Rachel Maddow? I used to listen to her show on the radio driving between Portland and Seattle and she was always so smart. Then she nervously sub'd for Keith Olbermann and now she has her own show and is having coffee with Obama. Pretty cool.

Now Obama's her pimp.

From what I understand, not exactly. As a Rhodes Scholar, the right probably wishes they had someone as smart as she on their side.

Discussing the new propaganda stories? During the Bush era Fox literally fabricated pro-administration stories. Many people think that fabricating news stories is illegal, it's not.

Yeah, what's your point?

If I remember correctly, this inviting "friendly" media to the White House is common practice for a president and I seem to remember when George Dubya was illegally inhabiting the White House that press friendly to him (can you say FOX?) were also invited to the White House.

So?

Or, you know, is it "different" when President Obama does it?

Yes, Rachel is a very, very intelligent and educated woman (Rhoades Scholar) who worked her way up, doing physical work such as landscaping (which is how she met her long-term partner) before finding success on the airwaves.

I'd love to see a debate between Rachel and any one (or more) of the Fox Bimbos. Which one is that really ditzy blonde? Gretchen Carlson? God, I'd pay to see that. L O L

Rachel Maddow looks like what Keith Olbermann would look like if Keith Olbermann were a man.
