Rachel Maddow Rocks Hard!!!

Reader · 08-16-2011, 10:44 PM

I like Maddow a lot. But, what's up with making alcoholic beverages on tv? I mean, the first time I thought it was amusing. Now it is just old, and it makes me think she is a big drinker...which I don't particularly like. I don't think it reflects well on her.

I respect her brain so much, she's a PhD, she's the first openly gay Rhodes scholar, etc., etc. But, dang Maddow, quit with the booze on tv. I don't care what you do in your personal life, but I think it sends a bad message to be mixing cocktails on your show.

I still love the show!

I rather liked the orange jump suit tonight.

Nat · 08-19-2011, 10:53 PM

I heart her.

I love Rachel Maddow in all her fabulousness. She looks stunningly hot in her business suits, even hotter in her jeans and Chucks with her hipster glasses, and she's got the sexiest brain on TV. And I love the cocktail segments. We went out and got all the ingredients to make mojitos last weekend because she taught me how to make them. I love people who, like me, are concerned with doing things right.

Has anybody noticed that she pronounces the end of her last name "oh" like "meadow" and that most everybody else pronounces it madd-ow (rhymes with cow)?

Yep! She sure does.

I like Maddow because she loves dogs, is very curious about all sorts of things, is humble, is smart and well-educated and she cracks me up with all of the faces she makes.

I get such a kick when she jumps out of her chair and runs around and you see that she is really wearing her beat up jeans, the big butch leather belt and sneakers but on top she has her "work" tv jacket on.

And she is so polite to guests even when she clearly disagrees with them. I get the feeling that she could cut anyone to ribbons with her knowledge of the facts, her debating skill and her intelligence, but that she doesn't because she is too well-mannered to do so to someone she has on as a guest.

I like when she tosses in occasional remarks about her parents or Susan or her dog. She hasn't let her success go to her head and I admire that.

PS-Ever notice what long fingers she has? (I will leave that alone, but it's true!)

Her love of classic cocktails is one of her more endearing qualities for me. I love watching videos of her on YouTube where she mixes drinks. She clearly has a love of the lore around cocktails and their origins, and the butch can mix a mean cocktail. *swoon*

To each his/her own, I guess.

You know what, I never looked at it that way. Thanks for posting that. Maybe I need to reframe and rethink those segments.

Grazie!

Because you mentioned her fingers...

I am absolutely obsessed with her fingers in this video. Plus, she's just so nerdy and hot. *longing sigh*

Ugh, what am I doing wrong with youTube videos?

OK, you all have convinced me that I should not think the booze segments are a bad influence. She really does seem like a connoisseur! And she looks like a natch behind the bar, too.

Rachel Maddow is awesome and hot!

Actually, I don't like her. Some of her views I disagree with rather strongly.
