**** Official thread for "they hired that gay lesbian woman on MSNBC"

[Ichingcarpenter]

I'm just quoting Faux and Fiends.

[tekisui]

1. No, they didn't say "that gay lesbian woman", did they?

Is that like a double negative?

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. I saw the thread in GD and yes they did

I'll try to find it

Rachel says she is gonna freak us out on the truth squad.

[NewJeffCT]

6. I know, does gay lesbian mean

that she's straight and we didn't know it - you know, they cancel each other out?

[Ichingcarpenter]

Well, its like 'super gay' in their mind

but their is not much up there in 'their mind"

Wow, investigative reporter from the WP!

[polmaven]

36. I don't think so,

I just think they really don't know any better.

Edit: I was laughing so hard I couldn't speel

[Coexist]

15. that would seem to be correct.

[MrsBrady]

2. this straight, married girl supports supports that lesbian woman!!!!

go girl!

my fave!

[annabanana]

4. This one too!

I lu-u-urve her!

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. I want to give her my micro babies.

I lu-u-urve her too!

She beat Larry King last night!!!

[Carolina]

41. make me three

I love her. She's smart as whip and so smooth. She nails the opposition with facts, a lovely smile and a delivery that zings and disarms but doesn't offend! Obama should take notes.

[JerseygirlCT]

25. This one too! nt

[Retrograde]

39. I think we're quite a large club! (n/t)

[Bluzmann57]

3. Well, she's very intelligent

she's very lucid, she's modest, she's not afraid to admit when she's wrong, and above all else, she's unafraid of the jokes who inhabit the rw.

[Smarmie Doofus]

17. People who are wrong that infrequently....

>>>she's very lucid, she's modest, she's not afraid to admit when she's wrong, and above all else, she's unafraid of the jokes who inhabit the rw.>>>>

... are rarely afraid to admit error. Why should they be?

I find her funny and pleasant to both the eye and the ear. In addition to all the other things.

And "lesbian": HUGE plus.

[liberalmuse]

7. OMG, I'm in love with her.

She's starting strong tonight. This should be good.

[nc4bo]

8. GO RACHEL - Luv ya! nt

[RepublicanElephant]

9. rachel needs a Politics, Issues & Media RACHEL MADDOW group

already.

[npk]

11. Gay lesbian, translation

A happy lesbian, I guess.

[WinkyDink]

12. That's "gay, lesbian , FABULOUS, SMART, and AWESOME woman" to them.

[KathieG]

13. LOVE Rachel!!!

:woohoo:

[TexasLady]

14. may be headed for a shock?

wonder what that is all about.

[Willo]

16. Instead of the unhappy lesbian woman?

just sayin' :shrug:

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. I have no clue what they meant

that's why I thought the thread title was humorous

Sounds like Palin abused Power though!

[Willo]

61. I should have made it clear I was questioning them and not you.

[eShirl]

18. smartest move MSNBC ever made (n/t)

[Graybeard]

19. She's taking on Failin' Palin the phony fake now.

Everything about the Repuke VP nominee was manufactured. The "remarkable story" was all lies and exaggerations. Rachel is all over this.

[RepublicanElephant]

22. "Failin' Palin" .... LOL!!!!!

i'm gonna have to steal that one!
:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. That's mine..... I named her that last week

Rachel you thief ! Rachel is rocking the house on her dumb boondoggles.

[napi21]

20. Well damn! Did they say the same thing about CNN when they hired

Anderson Cooper? I bet they didn't! I loved Rachel as a radio host and I love her as a TV host! But I think I'm going to return the Fox volly with YOU SEXIST PIGS! Rachel puts all of you lying AH's to shame with her ability and intelligence!

Not that it matters, but I'm a 65yo straight Dem white woman! I don't GAS what any of the TV people do offscreen. Why the hell should I?

[democraticjohn]

31. Neither do I, and I'm the opposite sex and I don't care

Wish that all the commentators and news folks on TV were as smart and as honest as Rachel is.

She should take over for Katie Couric on CBS........she is more honest and more awaare than Katie is.

[chicagoexpat]

23. Is a "gay lesbian" the same as straight? Like w/ double negatives...

;-)

Or does it mean she just don't wear plaid lumberjack shirts or work boots

[JerseygirlCT]

26. I was wondering, too... or as opposed to another kind of

lesbian?

Maybe someone from Lesbos?

[blondeatlast]

27. OMG; I just left it on after KO! Will I get THE GAY???!!!

Mr. B@L might like that but I dunno if I will. I tried it once but it apparently didn't catch! :rofl:

[Barack_America]

43. Not if you pray...really hard, RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!1!11!!!1111

;)

[Ichingcarpenter]

You need anti-gayness shots

Plus the Haggard/Craig intervention medication found
in Colorado Springs.

[shaniqua6392]

28. I saw them say that this morning!!

They neglected to say that she is also known as Dr. Rachel Maddow and was an accomplished Rhodes Scholar. I guess Fixed News Channel is in the habit of giving out information on the sexual orientation of the hosts on other networks now.

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. Except their own..... Can you find that for me?

They didn't even give her a name from what I read.

[kwenu]

29. She's gay and lesbian? Now that's something.

[Ichingcarpenter]

30. I like her show better than Keith's so far its like

Star Trek vs Star Trek the new generation.

[goodgd_yall]

32. It was bound to happen.

:rofl:

[napi21]

35. rachel has heard shit like that ever sincer she's enter the public domain.

She deals with it quite well. I'm nor worried and I doubt she is either!

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. Now she is going over the WSJ oped piece and Bob Barr is gonna be on

Rachel reads DU......... I have no doubt now

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. "When God Created Bloggers" can anyone quote that?

That was funny as hell!

[President_Obama]

38. Bless God's Document Dump!

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. Welcome to DU and that was part of it

it was a killer fade out she did. I think there was one more part of it.



Bob Barr is kicking butt on lobbyists for McCain.

[Carolina]

44. amazing, never thought I'd like Barr

after his slimy behavior during Clinton's impeachment. But, hey, Arianna changed and so it goes!

[Ichingcarpenter]

48. Barr is a constitutionalist

But a conservative nut, He still gives me the creeps.

[Barack_America]

42. ***Official "Let's Donate Money to Bob Barr" Subthread***

Seriously, if this guy's still in it after his appearance with Ron Paul tomorrow, is anybody else game for a donation (or two)?

Again, I'm serious here.

[Barack_America]

45. Just me?

Guess I'm a maverick. ;)

[Ichingcarpenter]

46. That is some serious shit.... I supported Ron Paul, not on DU

but for political divisionism reasons on right wing blogs.
Ron Paul scared me as a candidate after he started to grow,
I was afraid he would be the candidate for a little while.

Barr and Paul are gonna take votes away from McCain and not from Obama.

Good idea he is extremely popular in Texas.

[Barack_America]

47. Skinner has mentioned that he's cool with such discussions occurring on DU...

Otherwise I wouldn't mention it here.

See the response to this post.

Although I suppose this isn't necessarily "discreet". I've never been very good with that. :blush:

[Ichingcarpenter]

50. Well, you know me, I'm the sultan of tact

I have no money to send right now to Obama nor anyone else
I could start a daily thread on it though.

I really love her show there is twice the info on it as Keith's :)

[JerseygirlCT]

49. Can I just add this b/c it makes me giggle?

My kid looked at the logo for her show and said it looks like Fridays.

Maybe she needs to change the name of the show to Thank God it's Rachel Maddow!

[Ichingcarpenter]

55. Is it the banner on the left hand side?

I don't like that as a distraction.

[JerseygirlCT]

57. Or behind her sometimes -

the thing with the square set on a diagonal with her name it in, and the red and blue stripes coming out of it.

Or maybe we eat at chain restaurants way too much?

[Ichingcarpenter]

62. Well, I don't like it either its a bad design function

and I don't eat out.

[RepublicanElephant]

51. now the army's "big red one" symbol is privatized by sears?

i'm getting awfully sick and tired of everything being privatized!!!!!!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

54. What pisses me off now are songs about love that I grew up with

are now a reference to drugs for your asthma or such.

Some of those songs had romantic meanings to me.

[Beregond2]

52. Thank God. I HATE straight lesbians.

[Barack_America]

53. "Straight lesbians", aka "college freshmen".

Yeah, they're the WORST. ;)

[Beregond2]

64. LOL!

[Ichingcarpenter]

56. David Soreta ...... girls? and 527s

He's a great progressive also.

[Ichingcarpenter]

58. GUESS WHAT FOLKS!--------- NO FUCKING PAT BUCHANAN!!

[justiceischeap]

59. It's about damn time someone hired an open lesbian for something! (eom)

[Ichingcarpenter]

60. SHE READS DU...... MY FIRST STORY TODAY WAS ON THE LPGA STORY!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3956498&mesg_id=3956498

[Monk06]

63. So how do they know she isn't a hetero lesbian?

[Motown_Johnny]

65. tonight she promised to "clean her in box".... wow, how dirty is hat?
