Someone has a crush on Rachel Maddow

[Pab Sungenis]

From this week's (so far) "New Adventures of Queen Victoria:"

1. I like RM's content and persepctive, but I have to admit the her presentation style

is a weird blend of smarmy and snarky. Smarky?

Eitherway, I'm still glad she is on mainstream cable.

[coyotespaw]

3. I like the fact that she's on cable

and listen to the replay of her show on the radio, but I can't watch it due to her incessant blinking. She is brilliant, and has great sources, but I can't shake the feeling that she's sending subliminal morse code messages.

4. that's funny.

but I know what you mean.

5. I actually download the audio podcast of the show from MSNBC

tag it as an audiobook in iTunes and listen to it on "high" speed. That lets me listen to her and Olbermann's shows in just over a half hour each. Also lets me get through Malloy in 1:25. Plus, no distracting visuals.

9. It is the only time she wears contac lenses

That combined with the bright lights are probably most of the reason she blinks

7. or snarmy? Either way I like her little quirks.

And, . . . odd, I've never noticed the blinking.

Maybe the smarkiness could be potted-down just a notch or two . . . just as long as it doesn't go away entirely. I'm tired of cookie-cutter talking heads.

2. Unimaginable.

6. Mum's eyes in the last frame!!! LOL!!

:rofl:

[monmouth]

8. I often wake up early and am able to catch her around 5:15 a.m. on

my DirectTV. I get off politics after Keith and enjoy her in the morning. Sort of sets the tone for my day.
