via Rachel Maddow On “Daily Show”: “Insulted,” “Embarrassed” By Bush, MSNBC Compared To Munsters.
Rachel Maddow appeared on “The Daily Show” Wednesday night, where she and Jon Stewart discussed the MSNBC family, President-Elect Obama’s policy knowledge, and George Bush’s Blair House snub of the incoming First Family.
You gotta love her. She is soooooo Americana with her whip-crack intelligence, geeky glasses, sweet personality, yet underneath the surface she is someone with gravitas, someone to debate with much caution. Watch out for that steel-trap brain of hers.
The two then discussed Maddow’s debates with Pat Buchanan (Grandpa Munster in Stewart’s analogy) and her interviews with Barack Obama, who she described as “a policy dork.”
“I don’t necessarily agree with him on everything on policy, but I want him to care,” she said of the President-Elect, adding that Bill Clinton’s policy-obsession was one of his most endearing traits as President.
“I know this is a small thing,” Maddow then said, “but I’m insulted as an American, and a little bit embarrassed as an American, that a guy whose salary I pay, President Bush, has decided that the First Family can’t stay in the Presidential guest house.”
It is time that we all complained about the current president being sophomoric, petty, and a snot.

The idea that your elderly loved ones (and I’m no spring chicken myself) would sit in front of a panel of judges and defend themselves about the cost of their health care, and ultimately life or death, is so totally obscene I don’t know where to start.
First of all, this concept of a death panel is entirely contrived by fear mongers and propelled by ignorant astroturfers. If you haven’t caught the Rachel Maddow show nightly this past week, then you have some catching up to do. Rachel has pulled back the curtain and has shined ultra-intense-halogen spotlights on the cockroaches holding the puppet strings. The fear mongers she exposes are shoveling out the drivel, and the right-wing-birthers-deathers-mouthbreathing-Obama-is-a-whatever crowd propels the lies. Kudos to Rachel for real journalism.
The fear mongers are outrageously saying that these “death panels” will make decisions on the euthanasia of the elderly! The idea is dumbfounding! It’s stupefying and brain numbing!
These guys who organized this nonsense should be driven into exile!
