129. Rachel is the best, especially when her heart is into a story as now seems to be with health care...
Edited on Thu Aug-13-09 01:30 PM by LaPera
Rachel is a bit award on camera at times...but not in interviews with republicans, she's very smooth, likable, interested and clever.

Sly & clever could describe Ms. Maddow....Maddow is one of the few who knows how to go in for the kill in interviews and doesn't hesitate in doing it.....She one of the few with scruples & principles! Always standing her ground to protect both, even when up against intellectual bullies....Rachel always holds her own, mostly because she's usually well prepared.

Rachel is a naturally polite and sweet person, and it also helps to bring down the guest' defense, their guard....But watch out....before the repugs who thinks they've outsmarted Rachel knows it, they have usually said more then they wanted to and subtly just had their asses handed to them by the wonderful & lovely Rachel Maddow!
