Larry Flynt on Rachel Maddow tonight. I loved this!
And plays last week’s Rachel Maddow video clip listing his accomplishments since taking office. (??) Cool for Rachel, but that’s kinda odd….
He says, “What I’m asking you is to keep making your voices heard. To keep holding me accountable. … Change doesn’t come from the top down; it comes from the bottom up.”
“Countdown” and “The Rachel Maddow Show” are the most-viewed cable news tv websites, according to this PDF from Hitwise.
“Rachel Maddow’s Super-Hot High School Yearbook Photo”
I’d think that was photoshopped except for the cowlick in the front. Even for the fabulous Rachel, could her face really look exactly the same 20 years later?

Maddow: Two-Faced Republicans bitching about getting their demands met on health care reform. Hypocrites, the lot of ‘em.
Rachel Maddow strikes again!!
A heated exchange took place during NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday when MSNBC host Rachel Maddow accused Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) of hypocrisy for railing against a spending bill in public while touting its benefits in his home district.
Appearing alongside each other during a panel session, Maddow pivoted from a discussion on job creation to note that Schock had appeared at an event on Friday touting a grant program that he had voted against.
“You, in your district, I just read that you were at a community college touting a $350,000 green technology education program, talking about how great that was going to be for your district,” she said. “You voted against the bill that created that grant. That’s happening a lot with Republicans sort of taking credit for things that Democratic bills do and then Republicans simultaneously touting their votes against them and trashing them. That, I think, is a problem that needs to be resolved within your caucus. Because you seem like a very nice person but that is a very hypocritical stance to take.”
i don’t know what the right move is in afghanistan, and i know that this troop escalation is not a surprise or betrayal by obama. but this rachel maddow video explains what i find most troubling about all of this - the preservation of the ‘bush doctrine’ that argues that we must use military force not only when national security is threatened, but when it might be threatened.
