LOL!!!...didja hear what Maddow just said about Palin?

[dixiegrrrrl]

[FSogol]

2. Seriously?

[Andy823]

4. Interesting

She must have said something bad about Bernie and got thrown under the bus. That happens a lot round here.

[FSogol]

9. Except in this example, Maddow is getting attacked for ripping Palin.

DU keeps getting more bizarre every day.

[steve2470]

12. yea, that was bizarre indeed nt

[tishaLA]

16. sometimes I swear it has to be parody

[steve2470]

17. yes, in this case it appears not to be...

unless he's/she's really pushing it to the limit. See his/her reply to me.

[Andy823]

13. Yep

Everyday is a new experience in bizarre here, and it seems to be getting worse, not better.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. Yeah, curious isn't it?

Someone broke character.

[bjobotts]

29. But Trump is "honored" to have Palin's support

Might make her part of his cabinet. "I'll have to think about it"- Trump. According to Trump he will spend his first term thinking hard about everything. Trump was such a phony with goo-goo eyes goobering over this loser. A real gag moment.

[ashling]

75. Palin Cabinet job

It would be just right for her:

Nobody finishes a cabinet job - they all quit after a couple of years.

Quitting is right up her alley.

[Matariki]

10. I don't think so.

[Metric System]

11. Cross Bernie and his supporters at your Facebook's peril.

[bjobotts]

30. It's the season. same could be said with Clinton

[JI7]

3. WTF

[steve2470]

5. ok you just jumped the shark there, buckaroo nt

[onecaliberal]

6. No, I just told the truth

[steve2470]

7. ok, prove it with links, I'll wait, thanks nt

[SCantiGOP]

19. Can't think if any comment

To this OP.

wow

[steve2470]

20. to onecaliberal you mean ? nt

[SCantiGOP]

21. Yes, sorry

Thanks for the catch. The OP was fun; the first response was beyond bizarre.

[steve2470]

43. no worries, and I agree! nt

[randys1]

51. You wont get any. Rachel never lies, and maybe one out of 200 stories, she

gets a technicality wrong and the next day she will crawl across cut glass to read a retraction or correction.

She is guilty of laying off certain subjects or going to far with them, like what would hurt Koch Bros, etc., but she is the single most honest and professional person doing what she does.

period

[steve2470]

52. oh I agree 100%

Of course he hasn't been back to answer me. Revealing.

[pinboy3niner]

64. Are you forgetting she doubled down after the infamous 'boat jail' moment? :)

Early on, she did a report aboard a Navy ship in which she referred to the ship's "boat jail." After hearing from tons of watchers telling her it's called the brig, she covered it humorously in her next show, with a bunch of her staff agreeing with her, in turn, that it's a boat jail.

[randys1]

66. I hope you are kidding

[countryjake]

72. Bwahahaha! Definition "Brig": boat jail. Period.

Many many years ago, I had a boyfriend who was Navy and he and his gang of pirates reveled in telling stories of their times in the brig during the war. Their very own definition of such places was slightly different from Rachel's in their high seas tales, calling it the ship jail for ignorant civilians like me, but the descriptions were colorful (and quite shiny...polishing steel floors and such).

[LanternWaste]

49. You're confusing "truth" and "allegation."

You're confusing "truth" and "allegation."

[Matariki]

8. boo!

you are way off base

[corkhead]

14. I am disappointed in how her show seems now to have turned into 80% repubuicon horse race

but her coverage of Flint Michigan has kept me from totally writing her off.

[brush]

33. She and the rest of the survivors since that formerly progressive network did a 180 . . .

are all caught between a rock and a hard place.

Maintain your income and lifestyle or stick to your progressive principles and don't broadcast repug crap and quit.

With her credentials, great talent and progressive bona fides she would land on her feet.

It's that simple.

She just hasn't made that decision so it makes one wonder . . . who is she?

[randys1]

53. What should a political show do, cover real horse races? Think about what she covers and why.

[Skittles]

15. LOL

the truth must have REALLY stung you

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. Why? Because she survived the recent purge?

[SummerSnow]

34. Palin lover? lol

[onecaliberal]

45. Who you?!?

[snooper2]

48. you are doing it wrong. reset and try again

[Marty McGraw]

60. In defense to OCL

It's more of what she 'can't' bring up due to where she works. Primarily TPP, Net Neutrality or much about the citizens united decision, unless she wishes to be Schultzed right out the door. It does pose a good deal of disappointment. It is a somewhat lucrative safe position to hold and ends up eventually capturing a good deal of people over time.

But for the stories she does (and) can cover, she really does the hard work and brings out the hard truth to the matter.

[SummerSnow]

73. Of course not, but you sound like one.

[DirkGently]

46. Well that's sort of insane.

Do you have an example of these terrible lies Rachel Maddow is "spinning?"

[bvar22]

50. As much as I love Rachel, she STILL works for a huge Corporation,

and she takes her orders from this Corporation.
There are many stories she is forbidden to cover, and she complies,
though occasionally tip toes close to the edge.

I had to stop watching Rachel and Olberman in 2008 after the Iowa Democratic Primary.
Obama took first, but what was more stunning is that Edwards took a strong 2nd.
In reporting on the Iowa Caucus, Edwards name and stunning 2nd Place was NEVER mentioned
by either Olbermann or Rachel.

They co-ordinated in airbrushing Edwards strong 2nd place Out of the Race.
I have never before witnessed where an hour is spent on the 1st Place Winner, and the 3rd Place Miss Congeniality without ever mentioning the name of the strong 2nd Place contender.
I found it mind boggling at the time,
but thoroughly understand it now.

Even Rachel takes her orders from her Corporate Betters.

[Marty McGraw]

61. Spot on!

I shoulda' read further down on the post but responded similarly in a fashion above. Knowing what is supplying her income I have been less drawn to watching the show only limiting myself to any good topics she has posted on DU.

They are ComCast FFS.

Now if she would ever feel comfortable enough with her savings one day and make a move to FreeSpeech TV I would definitely be more interesting in view what she covers!

[rjsquirrel]

55. Let me guess

You think Thom Hartmann is a model journalist?

NBC is corporate media. It always was. There is no one more progressive on corporate media. She didn't sell out. She took a job.

[bvar22]

70. She took a job,

and as an employee, does what the Boss tells her to do.
If she praises UNIONS too much, or features the Working Class or OWS, she WILL go the way of Phil Donahue and Keith Olberman.

[sarge43]

59. Huh? Care to explain? n/t

[byronius]

67. Uh, so, that's ridiculous.

Really. Unbalanced. Freakishly counter-reality.

Gotta wonder about you now.

[Marty McGraw]

68. it's just because

she is really curtailed an limited about what she can air across the ComCast waves.

[jalan48]

18. Ouch!

[Raster]

22. OUCH!

That is going to leave a mark!

[SoapBox]

24. Snap!

And is still working fast food...part time...at the same place he started at when he started high school.

[IDemo]

25. She's become Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite

[SMC22307]

37. Wooderson.

[snooper2]

47. Damn you beat me to it I was going to post that picture...

"The reason I like the high school girls is every year I get older and they stay the same age!"

[SMC22307]

74. "All right, all right, all right."

(In my best McConaughey drawl. )

[Roland99]

56. How much you wanna bet I can throw this football into Russia from my porch?

[Vogon_Glory]

26. A great put-down of the Wasilla Diva! N/t

A great put-down Of the Wasilla Diva!

BTW Bil Kristol, you sure know how to pick winners!

[Gothmog]

28. Palin is a loser

[bjobotts]

31. A quitter and a hustler

What you get driving through a trailer court holding a hundred dollar bill out the window.

[SummerSnow]

35. and a grifter

[KentuckyWoman]

32. Rachel just made me snort.

and I was drinking hot chocolate.

That wench..... LOL

[rusty quoin]

36. That's funny.

I love Rachel. I have followed her career at Air America. She was pushed to the 6 AM slot to do early news as they experimented on how to do things better there, the problem being, there was nothing wrong with the original line up. It was all about the management.

I miss those days of the first Air America Radio. Left wing radio has never, and I mean never had it so good.

She's now on cable news, and I think that she and Lawerence are awesome.

[Stainless]

38. Rachel is basically a good pundit......but......

MSNBC keeps very tight control on what she is allowed to say and where she can go with her commentary. MSNBC began making a sharp right turn long ago and now there is virtually no substance to their reporting. Their corporate masters control the message and that message is conservative republican corporate dogma. Rachel is in a no win situation if she chooses to stay with the rest of the corporate stooges who whore for MSNBC.

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. Gave up on tv years ago.

I can and do catch specific shows via the websites if it worth viewing.
Have not seen/heard a commercial in ages, it is quite refreshing.

[Marty McGraw]

63. isn't it?!!

Going on 16 years now w/o. So much simpler when it's only On Demand for us. With all the on line listing there is absolutely nothing swaying our attention one way or another other than what we wish to hear about in the world. I do Treasure my Bookmarks!

[CajunBlazer]

39. I wonder how much Trump promised to pay Palin?

Seems to me that after she put the final nail in the coffin of McCain's campaign and quit as Governor of Alaska she has done nothing but grub for money.

[elljay]

40. Wait, Palin graduated high school?

[shadowmayor]

41. Poor Magoo

Magoo er, McCain stood by the Wasilla Chillbilly through thick and thin, never disparaged her one bit. And Trump calls McCain a loser for being shot down and captured. And who does Sarah run to when the lights are shining bright? Straight to shut-the-fuck-up-Donny. Unfrigginbelievable! Shes' completely classless an clueless to the core. Never cared one bit for Magoo, but jeez this has to be a real kick in the balls for him.

[pansypoo53219]

42. the grifter sees money on the table.

[B Calm]

44. Spot on Rachel!

[MariaThinks]

54. or 10 years in the case of the idiot palin

[olddots]

57. I've met people who think Amy Goodman is a sell out

but that has nothing to do with Sarah Palin being a klutz .

[asjr]

62. Absolutely priceless!

[DrDan]

65. Rachel actually said that back in 2009

[Faux pas]

69. lol

[TeamPooka]

71. 3 credits shy of graduation, maybe. nt
