I don’t believe Rachel Maddow actually exists, it’s just Olbermann with another layer of make-up slathered on.

He has seen better days, like playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Even if she was right on the issues . . . seriously, who could stand watching her?

Hmmmm, looks like her being Obama’s personal butt girl is not getting her any ratings. Just the opposite is happening. She can take solace in the fact that the White House doors are always open to her.

When she leaves some volume to her hair and does her face, she's fine.

When it's flat, and she eschews the make-up artists at the network... not so much.

Wonder if she will change her opinion of abortion if scientist discover that homosexuality is genetic? What will she say when parents have prenatal test that can screen for a homosexual gene? Will she back the abortion crowd then?

Because its coming lady.

Maddow hasn’t changed at all since his show started last year. It must be a mystery to him why his ratings have dropped so.

Maybe he needs to change up the format a little, and emulate Olberman’s show. Olberman’s show hasn’t changed at all, and she has maintained her low ratings at the same level from the start.

And just like Wesley Crusher, he/she/it needs to be put in the photon torpedo tube and sent on her way. As to comparing him/her/it to K.Reeves, puh-leeze! Don’t mess with The Matrix. In my opinion, those so-called movies aren’t movies, they are documentaries.

The first time I saw her, it was hard to tell if she was a boy or a girl. I’m STILL not quite sure.

PMS-NBC is “not really a news station” and that much of the programming is “not really news”.

>>>Maddow hasn’t changed at all since his show started last year. It must be a mystery to him why his ratings have dropped so.

Joy Behar is on opposite Maddow and is bleeding a good portion of her audience away. Maddow tends to be snide and cool, while Behar is loud and nasty. Those that want the red meat turn to Headline News. This isn’t a large audience but it’s enough for Maddow to take a big dive.

Maddow had been declining anyway. Her show is after all just a very slightly classier version of Olbermann’s, hitting the same editorial line with mostly the same guests. Almost a rerun, and who really needs that immediately following the original, but Behar expedites the decline.

btw, calling Maddow “him”, isn’t that on the same level as those who think its hilarious to call Ann Coulter “Mann” Coulter ?

Rachel Mancow makes Helen Thomas look good. Yes, I really said that.

Rachel Mancow makes Helen Thomas look good.

I had never seen Rachel Maddow before -- had no idea who she was, though the name was familiar. She is amazingly androgynous. When she gets out of bed in the morning, she can decide whether strangers she meets that day will think that she is male or female.

Maddow reminds me of this Swedish supermodel, Adina Fohlin:

Unattractive and odd.

Now for something completely different:


Tuesday Weld
