I absolutely can't stand Rachael Maddow.
I find her voice irritating, her manner frustrating, her topics enraging, her worry debasing, her hair condescending, and her oeuvre befouling. I believe that she is single-handedly destroying my enjoyment of television, Obama's chances of victory, and the very foundations of American democracy, liberalism in general, and in fact all manner of post-Enlightenment thought. She is a pox, a pustule, and a piss-drinker of the lowest order. I hate everything about her.

Why, I hate her so much, I find myself utterly and completely compelled to tune in every single night, watch her with rapt attention, and then fire up DU and comment on every single utterance that escapes her lips. No, though it kills me, I shall not miss a minute of her show, for doing so would rob me of that which I treasure above all else in this life: the opportunity to explain, in excruciating detail, exactly what I do not like about her.

I do not care how many OPs I must make, how many identical threads I must participate in, nor how many hours of my life I must spend maintaining my sacred vigil. For this--this, and this alone--is my true calling. God bless America, and God bless we dedicated, Maddow-fearing few.

5. that's weird....
I think she's kinda cute (in a non-gay way, of course) and I like her enthusiasm.

6. bwaaaaa! you had me going!
Until I got to "her hair condescending" and then I spit all over my desk... and it kept getting better!

Thank you! That was completely hilarious!

11. LOL!
I am amazed that there are people so perfect or imperfect to associate with that the idea of 90-95% love with 5-10% hate (and vice versa) is so hard to grasp. Or 50/50, 60/40, or whatever.

15. I have been finding both Rachel and Keith irritating lately.
What is with their style of asking a question in which they both feel they have to inject so much nuance just to show how much they know.
Ask the damned question and let the interviewee answer it - with their nuanced intellect.

18. Who's Rachel Maddow? Why does she matter?
These celebrity talking heads on commercial TV do what they are paid to. Why would anyone think they are more than that?

26. DU has a mod who doesn't know who Rachel Maddow is?
No offense intended cbayer but that just seems... wrong somehow.

20. And I thought the wingnuts buying French wine to pour it in the gutter was a brilliant plan!
I too will watch her show every day just to keep an eye on her. ;)

24. Reading through your post again and again, I come to a conclusion
You really love Rachael and can't rationalize it or you've got your tongue firmly implanted in your cheek.

I was so hooked in, I'm grateful the post didn't end in a Bel-Air or a RickRoll.
