It's a matter of taste, of course.  If Rachel were so inclined I'd choose her over any of the Fox bimbettes.

Best political show I've watched in many a moon. Explains things clearly. Definitely a leftward lean, and some unnecessary hyperbole - but not a stupid show. That would be worse.

Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

Yea, I saw that on her show when he (Brown) kept bringing this up.  I believe it was the Senator who kept talking about it and Rachel was using his remarks as a ratings ploy as she repeateadly said over and over that she has never and does not ever have any intention of running all the while Brown kept insinuating that she should bring it on.  I also was not aware that ratings numbers and voting numbers were correlated in any way, is that a new political science formula that I was not aware of?

Actually, I was wrong. It was not Howie Carr that wrote this, it was the Herald's Editorial Staff. (!!)

Rachel Maddow for what?

After a week of serious grownup news, what we all really needed was a little comic relief and thank goodness for the self-absorbed rantings of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow for supplying it.

In an apparent attempt to reverse slumping ratings, Maddow's bosses even took out an ad so she could vent uncensored about how Sen. Scott Brown "smeared" her by indicating in a fund-raising letter that Democrats were trying to recruit her.

Now we're a little unclear how a run for Senate - however improbable - constitutes a "smear." But that aside Maddow's petulance seems, well, just a little contrived.

Brown, of course, has been inundated with interview requests since his January election victory. He's just as popular on the Republican fund-raising circuit.

And Maddow might want to contemplate these numbers: Brown got 1,167,178 votes in that Senate election. Maddow's total national Nielsen Company ratings run about 881,000 (but only 240,000 in the coveted 25 to 54 age group).

Now if only Keith Olbermann would buy a summer home on the Cape . . .

Maddow was in a dustup with Senator Scott Brown recently. Someone was floating the rumor that she was going to run against Scott for his seat in 2012. I think it was Howie Carr who pointed out that more people voted for Brown in his special election than watch Rachel Maddow so she should keep her day job. I thought that was funny...

Mmm-nerp! She's the yang to O'Reilly's ying...and I oft walk away 'balanced'.

Don't get me started about Olberman though!!!

Shoot Mugsy,...even I watch Rachel sometimes!

Oh! So YOU guys are the 12-15 people in America who watch Maddow! I was wondering who they were....

Rachel is going to be on the Daily Show tonight.

Rachel has some fun stuff in her Flickr Account.
