes.

[art of compromise]

15. She is a joy to watch.

[AllenVanAllen]

16. She's great.

I've been a fan since her days with Chuck D and Lizz Winstead on Air America. She's doing an excellent job uncovering news no one wants to touch and she's well on the way to becoming a journalistic force to be reckoned with.

[GreenTea]

17. I record Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow each night - I always watch Rachel first

after all has been recorded and I start watching the recorded stuff after I've watched the Daily Show to it's conclusion at 8:30 (Pacific Time) or after Bill Maher's HBO Real Time on Friday nights.

I love Rachel Maddow's preparedness, always ready & fully prepared, she obviously loves what she is doing, she is very sharp and quite clever, must also have a great staff as well.

Rachel's passion for progressive issues clearly comes through loud & clear on television.

I love how Rachel's anger shows when she is interviewing an arrogant & complete liar who is dancing around the subject or issue with semantics or never actually answering the questions or constancy changing the subject (as last night, the guy from FAIR) these assholes clearly drive Rachel crazy & angry....I love it because it does show on her face and her demeanor...even though she tries so very hard not to show it....She probably feels and believes it's not professional to show ones emotions as a television "hostess", especially anger, also and understandably Rachel probably does not to give the satisfaction of her anger to some asshole interviewee as the aforementioned. However, I do love seeing Rachel's passion expressed, since I too am an extremely passionate liberal.

Cheers to Dr. Maddow!

[Bluenorthwest]

20. And yet Obama and Kaine believe she is not worthy of equal

rights. They see Michelle Bachmann as better in the eyes of their invisible pal than Rachel. Some faith that is.

[tavalon]

21. If Helen weren't there, you'd have it in the bag

Once Helen leaves the room, you could easily be right. Dr. Maddow is one smart person. Scary smart. Presidential smart. Now wouldn't that be something?

[madokie]

23. She is all that and then some

[AnnieBW]

24. I have a total girl-crush on Rachel

I'm straight (but not narrow!), but I'd definitely switch-hit for her!

[AnArmyVeteran]

26. I'm a guy, but if I was a chick, I would switch for her too :)

Rachel is a living doll, with a great sense of humor, extremely intelligent, has impeccable integrity, is fair, believes in justice, has compassion and she is just plain hot. I think she would be one of the 'funnest' people in the world to hang with. So when are they going to auction off a date with Rachel on Ebay? Or even a lunch?

25. there are those who disagree
