MSNBC The Rachel Maddow Show - Jan. 26, 2009. Author Joe Cirincione and Rachel discuss naming of a "WMD Czar" by Obama, something Bush never did.

1. So where did Cheney go? Is it now pixelated? Will it accept a supoenas?

2. This is beyond stupid

Live Maps (Microsoft's free version) has been showing the Observatory for the last 5 years.

Rachel needs the stupid slapped out of her.

4. And yet... Google Maps has not. So? /nt

5. No, Cheney needs teh stoopid slapped out of him.

He is the one who requested pixellation on Google and thought that would be enough to keep him invisible. Rachel is simply reporting that this particular stoopid is finally over.

6. Please be serious

If the White House wasn't pixelated, why would the VP's house matter. No conspiracy.

[tanyev]

8. Fact: Images of Naval Observatory have been scrambled for several years.

Fact: In recent days, the images have become much clearer.

Fact: Many, many news organizations and blogs have commented on this.

I'm not saying there was a conspiracy. I'm saying there was nothing wrong with Rachel commenting on it, too.

3. Wasted opportunity

Both Rachel and Kieth Olberman could serve a useful purpose if they weren't so biased that one has to take what they say with a big a grain of salt as one had to take Bush's words.

7. Instead of journalism, we get infotainment

I'm not expecting Rachel et al to fact-check every story they get, I'm expecting them to demand someone checks it out before they give it to them! But in the era of ratings "this looks good, run it".....

9. Critically important story is the WMD Czar..

I hope that Valerie Plame is contacted for possible position or advice on who to include on the staff for this WMD czar.

12. yep, incredible that Mr. Wmd never filled that spot - pure hypocrisy. nt
