Please, Rachel, Leave the On-Set Gimmicks to Glenn Beck
Nooooo! Rachel Maddow, don’t stoop to Glenn Beck’s tactics of using props to explain the healthcare debate. We get it, you had a chance to have a pretty lady basketball player on the set with you, but this gimmick is the territory of morons like Beck.
Yes, the same Beck who was forced into a week-long “cool down” vacation this week.
Agreed. A lot of what she does is corny as hell.
and Kent Jones can take a hike.
Except that she backs it up with the most intelligent commentary on TV and elsewhere. She is as sharp as they come, with humor and humility on top of that. This country would be a better place if we had more Rachel Maddows.
She explains smartly what is happening in a way that a lot of viewers may not get. So I agree with Red Phone. Let me add that part of the issue here is that liberals want to be the most intelligent kid in the room so much that they forget to be the smartest. There is a difference. I can see the influence of this intelligent but not smart all the time in debates coming out of DC.
there is nothing inherently wrong with using props, on either side. at least maddow did it smartly and it entertained and educated me.
I love me some Rachel. My partner and I are addicted…tivo and everything, just in case we miss even 2 minutes. But….she is far too intelligent (Rhodes scholar and Ph.D.) for this embarassing juvenile stuff. Well, and the basketball/lesbiana angle was oinky too…how about tap dancing or water ballet? KIDDING! both times…lesbiana and tap dancing.
Rachel is fantastic. Her ability to fuse excellent political commentary and analysis with humor makes her one of the few good prime time news anchors. Not to mention she invites and openly debates coservatives.
To criticize over props seems pretty lame queerty. She a strong progressive, lets not start compareing her to glenn beck.
i love rachel LEAVE HER ALONE!
I’m not particularly fond of either of them. I probably agree with Beck more than Maddow, but they are both clowns as far as im concerned. Leave the entertainment and commentary to other people, and deliver the facts of the news only. I don’t mind commentary, but it is replacing good impartial reporting.
you’re right. that segment was tragic.
she’s smart and well-educated but i don’t think she has a thought in her head that didn’t come in a pamphlet.
And we see the “I am intelligent” crowd on display here. I would not put you people in charge of a lemon aid stand.
Ah lets see….news topics of the day….Rachael? or Queerty?
Queerty criticizing Rachael for bad news coverage is not a coherent arguement…..Yawn
In my book, you sizzle, Rachael. You go, girl!
She used a prop in an intelligent way that helped explain the issue in a way most people, including those who aren’t political junkies, can understand. Glenn Beck uses them in infantile, often hateful, ways… that don’t express any point in particular and aren’t at all intelligent.
This post has no merit.
