NORTHAMPTON, Mass. Rachel Maddow, a political analyst and media host who rose to national prominence after launching her career on local radio, will be the speaker at Smith Colleges 132nd commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 16, at 10 a.m. in the campus Quadrangle. Maddow and four other accomplished women will receive honorary degrees prior to the address.
On her national television program, Maddow daily analyzes top headlines from the worlds of politics, current events, sports, science, health, crime and the absurd. Her critically acclaimed program, titled The Rachel Maddow Show, airs on MSNBC. Her interviews with newsmakers have been described as spotlighting the headlines, and the politics behind the headlines.
About a year after launching her MSNBC show in April 2008, Maddow was nominated for the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information. She was also recently included in the list of openly gay media professionals in The Advocates Forty under 40 and received a Gracie Award from the American Women in Radio and Television.
A contest launched Maddows career in 2004. As the winner of a challenge for a new on-air personality in Holyoke, Mass., she addressed listeners for the first time. Meeting with success at the local level, she soon joined the newly created Air America and, a year later, MSNBC.
Maddow earned a degree in public policy from Stanford University in 1994, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, and earned a doctor of philosophy degree from Oxford University.
Political Analyst?

Guilty. Guilty on all counts. Guilty of crimes which haven’t been charged against her. Guilty of crimes that aren’t even on the books. Ugh....
