I don't care what Rachel Maddow does with her genitalia. It's what she does with her brain that's annoying.; 5/20/09, 11:55 AM

mccullough said...: The headline referring to Anderson Cooper is a lame swipe. If he wants to keep his private life private, then that should be respected.

Actually, remember how annoying Kathie Lee Gifford was when she talked about her kids and husband all the time? Then the National Enquirer "entrapped" her husband into cheating on her.

Maybe they will set up Rachel Maddow as well if she keeps it up.; 5/20/09, 11:59 AM

I agree. I also don't beleive Madow is really gay. Any woman who falaciates Obama as much as she does has to be straight or at least very bi.; 5/20/09, 12:03 PM

Can someone as woefully confused and wrong about nearly everything as Maddow, really be said to have recieved a "first class education"? I don't think hanging out in the hate studies and herstory sections of elite colleges for four years really counts as a first class education.; 5/20/09, 12:20 PM

It's great to be the queen of snark on TV!; 5/20/09, 12:27 PM

John said...: If I am not mistaken, Susan had some serious cash and Maddow was a poor grad student. If Maddow wasn't gay before then, she was after the opportunity to move into a nice house and have financial security in return for laying down presented itself.; 5/20/09, 12:44 PM
garage mahal said...: Oppo research on Rachel Maddow's lesbian partner. Wow, who has that kind of time.; 5/20/09, 12:50 PM
save_the_rustbelt said...: Maddow is irritating, although not nearly as irritating as Olbermann.

Fox and MSNBC are apparently having a contest to see which can avoid all journalistic standards in one evening.; 5/20/09, 1:01 PM

Some of us have these things called long term memories. That means when we hear something casually on TV or repeated by someone else or read it, we remember the fact. Then, it comes back to us later when the subject comes up again. We can even do this without doing research. It just happens. I know it must be a mysterious process for someone like you. But, it really does work that way.; 5/20/09, 1:03 PM
garage mahal said...: Dude, thread after thread you're predictable and fucking boring as hell. Snap out of it and write something amusing. Come on! I know you can do it.; 5/20/09, 1:44 PM

traditionalguy said...: The openly gay ladies like Rachel that I meet lately all have had a strong tendency to seek legal rules and angles to control life of those aroud them. Is this an insecurity, or is it stress related from the fear of rejection? Anyway, their need to be the loudest voice in the room has to be adjusted to by the group that has accepted them. I find Rachel to be very bright and a great communicator, and style wise no worse than Hannity.; 5/20/09, 2:13 PM
Anonymous said...: Wow! People writing comments here about someone on TV named Rachel Maddow. Who has that kind of time?; 5/20/09, 5:13 PM
Beth said...: If Maddow wasn't gay before thenWhat? I'm always amazed when someone even humorously speculates like this. How is it even remotely not obvious that Rachel Maddow is a lesbian? Yes, yes, sure, sure, lots of gay women don't "look" gay, but come on. Lots do. And she does. (I love it! I've passed many happy hours playing "spot the dyke" in public places.); 5/20/09, 5:15 PM
