Maddow vs. the swooshes
Why does Rachel have to be a brat when her swooshes don't work right. Calling out the staff on the air is pretty pathetic.

She didn't act like a brat and she didn't "call out" the staff. They were annoying and she asked if they'd be fixed. When the problem persisted she said she'd do without them.

She did sound irritated at first, and then she laughed it off.....
..... come to think about it, it would make sense if she were irritated -- running from place to place, being out in the wind and now rain, and negotiating technical difficulties in a crowded convention. I would be ripping people's heads off!
Which brings me to another thing I've noticed.... she looks tired. Any idea if she's sick, working too hard, or just partying too hard. :) The parties at these things can be killers, but that' where you make awesome contacts. ;)

I was thinking last night that it must be particularly difficult for east coast media folks to be covering this thing on the west coast. Of course, I am old and Rachel is young and fit. So she's probably fine.

By Kathryn RoseAugust 27, 2008 - 7:56amNew McCain Ad Attacks Obama Kids
According to an article in the Huffington Post today, by Andy Borowitz (same title as the subject listed above) McCain also made the comment, "...we had to do something to give the American people some straight talk on those two brats...." (Check it out) Doesn't sound like the words of an American hero. Someone needs to give the American people some straight talk about this kind of behavior--since I doubt if those same people read the Huffington Post.

You people are idiots!!!!! Andy Borowitz is a COMEDIAN - the so-called article you are citing is part of Andy's sthick !!!!! GEEEZ no wonder liberalism is in such disarray - you guys can't even recognize humor when it is OBVIOUS!!!!!!!! By-the-way, in Denver, the Democratic party is about to nominate their own version of GWBUSH - a person with no experience or qualifications - AND while BUSH had a family name, Obama only has rhetoric. McCain is going to win this election. Learn to live with it.

I never said it wasn't a joke. I just provided a link.
TadCF didn't really do any more than set up the joke and try to get people to read the article. I'm pretty sure he knows it was a joke and just didn't think he needed to point that out to people.
No need to start insulting people.

I'm afraid that many of the GOPers who frequent the blogs are not known for their manners. Simply ignore the dolt, he/she is not worth your (or our) attention.
By the way, thanks for the link, I couldn't find it when I searched the Post.

By detepeAugust 26, 2008 - 8:32pmSorry for the non sequitur...
but I accidentally discovered that the IMDb page for THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW is open for business. Ask for it by name!
And the really great thing is that you can sing it to the tune of Gilda Radner's "(It's) The Judy Mil-ler Show!"

By KthCAugust 27, 2008 - 8:54amName for Rachelle's new TV Show
Please consider naming the show "Democracy 101 with Rachelle Maddow". I think it's the perfect name to show what you're all about.

Just in case anyone is suffering from the altitude (yeah, it's a real thing and perhaps Rachelle is looking off because of it) you need to make sure you're drinking plenty. Of water. Thought I might have to clarify that for all y'all low-landers. Tea is good too.

By karomanoAugust 27, 2008 - 11:41amKilo Kai found fun a way to tap into convention goers
Convention advertising gets better - according to Adage.com -
Kilo Kai rum, marketed by Chicago-based Apostrophe Brands.
The fledgling brand recently secured distribution in Minnesota, and it is planning a guerrilla stunt at the Republican convention that involves putting signs shaped like the sole of a shoe reading "Tap your toe if you're into Kilo Kai rum" on the floor of the site's restrooms. An early version of the ad features the words "U.S. Senate" in barely visible type on the sole.
Gotta love it.

Listening to RFTWH, hearing David Gregory perform high school yearbook-style journalism as he explores America's high school political mindset in a way that perpetuates it. Am so glad Rachel will have her own show. There are fun ways to do better than this.
