Rachel Maddow

MANIFESTO

I had a chance to talk to a number of very progressive friends over the weekend, and one of the conversations had to do with Rachel Maddow. Now, I realize Ms. Maddow is a media star right now, but I really didn't quite understand her appeal. The friend indicated it was due to Maddow's sense of humor.

I have to admit I've watched only about ten minutes of Maddow's MSNBC program and, to be sure, was impressed. In my short viewing span, I didn't realize it was her ironical sense that was winning her so many viewers. When next I get a chance, I'll try to hone in on it more.
