My new Hero
I'm not one for news, I rarely watch it because for the most part, it's too damn depressing. I've enjoyed Keith Olberman from time to time, but I am never really in once place long enough to sit and watch it.
Rachel Maddow has a new show on MSNBC that it on right about the time I'm about to go to sleep so I watched it last night. Wow, this woman is not only really smart, but she doesn't take anyone's shit, and she's pretty damn funny. She was sparring with Pat Buchanan last night (since this is my blog and I can say what I want - He's a tool and a total mouthpiece for the Republicans) and just watching her reactions, I have to say I really like this woman a lot. She doesn't hold anything back, she thinks Palin was a bad choice and practically laughs in his face when Pat tries to defend her as a good choice.
This is not a Palin rant, don't worry. It's more about how a smart person(man or woman) is stepping up and telling people who are full of this just that, that they are full of shit. Of course she does it nicely, but she is refreshing in that she doesn't hold much back.
It also happens that she's totally anti-McCain/Palin so her points are pretty biased, or maybe that was just because Pat's a tool. Looking forward to seeing her tonight.
The other interesting thing about her is that she's only been on the air a very short period of time, and in that time has garnered a LOT more audience that she should. As my wife describes her(and i'll said it a little more nicely) she's Keith Olberman with different plumbing and boobs. I've always liked him, so it's no wonder I like her too.

I’m sorry to hear this. I found her to be obnoxious and loud, but then I think Keith is that way too…

Honestly, I think they’re both obnoxious and loud, and I’ll give you that they’re way left wing (or is it right? I’m so bad at politics).
I think what intrigued me was that I was entertained. I think it’s in the delivery rather than the actual words coming out of her mouth. I’ve never really cracked up while I’ve been watching the mainstream news, and I found myself chuckling several times. But then again, that’s probably because I really dislike Pat Buchanan.
The only time I’ve laughed at the news was when Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert do it. I think more than anything I was surprised at her candor I guess.
