Rachel Maddow Rocks Hard!!!

[Reader]

Maddow,

I hate when you aren't on. I don't care who fills in for you, it bugs the heck out of me that you guys don't post that you'll have a guest host on the show in advance. At least then I would be prepared and be able to decide whether or not to stop what I'm doing to come in to see you.

You're my current dyke pop icon and I'm sorry, but Chris Hayes, Melissa Harris-Perry or whomever, just don't cut it. I can watch any old political pundit at any time.

I choose to stop what I'm doing to watch you because you're a butch dyke political pundit with brains and a progressive mind and a clear, simple way of articulating complex ideas on a major tv channel.

I'm sure the femmes have additional items on their list of reasons for watching you, and I bet they are just as disappointed when you're not on.

Heck, I'd serioulsy rather watch repeats of you on the show than a guest host...unless you can get Barney Frank to sit in. OK, maybe Mariska Hargitay would be acceptable, too, on occasion.

And yet another vacation? WTH?

Kindly work more and vacation less.
