Smith College’s All-Female Senior Class Goes Nuts for Rachel Maddow’s Commencement Date

By Queerty Staff February 22, 2010 at 11:02am

You think Rachel Maddow would get the same sort of reaction if, say, Bob Jones University had selected the MSNBC host as their commencement speaker? This is like Jesus descending on campus for these gals. Or at least Hillary Clinton.

    I do enjoy Rachel’s TV show, though I have to admit, I lament the loss of her Air America radio show. It was somehow more playful, more fun.

    Ask Dr. Maddow was my favorite section. She’s a PHd, not a medical doctor. But folks would write in with stuff they were “too lazy to Google”. It was a riot.
