1. Thanks Professor .. Her comfort with who she is ... is her power. It' great to watch!

[Karenina]

2. I LOVE RACHEL!!!

[Cha]

3. I caught some of her on

Leno's the other night and she was sticking up for Obama and the Recovery Plan..It was great to see her doing that.

4. must confess I am a Rachel addict

I've been in love with her brain for a long time...but rarely do I get the pleasure of seeing BIG BRAIN dismantle poor Survivor contestant's small brain and parroted talking points.

And all with such grace. She barely has to exhale and the other person looks like a moron.

Poujadism is going down and taking the GOP with it:-)

5. Cute, how Elizabeth Hasselbeck dared to step in the ring with Rachel on politics.

Notice how Barbara Walters cut that short before Hasselbeck had a chance to embarrass herself.

That was an enjoyable clip. Thanks for posting it.

6. Wow. A lot of personal questions

were asked. Rachel was a good sport about it, but I'm not sure why most of the interview was about her sexuality.

[Bette Noir]

9. Because she's cute, and we all have secret crushes on her.

"Looks like a man"? Hardly.

[Hekate]

7. That was great, and I love Whoopi. And Baba went back to her journalistic roots...

Good on them all.

Thanks for posting :)

Rachel's a doll.

10. Thanks for posting. I like seeing Rachel out of her TV role.

I've always liked her as a commentator, and as a fan I like to see other facets of her.

11. Barbara Walters has given that show so much intergrity.

I remember watching one of the first presidential roasts after Dumbya was elected, the one where he showed a family slide show, I think it was the one where he made the joke about not finding weapons of WMD under the Oval Office desk, and all the reporters were yukking it up over his comedy routine. Out of the whole room, Walters was the only one who looked disgusted and ashamed to be there.

Great interview. Thanks for posting!

12. Rachel does not look like a man...

My wife and I both love her! She is such a breath of fresh air and very funny!

[KatyaR]

13. Oh, she was AWESOME!

How wonderful was it to see an intelligent conversation about being gay without having someone run screaming from the room with their hair on fire? It's too bad they couldn't have talked to her longer--I think she's fascinating to listen to, no matter what she's talking about. (Isn't that the definition of a crush? LOL)

She's absolutely at the top of my fantasy dinner guest list--wouldn't it be great to have her sitting in your living room, making cocktails and conversation? (sigh . . . .) :loveya:

14. K & R. I missed this earlier somehow. n/t

15. I loves me some Rachel!

[bdamomma]

16. I really admire Rachel, she is very good at what she does.

17. Many gays should take notes. I love Rachel so much. She reminds me of a favorite cousin.
