Maddow Can't Bear the Horror, the Horror of GOP House Victories in NY
The strangest thing happened last night on MSNBC -- its self-proclaimed civics geek Rachel Maddow ignored the results not one but two special elections the day before to fill vacancies in the House.

Apparent Closet Racist Rachel Maddow Describes Obama as 'Boy King
Those crickets you hear? Her fellow left-wingers responding to Rachel Maddow referring to then-President Elect Obama as a "boy king" on her MSNBC show last night.
Yes, hard to believe. Even in an era when the president of the United States is a man of color, as is our attorney general, as is the governor of Massachusetts where Maddow lives, Obama must be subjected to such vile disrespect --…
Rachel Maddow Wants to Interview Dick Cheney. She Weally, Weally Does

Maddow and Rendell Oh So Amused by Quip Involving 'Hideous Child
Liberals like Rachel Maddow and former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell often express their deep and abiding concern for the well-being of children. Well, most children anyway. Providing they aren't "hideous".
