Rachel Maddow

Due diligence requires that I admit to all of you that I am a big Rachel Maddow fan. I listen to her on Air America Radio and I catch her MSNBC show whenever I can. I find Maddow to be quick, bright and entertaining and although I disagree with her liberal views on almost all issues, I have found her arguments for same to be informative and often thought provoking. I view Rachel as the left's answer to the right's contentious Anne Coulter.

The above notwithstanding, Ms. Maddow's MSNBC show the other night during which she attempted to critique President's Bush's farewell speech to the nation, strayed from the arena of respectful political commentary and opinion into a distasteful, venomous and totally disrespectful rant delivered with a smirk about our nation's departing Commander in Chief.

You know her commentary was going to be completely unrestrained as soon as you see the sophomoric banner under a picture of President Bush which states "Goodbye, Good Riddance!"

After watching the video of Maddow's show several times, I still come away with the impression that she is placing the blame for the Muslim terrorist's attack on and destruction of the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan on 9/11 on President Bush.

At the end of the video I was actually waiting for her to blame that afternoon's crash of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson River on President Bush!

Lighten up Rachel...I thought you were better than this. A little less caffeine probably won't hurt either!
