Rachel Maddow Sniffs in Disdain at Belief in America as 'Shining' City

Thanks for sharing, Rachel, and confirming what we already knew. The oh-so bright light in MSNBC's nightly firmament could barely contain her revulsion after Indiana Gov.

Maddow 'Very Flattered' By GOP Ad Nailing Her as Hypocrite on Keystone

Agreed, the (apparent) wig worn by the woman in that GOP parody bore little resemblance to Rachel Maddow's actual hair. But the parody's skewering of Maddow's hypocrisy was right on target. MSNBC's ever-chirpy Maddow responded last night to a National Republican Congressional Committee ad mocking the MSNBC "Lean Forward" promo featuring a hardhat-adorned Maddow at the Hoover Dam.

Maddow Corrects Bogus Claim, Parrots Another

MSNBC resident Victorian gent Rachel Maddow must have felt so dutiful for correcting an inaccurate statement by one of her guests. Which made it all the more amusing that Maddow during the same show perpetuated a hoary media myth created two decades ago. (video after page break)

Matthews Accuses GOP Strategist on MSNBC Primary Coverage Panel of Bei

Ratigan's Manic Rant to Maddow: Capitalism is Making Me Fat

That wasn't a television appearance, that was a cry for help. Dylan Ratigan was a guest on MSNBC colleague Rachel Maddow's show last night, ostensibly to plug his new book, "Greedy Bastards!

Eugene Robinson Grudgingly Laments His Glib Dismissal of Santorum's Re

This is what passes for a liberal coming clean. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson doesn't regret disparaging how former senator Rick Santorum and his wife handled the death of their infant son in 1996. Robinson just wishes he'd been more clever about it. (video clip after page break).

Chris Hayes Equates Gingrich Worker Committing Voter Fraud With 70 ACO

Not just fuzzy math, shabby too. Chris Hayes, guest hosting on "The Rachel Maddow Show" Thursday, opened a segment with the words, "From the Department of Shameless Schadenfraude." Department of Feeble Attempts at Moral Equivalence would be more accurate. (video after page break)

Wrong Again, Maddow - Ohio Law Doesn't 'Kill' Early Voting

Those working at MSNBC probably believe they are providing a valuable public service. The network might actually have a chance of doing that if its executives hired an ombudsdman.

We Have a Winner! Most Inane 'Human Mic' Footage Yet, Courtesy of Rach

A much-trumpeted "innovation" from Occupy footstompers is the so-called "human mic" whereby people in a crowd parrot the words of a designated non-leader to amplify his or her message. Examples of this creepy phenomenon abound, including this one helpfully provided by Occupy cultist Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show last night (video clip after page break) --
