Just want to say that the Rachel Maddow Show ROCKS! Wow - she was great last night!
If you haven't seen her show yet make sure you check it out! I think her intelligence and calm interaction with her guests is outstanding! She "handles" everyone the same and is so brilliant I am sorry it took so long for MSNBC to give her a shot, but then again I am so glad they did!

1. Schooling that little Puke punk at the end who was claiming
"no difference between Obama's & McCain's troop withdrawal plans in Iraq" was a glorious sight to behold!! I just wish it could have gone on longer, and she did promise to bring him back so could rightfully finish the smackdown!

6. I do like Keith immensely, but
Rachel is, (IMHO) a little more fun at the moment because it is a new voice and style coming across. I think in time, I will see them the same way I see Stewart and Colbert - two different styles and approaches, but the same great messages and ideas. Like Colbert and Stewart, it seems like they really enjoy working with each other.

8. Keith is good, but I feel that there is too much focus on the show itself
I like that she is more apt to call a time-out, take a step back and re-frame the daily 'catnip' issue for the media.

10. I agree, but I think that with
Rachel and Kieth tag teaming, as it were, he can pull back from some of that. Still, the two together make a great two hour respite from the normal drivel we are fed.

11. The two hours of watchable MSNBC
Like a stopped clock they are correct two times a day now!

These two shows are a break in the the savagery of Scar, Tweety and MSPrisonTeeVee!
