Another insufferable rambling opening monologue by Maddow

[bluestateguy]

No focus, no point.

Flip to the basketball game.

1. Haven't liked her as much since the midterms.

When she was commenting on it like she was watching a goddamn basketball game.

2. Hey, it's her trademark!

She gets to explain how 2+2=4 from 18 different angles. That way, even the densest of us has a chance of understanding her brilliance.

3. Madoow lost me....pmrmmenantwly

[George Eliot]

4. I've been MIA from Maddow for three years now.

I can't think of anything I like about her. Not her presentation, not her repetitiveness, nor her biased politics. Recently stopped watching MSNBC altogether.

5. I tune out most days

For this reason.

6. Bob Somerby, liberal critic of the liberal media, writes about Rachel

and her cutesy shtick at least on a regular basis.

7. What?

You don't like people waving their hands in your face?

8. M$NBCComcast is too right wing for my tastes. And Maddow had been bought and paid for to

support the war presidency.

9. What I thought were nervous tics turned out to be schtick

She doesn't need to do all that cutesy-poo shit. I can handle her opinion, even if I disagree with her analysis, without being distracted by all those mannerisms that were going out of control by the time I stopped watching. Which is too bad; even when I didn't come to the same conclusions she did, I usually did gain some new insights from her analysis.

10. I like her.

[lordsummerisle]

11. I've always liked Rachel

and I agree that she has drifted from the left to the center over the years. And yeah I see that she has mannerisms that many object to. But she is one of the last leftist holdovers who has survived the purge on MSNBC. These days, I take what I can get on basic cable.

In the end though I like to quote Stephanie Miller, "If you agree with someone all of the time about everything, you're probably an idiot..."

12. I am enjoying watching Ed on RT -- it is like the good old days

Channel 455 Verizon in my area (College Park, MD) just outside of DC

Catch it if you can!

13. Well, I like her

Yes, I do
