Beck also makes 10 times as much as Maddow, I guess that means he's 10 times smarter and 10 times more correct right?

Usually analogies like "lots of dummies like NASCAR and McDonald's too" begin when you say that.

Must be nice for Maddowites to have their cake and eat it too. Or at least feel like they can.

Of course you would think the ONLY possible reason to hate her is because she's smart (debatable) or gay (could care less). Calling her a guy is now a homophobic dig? Guess what - she looks like a guy.

Lefties just don't get it. They don't understand that it's not all about what they are, but what they believe in. And since her views are pretty much hard core left, that's reason enough to dislike her. And think she has no place on the news, since her partisan colors shine through every time she opens her mouth.

Oddly, you think it's perfectly okay to jump on the bandwagon of slamming someone you don't personally know

You're delusions of righteousness and your partisan hack dispostion, are monumental.

And pure comedy

And with all your self-proclaimed higher education and intelligence, you seem to have over-looked the post where I actually stated I don't agree with Rachel on a lot of things. it's right here in this thread. Go ahead, let's see if your so-called " higher education helps you find it, lol.

Underwater Basketweaving is a lot more complicated and intricate, than you think.

Certainly more complicated and intricate than your degree in Partisan Sock Puppet.

All hilarious.

I'm sure Maddow does it well.

I would never consider a degree in political science. You take that back.

Irrelevent to the context being discussed and that I was responding. You may want to brush up on your own degree, first.

Getting "duped" does not make one stupid and as Maddow said...
"...conservatives – especially Glenn Beck – are saying all kinds of crazy things. As a result, it’s become difficult for her to know what’s real and what’s a spoof."

She's correct. The right and their talking heads are nitwits and naturally satirical.

BTW...Apologizing for a mistake shows integrity, doesn't it? You have failed to prove Maddow being anything but smart and having integrity. Is this the best that you can do to support your claims???

The only panty in a wad, is yours.

You're apparently oblivious to the fact that you're attacking and criticizing a person for the level of education degrees they have and you yourself, fall significantly short in even coming close to matching her degree.

There's great comedy in that.

No one has to speculate on the level of education you received; after reading this type of comedy.

Seriously, you couldn't possibly make it easier for me
