looks like Maddow just can’t live with a Palin-free month

Sarah made a joke at least it would stop the MEdia from blaming her for Egypt- guess again

Were it not for FR reporting Maddow's goofiness, she'd have almost no audience at all. She owes Free Republic big time!!

It isn’t amazing. Madcow is a mad cow and suffers from PDS, a form of mad cow disease.

Wow, leftist anti-Christianist Rachel Maddow gets punked by a leftist anti-Christianist satire site. Who says God doesn’t have a flair for irony?
