Okay, we'll take it as a given, Trump supporters, that you loathe Maddow and will insult her any way you can - which is tough, because she's pretty good at what she does, especially the way she cites sources to back up her statements. You needn't bother taking up space with the obvious attacks.

But Maddow fans will like this. I knew she was smart, but I didn't know that she was a Rhodes scholar.

Unabomber was "smart."

I knew she was. I used to listen to her on an Air America radio show she had years ago. She had a way of educating and providing background history for the various topics that would make a drive from Seattle to Portland fly by. We saw this during the Japan tsunami too when she went into depth each night about the nuclear reactor rods, how they're built and what the damage meant.

Yeah, I knew someone would bring that up. It's discussed in the article, if you read it. She wasn't wrong, you know. It just wasn't as sensational as people hoped, but I think it's still the closest look anyone has had at an actual Trump tax return, isn't it?

I enjoyed her crybaby rant after Trump won. Otherwise, she's a mean and hateful person (like most libs).

"Mean and hateful?" You only say that because she has a depth that is based on factual information and the ability to put it together so people can understand complicated issues that often make Trumpettes look like kindergartners playing in the sand.
