Here's the beginning of the article. couldn't find a clip.

Rachel Maddow Tells Katie Couric, “I’m Not Competing on the Pretty-Girl-on-Cable Front”

Is she a voice of reason, or a lefty response to Fox News’ conservative pundits? Whatever your take, Rachel Maddow, 37, of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, is making waves. Her ratings are up 24 percent over last year among 25- to 54-year-olds as she focuses on issues dear to her viewers’ hearts, from the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy to restrictions on abortion rights. I talked to the unabashedly nerdy anchor about how it feels to have her hard work pay off.

KATIE COURIC: Since Keith Olbermann left MSNBC, you’re being called “the face of the network.” What does that mean?

RACHEL MADDOW: I don’t know.

KATIE COURIC: Obviously you’re very moved by the title.

RACHEL MADDOW: I still think of myself as the new kid, even though I’ve been on the air for two and a half years. But my job is the same as it ever was, which is to make 9:00 P.M. as good as I can.

Go Rachel! I'll bet she can name a Supreme Court decision.

2. If asked what newspaper or magazine she reads, I am sure she would be able to name quite a few.

[OKNancy]

3. Thanks for posting... not really in depth, but still interesting

and entertaining.
KATIE COURIC: Wow. All right. Who is someone you’d love to have on the show?

RACHEL MADDOW: Osama bin Laden or one of his henchmen. I would love to have a conversation with them. I would also like to kill ‘em with a dull spoon, but I’m not supposed to say that.

If I were on my way out of my current job, I'd interview anyone I'd want.

What can CBS do? Fire Couric?

[monmouth]

4. I truly think she is one of the prettiest faces on TV. Of course, when

you're beautiful inside it does sort of come out...LOL...

5. Name a Supreme Court decision - forget that! I'd love to see her ON the Supreme Court.

She'd outsmart everyone else and she'd shut up Alito, Scalia and Roberts.


Ahhhh - a girl can dream ;)

6. If Katie had interviewed Rachel on Katie's first anchor day instead of LIMBOsevic

she might have been signing a renewed contract.
