6. I'm watching her now

She said people are coming to the realization that science is our friend.

She's great and also pretty cute.
Ladies please it wasn't a sexist comment but I just really like her a lot.

7. I find this very interesting -- something Letterman said

"You will be leading the MSNBC coverage of the both the Republican and Democratic conventions." Now I did hear Matthews say, "Maddow and I ...." but I did not know she is the official lead. Rachel confirmed that. So where is David Gregory is all this? Has the network finally realized she is the attraction (along with Ed but whose wife is ill) there?

I no longer watch Meet the Press because of Gregory, and I am hoping this is an open sign the MSNBC recognizes that he is no competition for her. Of course, I doubt they would ever let Rachel host that show because too many Republicans would refuse to come on!

8. Cool

The two of them ribbing each other should be pretty funny. If anyone finds the clip afterward please post it as I'm not in the US.

10. Thanks

A friend on the west coast said it is on now. If I can't find it on CBS's website I'll just download the whole show using the "old fashion method".

Whoops -- that's from her own show, not Letterman. Thought I'd leave the link anyway.
