1. Is she better than Franken?

I say "Yes!"

[DefenseLawyer]

10. Better than Rhodes

Just as passionate and informed but smarter and less shrill. But that is just my own person taste.

[PA Democrat]

2. Rachel Maddow is great!

I even out up with Bow Tie Boy's inane show to watch Rachel. She is smart, well-informed and has a sense of humor to boot.

3. In defense... Franken is a comedy writer, performer, and future

Senator - but not a professional radio person - yet.

6. True - which means he is also not particuarly informative.

He constantly steps on good info in order to get a laugh. Drives me crazy because even though he has on well-informed folks he constantly diminishes the message.

9. gawd forbid he takes any phone calls

the king must not be annoyed by the commoner

[Totally Committed]

4. I agree!

her show today has been outstanding!

I am not thrilled most days with Franken (less and less so these days, actually), but I love Rachael Maddow.

5. Several threads going on here about that - but it does need to

be repeated. She is doing a fantastic job of connecting all the dots. One of the issues she addressed earlier is that the National Guard is supposed to be under joint control of the state Governors and the President and since Bush came into office the administration does not even consult with the Governors. They are using our "national" guard like the regular army.

I have been wondering how much each citizen contributes to our local guard through our state taxes, or is the guard federally funded. Somehow I doubt it.

7. I LOVE Rachel Maddow

Unfortunately, my on line stream keeps fading out. But what I heard on and off was GREAT! It's very frustrating when you're really into a topic and then it's gone...AAAARGH.

8. she is great!

franken oughta leave AAR and go run for the senate so I can listen to her when I get into work.

Funny...I came to AAR for Al, but I stay for randi, malloy, and now maddow!

[Talismom]

11. That just shows your good taste! The hosts you mentioned are real seasoned

radio professionals. Maddow for less time than the other two, but she is incredibly bright and blessed with the most gorgeous voice on radio!
