Rachel Maddow's new show is a dream come true!
She really gets down to the nitty gritty and gets the facts out. I love it!

1. Oh! I was just going to post the same thing!
An intelligent vibrant discussion, a little humor, but mostly smart talk. Maybe it will catch on!

9. I just told my wife I like her format, because she can hit a little lower below the belt,
More like a street fight than a fight in a ring, gloves are off for her.

2. does she do her "Life during wartime" segment that she does on the radio?
It's a great segment and I'm guessing it won't be popular enough.

22. Pat Buchanan has become comedic relief
The guy is living in his own prehistoric world and doesn't realize the TV audience is laughing their heads off at him.

6. After all, Dr. Maddow really *is* a doctor!
Just not that kind of doctor!

No kidding...
The show is fantastic. She doesn't muck around. It's all rapid-fire, genuinely intelligent discussion... there's too much "let's sit around and speak slowly so everyone can understand us while we meander through one issue for an hour" on TV.

I actually like her TV show more than her radio show, and I'm a long-time listener.

12. She's perfect!
Her expressions, and just how she gets a point across, like that pause after she said, 'So what's John McCain saying about Iraq?' 'No, that wasn't a technical glitch...' LOL. Awesome.

14. She has a lot of interesting guests
that you rarely, if ever, see anywhere else on cable news.

16. I'm actually okay with it
because she usually smacks him down. It is good to know what the freaks are thinking though.
