Rachel Maddow Outsmarts Bill O'Reilly

From the "Department of That's No Surprise" comes this video clip of Rachel Maddow running circles around Bill O'Reilly without working up a sweat.



Sorry for all the Rachel clips lately, but damn.

Dumb Questions - Luke Russert and Charlie Rangel Spar For Our Entertainment

I'm no Luke Russert fanboy, but for once, the guy is asking the right questions and pressing to get answers.



Rachel is right - Charlie is in deep doo-doo. The fact that he thinks criticizing a news organization like NBC will garner sympathy for his cause says more about traditional media than it does Charlie Rangel, who appears from the allegations to be as crooked as a country road.

Rachel Maddow's Gulf Oil Map

Well, when you look at it using a map, the uproar over halting exploratory drilling seems even more ridiculous.

Arizona Politician Gets Schooled

As Arizona plunges forward in their quest to become the laughingstock of the world, it's gotten so ridiculous that a high school journalism student makes an elected official stammer, stutter, and run away when confronted by his very own voting record.



As noted in the Maddow blog, a seasoned pol, especially one running to become Arizona's schools superintendent, should have no problem answering some simple funding questions. And yet...

Rachel Maddow Provides Rope For Rand Paul To Hang Himself

Sometimes all it takes is a television journalist who comes prepared and refuses to have the discussion diverted away from the topic at hand.

Rachel Maddow's Rules for Living

I have a middle-aged man-crush on Rachel Maddow.

Here are her ten Rules for Living.

1) Tweet others as you would wish to be tweeted.

2) Never use glasses you found in the lost and found box.

3) Never turn down anything someone offers you -- it's a sure way not to get it.

4) Never pull anyone's finger.

5) Hot glass looks like cold glass.

6) When climbing a mountain take a measuring tape.

7) Always measure. You owe it to the alcohol.

8) If you've got to fight, be sure you're right -- then win.

9) Never wear your shoes to bed.

10) You want common sense? Sortition for it!

Rachel Maddow Calls 'Neener Neener" on David Koch

Rachel Maddow at her best - calling out David Koch, founder of Americans for Prosperity, on his claims that he's not funding tea party activities. Sure sounds like that's not completely true.

“Let's have the great debate about the role of government… only you can’t threaten to shoot people. And you have to stop making stuff up.”

Rachel Maddow Finds The Horse's Ass - It's J. D. Hayworth

"Well, it either is true or it isn't," said Maddow. "It's empirical."

Rachel Maddow, Game Changer?

Eclectablog posts an interesting thesis: Rachel Maddow is singlehandedly trying to change the country's trajectory.

Rachel Maddow has been on FIRE this week. I've been a fan of hers since I started listening to her Air America podcasts three years ago. Smart. Funny. Brilliant. Incisive. Genius. Awesome. All of these words describe her well. When she's on a panel, she's the smartest person there. When she's on the radio, she has no peer. When she's on television, she brings a fresh dose of reality into our living rooms unlike any other pundit or newsperson.

But this week...ah, this week. Rachel Maddow is clearly out to change the way things are in this country right now. Our current trajectory is toward a gridlocked Congress that can accomplish nothing. If that doesn't change, it won't matter which party is in power, nothing significant will ever be accomplished ever again.

Rachel Maddow is out to change that trajectory.
