[bdamomma]

3. kick

:kick:

[ronnykmarshall]

4. Love her!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. I need to study up on what Keith said about the french terms

that was interesting.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Bon Mot vs. Mot Juste

Frenchiecat gave me the words.


OBAMA does this
mot juste (plural mot justes or mots justes)

The perfectly appropriate word or phrase for the situation.


Keith does this
bon mot (plural bons mots or bon mots)

Used to refer to a clever saying, phrase or witticism. Often used to describe a witty riposte in dialogue.

[VolcanoJen]

6. She looks STUNNING tonight

GO RACHEL!

[Tatiana]

7. I really like her give and take w/ Keith. It was very insightful.

I'm so happy she has her own show. She's looking mighty GOOD tonight!

[billyoc]

8. Heyayeaaahh!!

:loveya: :woohoo:

[RiverStone]

9. Big kick!

I just hope her audience is diverse enough to influence minds not always of the left.

[krkaufman]

10. Screenshot from new TRMS set ....

[MissDeeds]

22. Love Rachel

She is stellar - But please! Get her a set design that doesn't look like it was made by a third grade art class! Jeez, she is so much better than a Crayola backdrop!

[krkaufman]

28. Yeah, the design doesn't lend gravitas.

But she still rules.

I *LOVE* the program, so far. It's *so* much better than Abrams show, which jumped all over the place, and was all about he said/she said. Rachel's extending Keith's show and is just laying out the stories, and conducting adult conversations with guests. Here's hoping it continues.

[babylonsister]

11. Steve Benen is EXCELLENT! He has never gotten enough credit. This

is da bomb!

He used to run Carpetbagger Report, now Washington Monthly.

Kudos to Rachel, again!

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Great guests so far

doing a bit on republicans new change mantra

[nutshell2002]

13. Is she wearing false eyelashes?

[babylonsister]

15. No, they're all hers. And who cares, besides you? nt

[justiceischeap]

16. Don't know but they need to fire her make-up artist. The whole eye area is just wrong.

Enjoying the show though.

[renate]

26. I wouldn't go quite that far, but I do think she looks best in neutrals/browns

Those big brown eyes and those eyelashes to die for don't need gilding.

[justiceischeap]

27. I'm thinking more around the cheek bones

It almost looks like she went skiing all day and took the goggles off right before the show. ;)

[libnnc]

14. Triple loving my Rachel

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

So proud I can't stand it.

[TooRaLoo]

17. I am LOVING her. nt

[Roxy66]

18. Yeah!!!!!

[cyr330]

19. I love it!

[Errrica]

20. Watching it right now.

Good for her!

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. 'Four and half months this woman could be president' says Rachel

Rachel going over the church tapes again. saying WTF!

[geekgrrl]

23. I LOVE IT congrats Rachel-- we're big fans in my family! nt

[liberalmuse]

24. Thumbs up!

I'm really liking her show so far. Lots of meat (and I'm vegetarian!)

[Guava Jelly]

25. She is rocken the house.

:loveya: Rach!

[KathieG]

29. Love Rachel!!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[HughMoran]

30. She is so amazing at chosing just the right words and she never gets emotional

I have no idea how she does it. She is one of the best wordsmiths I've ever seen on TV.

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. Rhodes Scholar and a doctorate

She is more qualified to be VP than Palin any day

[HughMoran]

39. Amazingly intelligent woman

She may be the best liberal in the country at finding the nugget of truth in every situation. SHe makes P* look like the idiot moran that she is. Rachel for VP!!

[Raine]

31. I LOVE Rachel, she's TERRIFIC!!!

I'm thrilled about her new show! :bounce:

[krkaufman]

34. I may have to quit watching. It's a 24/7 cable news show ...

... and people aren't talking over and yelling at each other. Wholly unacceptable. </facetious>

36. We just got two hours of Obama too

when was the last time you saw that!

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. Tom Tolls cartoon Obama was using as a metaphor

[SeattleGirl]

38. YAY RACHEL!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[krkaufman]

40. Just sent my feedback to MSNBC...

... via the contact info mentioned here.

Subject: The Rachel Maddow Show is an obvious failure

Dear MSNBC,

I'm watching the premier episode of The Rachel Maddow Show, but I don't see myself as able to continue watching it down the road.

It's a 24/7 cable news show and people aren't talking over and yelling at each other, which is allowing the issues being discussed to actually register with my brain. Wholly unacceptable.

But I thank you for keeping Morning Joe going strong; it may be enough to bludgeon my brain back into a stupor.

Regards,
Karl K.

[Ichingcarpenter]

41. Great Idea

She needs all the support we can give her, including
turning your TV on to her program even if you can't watch

[nc4bo]

52. Thanks for the link! nt

[babylonsister]

42. Buchanan on Rachel's first show; she's got some cojones-love it! nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

45. This is great TV.... he can't beat her and his voice is going off

she remains calm

[babylonsister]

50. Same old tired rethug talking points; but now Rachel can cut him off! nt

[dav1goku]

63. Tough way to start the show

PAT B. was a LOT rough....tough way to welcome her to her new show

http://www.zazzle.com/dav1goku - McCain has the Mad Cow

[krkaufman]

64. Yeah, but UGH did he kill the vibe of the show when he came on.

It really showed where the negativity in our politics comes from. All the other guests were able to conduct themselves as adults and have mature conversations, but Buchanan just can't help himself.

[Ichingcarpenter]

65. The title of that portion of the show is called "Here's Pat"

He doesn't even get that SNL joke

[babylonsister]

66. I agree his negativeness was gross, but the differences are evident, AND

Rachel gets to shut him down when she's had enough. She might find he's not worth it. I think he's not. He's a pig.

[krkaufman]

67. "the differences are evident" ... Yes, agreed. That's the one upside I took from his appearance...

... that he was such a contrast to the rest of the guests that he seemed ridiculous, a fanatic even.

Great first show for Rachel. And, wow!, is that NOT what I thought Kent Jones would look like. On a sad note, when seeing Kent I was really hoping to hear, "monkey!"

[babylonsister]

68. Don't feel bad.

I didn't and still don't know why Kent Jones was such a 'get'. He mentioned Spears (scripted) and that awards show, I thought Rachel was going for the British comedian/announcer who encouraged people to vote for Obama.
Maybe that was too partisan.

[krkaufman]

70. Kent's her old AAR partner, so Rachel fans would likely be pleased.

(Though the delivery and back-and-forth was a bit rough.)

[babylonsister]

71. Thanks. I had no idea. Now I know why people were jazzed. nt

[krkaufman]

72. He didn't really shine on tonight's show ...

... and he may now work on TV (though I don't know if he's planned as a regular, anyway). One show isn't determinative, though.

[nc4bo]

43. OMG the whining going on now on the Rachel show is PRICELESS bwahaha. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

44. Yikes she has Pat Buchanan going off on her

Pat looks depressed he has to be on

[TooRaLoo]

49. And what an A-hole performance he just gave.

Rachel was quite gracious to him.

[progressiveforever]

46. Rachel Maddow for Obama Press Secretary

She kicks ass.

[kwenu]

47. Rachel's going to be put out next! LOL!

Give 'em hell while you can Rachel!

[quantass]

73. .

[rndmprsn]

48. she certainly just put pat buchannon in his place =]

[Edgewater_Joe]

KENT JONES IS BACK! KENT JONES IS BACK!!!!

Larry who?

[SeattleGirl]

55. Woohooooooo!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Ichingcarpenter]

56. He was on her radio show too

Good for her to bring him on TV

[RepublicanElephant]

51. pat is an utter freak show.

thanks rachel for once again showing us how nutty the right-wingnut really is!

[ErinBerin84]

53. Pat Buchanan was a dick as usual

acting as if Mitt Romney etc were rising up against the "eastern elite media" to stand up for the 17 year old, as if it's not a tactic, and then launching into the "Rev Wright is racist and anti-American!" after lying and saying that Rachel had trashed religion, even though Rachel had specifically said earlier that she has no problem with people having different religious views, as long as they stay out of public sector.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

54. Has Buchanan ever not looked like a half wit after debating her?

Buchanan's in one of the worst batting slumps I've ever seen.

[Ichingcarpenter]

58. He looked defeated

even when he sat down.... that was great

[vanderBeth]

57. Love her

:woohoo:

[babylonsister]

59. [e-mail]

Send kudos!

[Doremus]

60. She PWNED Pukeanan. He was PISSED. Ha ha ha

[WheelWalker]

62. She's not deferential to the old windbag. n/t

[WA98296]

69. Kicking for Rachel!
