I especially liked that the conversation prompted Leno to declare the oil spill as "worse than any terror attack." (at 2:53 mark of the above clip)

7. thanks for posting this link

I'm still with CoCo and won't watch Leno.

Rachel should be doing Meet The Press. She's the best thing MSNBC has going for them.

3. I missed it the first time - thanks for posting this!

Dang - the more I see of Rachel Maddow, the more I'm convinced that she is THE Most Important and Most Urgently Needed information broker on television, cable or otherwise, BAR NONE.

4. She is so great!!! I remember listening to her on the radio & then seeing her in a few

TV spots. When she got her show I was jazzed & thought "I hope she can last one season"...lol, now she has exploded into a giant.

I am so happy for her and us progressives who have a voice in the mass media.

5. And she asks a lot of the correct questions - the ones that need to be asked -

that those suck-asses like david gregory and chuck todd and wolf blitzer and candy crowley and the rest of the kiss-ass crowd. She's terrific. I'm so glad she has a platform. And she always seems FAR more interested in debunking the bullshit and getting the real facts than she is sucking up to political VIPs for the sake of that precious access and those much-coveted invitations to the "right" Georgetown cocktail parties. I wish SHE were host of "Meet the Press." She wouldn't be a wholly-owned subsidiary the way gregory is, or that toadying disgrace tim russert was.

6. She's a natural. And she is brilliant and well prepared.

Makes our side look good!
