Phallucy


This is a real stretch.  Former MSNBC GM and legal talking head Dan Abrams's media blog Mediaite postulates that MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is the "Glenn Beck of the Left."  Why?  "Sometimes it seems that Rachel Maddow is the Glenn Beck of MSNBC….merely in so far as she is able to explain things simply, engagingly, often with the aid of props!"

She's great at explaining the public option!  With props.  Like a phallic Roto-Rooter?   An accidental colonoscopy. I liked Rachel until she went commando on the air.

NewsBusters Noel Sheppard thought the left eschewed Beck as "the Devil incarnate."  So Beck is Rachel's role model now?

This post is a little harsh, isn't it?

What has Rachel ever done to you?

OK, I know what she'd LIKE to do -- but I can't blame her for that.

I actually like Rachel. Before she got so militant. She's sharp, witty, and fresh. Or was.

This message just in from Rachel to Mary:

"So, you are sayin' there's a chance?"

Okay, gang, I took down the phallic thing you thought I shouldn't have written.

Hmmm.

So those of us who leave comments have power over Marty?

What else could we get her to do?

The mind boggles.

Marty said...

Yeah, you got the power!
