Rachel Maddow is the smartest commentator on TV

[prolesunited]

and she must have an amazing staff.

[RandomThoughts]

1. She has some good comments.

So I refrain from comment on the things she does wrong, since she tries to get to thoughts and feelings behind issues.

Although she does the same things your comment tries to do. I think I will get around to that issue a little later.

4. She's the Best!

Now she is Fair and Balanced...

[northoftheborder]

2. Her producer is really a neat guy, also has a sense of....

...humor like Rachel; I think she has a lot of power over what goes on her show, though. She's definitely the best interviewer on TV. And she is super smart.

3. Not commenting.

Rachel is so delectable, even those faded blue jeans and birth-control glasses don't hide her appeal, as much as she would like them too.

Hey, straight chick here who would do her in a nanosecond, glasses and all.

[xultar]

12. Straight chick and I've had a Cush on her b4 u. Hands off my woman!

[travelingtypist]

18. Hey, sorry, didn't mean to over-step.

Lol.

I'll be fangirl number whatever you want.

:hi:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

27. Gay for Rachel!

I think she is adorable, especially the birth-control glasses! :D

[Imagevision]

32. She's brilliant, cool, savvy and...adorable and man does she ever know whatever it is she's talking

[butterfly77]

5. She looks into an issue..

very throughly something which our so called media never seem to do.

[Terra Alta]

6. Rachel is awesome.

She is one of my heroes.

[madmax]

7. Rachel is one of the best.

I was talking to a friend today about most members of... what the hell are they? Bullshit artists? You know guys like David Gregory and Howard Kurtz and a slew of others. They ask their guests a question and we listen to a bunch of bullshit and lies and the host never call them on it. Rachel never let's that crap go by without having facts to back her up and all but calling them liars to their face. I love to watch them squirm.

I did hear one guy play a tape back when Christine O'Donnell who is running for Senate in Delaware denied a comment she had made and he plays a tape where she most certainly did. Those are the types of interviews I like. If they're lying call them on it, or why bother?

[BrklynLiberal]

8. She has more natural intelligence than most of the others all put together.

[Kolesar]

10. She has a Bill Moyers-esque skill for communicating

She finds the "human" value to stories.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. Excellent comparison.

[malaise]

9. Rachel is simply the best-

a pro.

[Cleita]

11. With all the Democrat bashing in what media there

was this weekend, especially how we are going to lose soooo badly in November, she is the only commentator who has pointed out how the Republicans are falling apart and it's colossal right down to Michael Steele's trip to the Mariannas far from where the action is! :-) Too bad we can't get the M$M to actually report what is going on.

[gophates]

13. Imagine her as an anchor.

News AND ratings.

[Cleita]

20. I imagine her as moderator on Meet the Press.

Gregory has got to go. He doesn't have her panache for pulling teeth in an interview. She would have done a really good job on Mitch McConnell in THAT interview.

[xultar]

14. Rachel has made me bisexual. Her brain and her looks make her so attractive to me.

[SeattleGirl]

15. She's definitely the smartest kid in class.

She and her staff do their research, and best of all, she is fearless!

She was made for doing what she does!

[RKP5637]

16. Yep!!! She's the greatest IMO!!! n/t

[HEyHEY]

17. Smarter than Maury Povich!?

Surly you jest, madam!

[prolesunited]

26. Surely, YOU jest

Who's your baby daddy? He must own shares in the paternity lab he uses.

[HEyHEY]

31. Hey, that's a good racket, thanks for the idea!

[Kolesar]

21. DU has a "Keith Olberman Estrogen Brigade", why not a "Rachel Maddow Estrogen..."

...oh, never mind.

[prolesunited]

25. I'm a woman.

I like them both. They both have their good points, but I favor her for many of the reasons cited above. Basically, she cuts through the B.S. and comes prepared for the discussion armed with facts, not just the talking points making the rounds.

She never lets people who she interviews get away with anything, but she is always polite and civil. It's refreshing.

[applegrove]

22. I know. I think I am going to extend my cable just to get her in Canada.

[Kolesar]

24. She could grab the end of the cable and you pull her across the border?

[Enthusiast]

23. K&R She is! nt

[AtomicKitten]

28. Yes she is. That's one woman I'd whole-heartedly back for political office. nt

[FirstTimeVoterAt37]

29. I'd love to go out to dinner with Rachel

I wouldn't say a word, and it would be an incredible hour or so.

[prolesunited]

30. That might make her uncomfortable

I doubt she does private one-hour shows for her dinner companions.
