The Rachel Maddow Podthing - Four War Years

[DirectXControl]

If we're lucky, the reason their experts are such chumps is that there's nobody smart left to defend a stupid point.

[jlprizm]

haha..my god..i couldn't even listen to tom delay's answers. what the f??? unbelievable. i swear half the time they could get a stranger off the street and it would be more insightful than these random dumbasses that are so-called experts on such important issues.

[bluegrrl70]

a grand square in baghdad named after bush? umm, more like public toilets named after bush, with the likeness of his face in the bowl, so the iraqi people can piss and shit on him daily.

but they'd need running water and electricity first.

[tarquin08]

Rachel for President!!

[CityzenJane]

That will only happen in the Republic of Totally Freaking Awesome.

[jlprizm]

We can at least try to form it! Ahh..I'm dreaming of it now. it would be so sweet!

[JellyBean2144]

Rachel Maddow, we love you!! Awesome lady.

[andreoneill1]

00:56 "Why do we still ask this man's opinion about anything?"

How about, why can't Maddow get a mainstream radio show instead of being on Air America?

Because she can't compete, that's why. Nobody wants to hear her "show".

[blackgargamel]

marrante et intelligente cette nana.

[lifter1204]

Rachel, you rock, dear!

[InuvikPhil]

I like her tone! Very confident and sarcastic and SMART. :)

[tasteface]

OMG axis of eyebrows.

[OaktownUSA]

Rachel Maddow is clearly intelligent, witty, charming and well-informed about the geo-political situation, but that doesn't resonate with conservatives because listening to her requires them to use their brains, and that hurts their heads.

[ginerlynn]

Rachel...awesome as usual.

[wntoply6]

tom delay & other texans like him is what's wrong with the USA. they want way too much texas justice with out reality if you ask me. i wouldn't want to live in a delay america. because i don't believe in his texas justice, i'd have been either jailed for life or executed. fuck texas...let mexico have it and the bush family.

[showbirds]

She is awesome and a great reason to have XM radio

[maxwelk1]

I thlink I figured out what I found off-putting about Rachel eyeballing the camera. Truth is, she seldom looks directly into the camera. She's either reading a teleprompter or ignoring the camera altogether when she reacts to another guest.

[danielmountain]

she's a radio host, get over it

[szatmar666]

Finally! republican quote chimps treated as they deserve to be treated: not as much on substance since they lack that, but rather on their comedic value since they are all just a joke at this point. Rache, respectfully: I just subscribed to your tube... and yeah, why not borrow the sammy cam?!

[cdoc77]

Point by point, I agree with what she said here. But I object to the method she uses. She's sorta like the Liberal Rush Limbaugh. She uses sarcastic humor to ridicule the other side. Its just kind of cheap. When Olbermann does it, its more intelligent and fact-based, although perhaps just as sarcastic.

[TwinSwords2]

Rachel is the best!

[iladave]

Very very good rachel, love this video. hey maybe you could go steal or borrow the "sammy-cam" from the the sam sedar show.. then we could see more of you and kent. keep it between the lines.... thanks

[crapcrap420]

this is a good way experiment rachel! its strange how as a nation we 'get use to' 4 long years of war, 32,000 lives lost...24,000 injured for life....and yet burning issue is height! totally makes sense:-!!

[spotticus]

Thanks so much for these podcasts. Also, great job on CNN this evening (3/20/07)! Keep up the great work!

[erinwanze]

I wish we could watch a video of her entire show. Her manerisms and mocking facial expressions when they were playing the Tom Delay clip had me doubled over laughing. LOVE her.

[maxwelk1]

I agree, mostly, although she seems a bit too aware of the camera. Other than that, great delivery.

[jeffdalon]

Like....she's looking into it?  That's what people do when they are talking to an audience while on camera. Should she ignore it? I don't get your point, Max.

[maxwelk1]

My point was that she seemed somewhat uncomfortable with the camera. I will grant you I'm being 'way subjective here.

[susanweisser]

I couldn't disagree more...Rachel is adorable, and to cdoc77-- if you don't like her sarcasm, you don't appreciate her. Go listen to someone else...with no sense of humor.

[ShelaghCol]

Woohoo! Keep 'em coming!

Rachel needs her own regular show on the TV machine!

[clarkeharris]

Rachel...Brava! I thought I was hallucinating when I saw Delay and Perle on Russert discussing Iraq. I think Timmy may be suffering an overload from "Scooter's" trial. I was waiting for the disclaimer on the use of the King of PNAC and the Sugerland-exterminator. but NBC must have thought this made sense!!! Rachel...you were fabulous. Now if we could get you on TV an hour after Keith~

[escapetochengdu]

Well done!

[jazon110]

Rachel should have her own show, she rocks!

[maxwelk1]

Rachel has her own show, "The Cross-Dressing Lesbian Man-beast" (aka "Cowgirl") Show" and yes, she rocks!

Too bad she's right so often (not to mention downright funny). She should send MSM her photoshoot from when she won "Miss Informed" and give them some false security.

[ambergris1]

I did youtube search for "The Cross-Dressing Lesbian Man-beast," and "Cowgirl," and came up Maddowless. I'll keep looking.

[maxwelk1]

Search for "The Rachel Maddow Show" and you'll have better luck (but you knew that, didn't you?). For "Cross...etc", you may some luck if you google "Bob Ney", but be careful! Bad things happen to people who use that term. Just ask Bob Ney.

[ambergris1]

-yes. I knew that anyway. I'll see your Ney and raise you 1 "torture guy," and 4 scapegoats.

[bzemky]

Rachel is awesome as always.

[maxwelk1]

Ah, Janeane's Revenge! This MTP was payback for the runup to the war, when Ms. Garofalo was one of the few anti-war voices allowed on the air. Nothing says "Gravitas" in int. affairs quite like "comedienne/actress"! Now the war-pigs get to be the clowns. SWEET!

[kosmicslop]

And yet, don't you think it a bit sad that a "comedienne/actress" has a better handle on international affairs than most people booked on the show?

[maxwelk1]

I don't think it's sad at all; I think it's very revealing that the greatest strategic mind (even greater than coach Joe Gibbs) in our nation is Generalissima Janeane. I have a Scooby-Doo moment every time I think about it.

[khalesk82]

We continue to think the way they would like us to. if this were anything else but politics, say mathematics. and someone without a math degree had something relevant to say. people would listen. why does one need to be a member of such an elite few to be respected? Opinion control... and its working...Look at how we continue to think within the framework of thinking our opinion is worth less than theirs
