This Is the Moment Rachel Maddow Has Been Waiting For

Recently, I went to dinner at the home of Rebecca Kee, a preschool principal in San Francisco who turned to Maddow in her depression and confusion over the 2016 election. I brought a bottle of rosé, and she poured it into glasses decorated with charms that featured Russia-investigation figures on one side and characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation on the other. I sipped from the Hope Hicks/Beverly Crusher glass, and we watched Maddows show over veggie enchiladas. I think of her as a news doula: You know the news is going to be painful no matter what, so we might as well have someone who helps us survive it, Kee told me. Last year, Kee had a Maddow-themed birthday party, at which her friends and her two young sons put on big black glasses and slicked their hair to the side. Also in attendance was a life-size cardboard cutout of Maddow, which is now in storage so as not to startle guests.

After Rebecca Kee bought her Maddow cardboard cutout, she got a Robert Mueller one, too. For a time she would sit him in her front window, posing him near speech bubbles that she wrote herself. But after the real Mueller filed his report and failed to step into the role she had imagined for him, she tucked him away in the closet with Maddow. Now her car is decorated with Elizabeth Warren bumper stickers.

Who is this guy?
Whenever I am invited to my sister's for dinner, she always has Maddow on the kitchen TV. It amazes me that anyone takes this loon seriously. But apparently some do.

After hysterically pushing all the Russian nonsense, Maddow still hasn’t recovered in the ratings.

To: Rummyfan; All
Maddow does not administer beat-downs or deliver epic rants. She is not a master of the sound bite. Instead, she carries her viewers along on a wave of verbiage, delivering baroque soliloquies about the Russian state, Trump-administration corruption and American political history. Her shows mantra is increasing the amount of useful information in the world, though the people who watch it do not exactly turn to it out of a need for more information. They already read the papers and scroll through Twitter all day. What Maddow provides is the exciting rush of chasing a set of facts until a sane vision of the world finally comes into focus.Turning to Rachel Maddow to make sanity of an insane world.... OHMYF***INGGAWD!

Now her car is decorated with Elizabeth Warren bumper stickers.On a ten hour drive, Washington state to Oregon and back, only saw two campaign bumper stickers. One on a Prius, and the other on a Smart car. Unsurprisingly, they were both for Warren.
