Can Rachel Maddow get any better? She keeps topping herself show after show

[eleny]

Tonight she parsed out Rudy Giuliani's comments regarding no terrorist attacks during Bush's administration. She went through terrorist attacks we know about and how Rudy could not have meant each and every one that happened during W's time in office.

She concluded with how this Rudy event has probably ended his political career. It was a segment to remember - no, make that savor. Catch the repeat or look for the video. You don't want to miss it. I could almost hear a distant death knell for Rudy's political aspirations.

1. She is one of the best we have seen in decades...

She is bright, articulate, pleasant and one of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[eleny]

And she's so young - Many great years ahead - I look forward to books!

[BrklynLiberal]

15. YES!!! I didn't think of that!!!

[lsewpershad]

29. That's right.

2. I've heard the Palin/O'Biden story on Shuster, Tweety, Olbermann (O'donnell) and

now Rachel is going to cover it. But somehow, she makes it seem fresh. :shrug: She's just so damn good. My favorite of them all.

Edit - typo'd my smilie.

9. Oh, you geek! Admitting that you watch *all* the shows

I kid! :rofl:

[gateley]

12. Unfortunately, all day, every day, usually. I did watch a documentary on the

Dust Bowl today, though. But I kept flipping back to MSNBC and ended up recording the rest of it when O'Donnell came on. :7

A real geek would be watching C-Span all day.

3. There is no one else on TV right now who can

touch her for clarity of expression.

[eleny]

4. Amen to that, Anna!

[gateley]

6. +1 (Well put!)

[rwheeler31]

5. I hope it hurts his business. Who could trust this idiot on

security matters?

[Cleita]

7. It was great wasn't it?

I just wish she had more exposure than MSNBC, which in some markets is a premium channel. I'll bet if NBC put her in that 10:00 PM slot that they are dumping Jay Leno on, not only would the lead-in to the local news be fabulous, but she could change the world.

[eleny]

8. Can you imagine if that happened?!

I think about her exposure just about every evening. She does this great segment and I wonder who is watching.

One thing I believe is that Rudy or his allies will see this one tonight and they'll be wincing. I think she did this to try and get him to visit with her on the show. He might as well get it over with. Just about everyone else has broken down and done it, even that old fart from The Family.

[Cleita]

10. I'm thinking she has to be a little bit Oprah, like entertaining to keep

the short attention crowd watching, you know do her bar tending schtick..fun and other fun things that she used to do on her radio show. But she could really get this serious political stuff going in between and it's so educational for the dumb, dumbs. WINNA!

11. She was awesome on Letterman last nite.

I just LOVE her - and you can tell she is gaining steam because the repugs hate her.

She's brilliant, witty, adorable and has such a pleasing voice.

[Clio the Leo]

14. BEYOND awesome.....

.... watching her AND Letterman having a an adult .... but humorous .... discussion about politics is enough to wipe away about 500 Beck clips from your mind.

[jillan]

16. Too funny at the end when they changed glasses. You can tell that Letterman is also a fan.

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Yes. He is definitely in awe of her.

[Clio the Leo]

13. If she were a man and/or straight......

..... she'd be the new anchor of ABC News ...... well, no, she's too liberal .... but still.

She's one of the best in the business. I wish more big names would go on her show but I can understand why the opposition (Liberman included) doesn't.

[BrklynLiberal]

18. she would slice and dice them without even blinking....

and she would be so nice about it, they would not even realize that they had become a pile of ashes.

[Lilyeye]

30. Agreed. She is so good that even Elizabeth from The View praised her when she was a guest..

19. Rachel Maddow is truly a gem.

I've been following Rachel since I first heard her on Air America a few years ago. A great mind with progressive values and a razor sharp wit. All the success she is having is very well deserved, and I'm looking forward to many more years of great things from her!

Go Rachel!

:loveya:

[CTyankee]

26. Funny, I didn't think she was as effective on radio, I don't know why.

I actually didn't like her show that much. It wasn't as punch in the gut as her TV show is. Plus, I think she was really made for the camera. And she has great guests...always a pleasure...

[bigwillq]

20. Rachel is one of the best out there.

I like her lots! :)

[Clio the Leo]

21. She thinks Steele wants to run for President!!!!!

Oh MY what a gift that would be!!!! ..... He'd be 10 times more fun than that Palin woman!!! ....... it would be worth it to watch the President stand next to him during a debate with a puzzled look on his face as if to say "who IS this idiot and WHERE did he come from and WHY am I wasting my time?" ..... lol, he'd probably end the debate after 15 mins saying, "um ... yeah .... this has been fun but I have some work to do."

[eleny]

22. Lol. Yeah, at the end of the debate he'd announce his intention to run for governor of Maryland

:rofl:

[jgraz]

23. Don't forget there's also free podcasts: audio and video versions.

Both Rachel and KO have them.

[soleft]

24. I have a daily Rachel podcast ritual

I have a two hour train commute in the morning and at night. Each night I down load 4 Rachel podcasts.

Three shows that are a year old from Green 960, I fall asleep to the first one, dream to the second one, and wake up to the third one.

Then, on the way home, I listen to the MSNBC show from the night before.

[Phx_Dem]

25. Lawrence O'Donnell absolutely killed on the Giuliani terrorist comment.

Best response I have heard bar none.

[Politicub]

27. I've posted it before and I'll proudly post it again:

Rachel Maddow for President!!

:bounce:

[AzDar]

28. She. Is. Awesome.

:thumbsup:
