Rachel Maddow - you are simply the best
Great segment on really really big government - the ReTHUG take over of towns and bargaining rights and...

The privatization of local government. Mayor Virg Bernero from Lansing is on = he is great.

You go girl! :yourock:

2. I was just going to start a thread with As Always, Rachel's Rockin' It!
She just asked the most brilliant question (which is what sent me lunging for my keyboard): Is this what he said he would do during the 2010 campaign?

:headbang:

6. I want her to run as my Senator....But I guess we need her in the media
Proud to say she lives nearby here. I would love to see her do a run to unseat Scotty Brown, and she might actually have a chance.

But she's probably doing what she should where she is...I just wish her megaphone was bigger.

7. The best journalist around IMO
If she doesn't hold that title she is definitely up there.

I love that at least someone is speaking about this stuff. Most of the media drones barely investigate what is going on anymore.

Definitely scary things are happening with the privatization movement.

8. I got so pissed at Randi Rhodes today. She kept saying there is no news on cable. I kept screaming
at the radio "Rachel Maddow"...

Either Randi doesn't listen or she is jealous.

9. Randi had a HUGE ego when I listened to her...
I guess Floridians who listen to AM have a choice...

Maddow is the best and Rhodes never got a shot on Keither Olberman when she thought she could have been a contender...

I coulda been a contenDAH! :-O

21. She comes on after Thom here in Phoenix. With my schedule, I usually catch part of Thom and most of
Randi. I still like her altho she drives me crazy half the time :P

But she's no Thom Hartmann, that's for certain.

15. I'd prefer to see her controlling a cable channel
We might have some real liberal news and programming if that happened.

19. We had to turn that off after ten minutes and go for a long walk with the dog.
What a fucked up nation of idiots this is.

22. Actually had me thinking how leaving the country might be in my future.
Seemed just a wee bit more realistic as an option. Our nation is going to hell. republi-CON greedy, selfish, pennywise/pound-foolish, thoughtless, shortsighted, stingey, hurtful, IGMFU, rig-the-game Hell.

23. Rachel is truly a treasure.
No one is covering what she covers. The show tonight left me speechless. A governor can

declare your town bankrupt, put in someone who will dismantle the town and turn it over to

the highest bidder. Who are the people who voted for these governors? Do they hate Obama

that much that they will see this country turned into Russia?

29. Rachel is awesome.
Just about the only one in the media I can trust.. she reports facts, with no spin involved like the idiots at Faux.
