I could be wrong, but these two have really good chemistry.





Does Rachel seems to have a certain "gleam" in her eye when ever she talks to Ana Marie Cox?







Ana Marie Cox..... I think she is married, but hmmm?

1. Oh, absolutely!
Whenever two women really like each other, and are smart and articulate and well-informed and enjoy each other's company - especially if one is a lesbian - you KNOW there's sexual longing involved. And married women are NEVER lesbians, we all know that.

OK?

Now, back under your rock..........................

2. They both have the sense of hipster snark.
That's probably why I enjoy watching Rachel's show so much. It's like having a conversation with a friend I know.

10. Well, what did you think?
Just because two women like each other and have good conversations about political topics, you see SEX.

LESBIAN SEX?

My goodness, how unenlightened.

Now, quick - guess what year it is...............

27. You know, maybe some people are a little too sensitive here...
Edited on Tue Jul-07-09 10:52 PM by MrMickeysMom
They could have used a "teachable moment", but they rather would give you a little slap in the face.

So what if you lifted up your dress and some of us saw your "ignorant" undies??? I guess the response you got is just to show you that some people are not as willing to point out wrong headed thinking in a kind way.

I believe I have what everyone else has inside their head when, for instance, I get to know another woman who has brains and beauty. I am stimulated throughout my brain with wanting to hear what they have to say, and if you saw how my hair is short, and androgynous I can come off, you might think the same of me, but I'm a human being and so is everyone else.

Tis the same thing when you watch the Maddow. She appeals to people... regardless. Now just pretend that anyone interacting with like people react with their brains, and whatever else follows is secondary and you might not even BOTHER asking these questions because it doesn't really matter. To wonder if they have sex is the last thing I care about.

But I have to imagine their job is difficult. A lot of this stuff really does just come down to someone's personal opinion.

And in the past I have posted the same thing about Chris Matthews and Michelle Bernard! And nobody had a problem with it.

20. OK, I think I got it now -
you think it's a joke to muse about the sexual attraction people on TV might have for each other in real life.

Right?

I'm old enough ..... to not take everything I read on an anonymous message board so personally.


I'm old enough ..... to have some fun and use some sarcasm occasionally



I'm old enough..... to not be so PC/Sensitive that everyone must "walk on eggshells" around me



How old are you?

and I still don't see what's funny about your imaginary sexual pairings.

Of course the mods can do what they want. But I am not going to request a lock based on what a few overly sensitive people, that browse the internet hoping to find any comment they can use as a slight.... determine what I do.

35. "... a few overly sensitive people ..."
I always love how someone decides what it is that should offend people, and what should not.

"Overly sensitive" is code for "If you don't think I'm funny, there's something wrong with you."

24. lots of chemistry
Intelligent, humorous and attractive women. The segments they do together are magic. It does seem like they could have a little fun spark. My head would explode if I even think about it any more in depth than that.

48. Let me see if I can find the interview she did back in November
Edited on Tue Jul-07-09 11:54 PM by rocktivity
Booya!

"Rachel has always worked really, really hard," says Susan Mikula, Maddow’s partner..."She works constantly. And not just busy work but really hard work."

Maddow laughs. "I have been a suicidal, stretched-too-thin, overcommitted, frenetic, sleepless mess for the entire time she has known me," she says. "And I don’t always have a job that justifies my being so intense about it. I think the reason that I worked hard is because it makes me feel like my life has meaning."

"It is existential angst," agrees Mikula.

A fine-arts photographer who specializes in alternative-process photo-installations, Mikula is a curvy, Stevie Nicks blonde and the decidedly femme half of the duo. They’ve been together for more than ten years, ever since Maddow showed up to do yard work at her house in western Massachusetts. "When I met her, she had her initials in metal leaf on the door of her jeep," says Maddow, an admirer of kitsch. "So hot. So hot."

You're welcome.

P.S. Ana is married to an editor at Congressional Quarterly. And Rachel said she ordered a TV one night after having a few cocktails too many.
