Maddow has more testosterone than most liberal men.

[Yardstick]

You can always cast yourself as unlikely when you’re fundamentally alienated in your worldview.

So she's assured membership in the sprawling liberal herd of the "alienated".

[DavidLSpud]

Rachel might be ...smart as an Anchor????

Perhaps...

...didn’t she cornfuze Balkans with Baltic...

( ; }... I believe she is “corn” “fuzed”

Jim Geraghty's Theory on Drive-By Media

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Jim Geraghty, our buddy at National Review Online, I think his blog is called The Campaign Spot. He's come up with an interesting way of describing what has happened in the Drive-By Media. He's calling it "narrative journalism." I described this on Monday in my long dissertation on power, not truth. That to powerful people and, in this case, people that think they're powerful -- left, the media, Democrats -- the truth of everything is a relative matter, everything's relative.

There is no truth, that power is much more important than truth, and with power you can make the truth whatever you want it to be. And that's my version of what's happening right now in the media. He calls it "narrative journalism." It's the same thing. You pick an outcome. You take a story, like the Gentle Giant in Ferguson or Eric Garner, and the narrative is: racist cops, out of control, targeting young black men, and you run with it. You just assume that's what happened, that's the explanation, and then everything follows from that, every guest, every story, every premise.

Hahahahahahaha!!!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

She would make a better boat anchor.

You know, I always *wondered* where they got the model for Pajama boy:

Cheers!

As Mitt Romney might have said:

"Binders full of *WHAT*??"

[Sirius Lee]

Maybe the use “anchor” was a weight reference?

Correct. An anchor is an incredibly dense object that you throw overboard.

[eyedigress]

I don’t understand why he got so famous. Maybe just a good blow for NBC execs is what it takes.

Idiots all.
