Martha Stewart Praises Rachel Maddow: 'Amazing' (VIDEO)
Does anyone have a link to the full segment?
_________________________

Maddow visited the domestic diva Wednesday to promote her upcoming special, "The McVeigh Tapes." In the process, Martha said that she's a huge fan of the MSNBC host.

"You do an amazing job, Rachel, I must tell you," Martha said. "I really watch everything that Rachel does on TV. Her program is thoroughly researched. You are a scholar, you know how important real research and real facts are in a news story, and I really, I get a lot of my information from you."

1. I think anyone that has anything close to an open mind would have to persuaded
when the facts and arguments are presented.

3. Plus she's got a wicked sense of humor.
When Sen. Coburn accused her of being "emotional", she said to stay tuned for her response "if I can get through it." :rofl:

Really, amusement is about the only "emotion" I've seen her express on the show, apart from passing empathy at bad news. Maybe that's why the right feels it has to attack her; ridicule is a powerful weapon.

4. She's a great dem
and one of the reasons she ended up in jail. There were people who did far worse than she did and they never did a day behind bars.

6. Yes! Her broker should have gone to jail and she should have been fined.
She was NOT convicted of insider trading, nor of lying, but rather dissembling.

7. I don't know that I've ever
seen anyone handle an injustice with more class than Martha Stewart. And after, she laughed at and joked about her jail time. Lots of respect coming from me - even more, now, with her Maddow comments.

9. Two women I greatly respect, Rachel for her brains and Martha because she's no punk

Martha stood up and did her time, she didn't bitch about it, she didn't blame it on someone else.

And Rachel - well, I just plain love my Rachel.
