What are they waiting for?
Amiable ninja, Rachel Maddow to host own MSNBC show? Be still my girl crushing heart.
Yes, please! (NY TIMES)
Since 2004, I have been watching more MSNBC — mostly for Olbermann, who love him or hate him (I happen to love him) has been out front with his criticism of Bush and his cronies while other mainstream media outlets continue to shine his shoes. I love Countdown, and a big reason why I enjoy it so much is when they have Rachel Maddow on.
It’s just so refreshing to see a fiercely intelligent woman on cable news. Rachel is the perfect analyst. She knows politics and policy like nobody’s business, and she has a very direct, honest way of communicating her opinions that is respectful, and always right on point without having to resort to the usual cut downs, and negativity that many talking heads on both sides of the political spectrum resort to. I always learn something when she is on Olbermann, and she did a fantastic job of filling in for him during his vacation. It seems fitting that she gets her own show.
Be sure to read the NY Times piece. You get a real sense of how adorkable and nerdy Rachel is. And I mean that in the best possible way.
Way to go Dr. Maddow!
