Well, I've got to say, I was surprised and impressed at her good behavior right up until the only snide remark at the end. Can't say as I blame her; I say the same thing at the end of O'Reilly (self promoting piece o' crap). I was impressed. The OP made it sound like a battle royal but was right "This is by far one of her best nights". But she still had a pinhead in the chair.
I did, lol ? Were you expecting Rachel to yell and throw insults like Bill O'Reilly or Michael Savage? If you watched Rachel normally like I do, you would know that she never uses those type of tactics (and doesn't need to) and will usually give her guest who maybe on the opposite end of the political spectrum to clarify their position. The way she "battles" people like this is hitting them with hard facts and giving them enough rope to hang themselves, just like she did last night with this guy.

Actually I find her quite passionate but peppering her passion with sarcasm, condecension, and smarmy retorts. I have watched her and don't enjoy her. Actually, I don't like any of them. Well, I do tolerate Hannity & Colmes (miss him). I'd rather watch/listen to the BBC for news than to watch sarcasm on Fox, MSNBC, et al. Sort of like what passes here for debate ("Bet they watch Fox fro the news" and lke that)
I agree. Ms. Maddow was exceptionally professional during this interview.
I was quite impressed with her ability to maintain her composure during his Stepford-like dissembling.
She did indeed, rock that interview. Just a small correction, though; it's Dr. Maddow. And she his highly credentialed in the field of politics.
A graduate of Castro Valley High School in Castro Valley, Maddow earned a degree in public policy from Stanford University in 1994.[12] At graduation she was awarded the John Gardner Fellowship. She was also the recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford. In 2001, she completed her Doctor of Philosophy degree (styled a DPhil) in politics from Oxford University.
And Dr. Maddow has one of the best investigative research teams of any news organization. She and her staff dig so deep into stories that they expose buried maggots no one ever thought would see the light of day.

You're confusing her stump time with her interviewing. Big difference. She certainly can show her own bias during her stumps...But she is an excellent interviewer. Who as you can see is quite fair and respectful. Her interviews are very much like what you saw today. And no one else does their homework more thoroughly than does Rachel Maddow.

I have to take issue here. Alan Colmes was nothing more than a patsy for Hannity.
Hannity is a terrible interviewer. Talk about condescending and arrogant...
It might not be funny but neither is a train wreck. I t would be an interesting dynamic though, I wonder if Chaz has got his man voice yet? think about it they would have all the bases covered, 2 women , one women and one, ahem... guy, and 2 guys, is Maddow the boy or the girl in her deal?

I can tell you're following the story about Chaz Bono quite closely. Are you thinking of having a similar surgery?
