From the crew cut brigade but she isn't hideous. Otherwise she would not be on TV

It is a showdown made in cable talk heaven, and it will be a staple of "The Rachel Maddow Show," which premiered on MSNBC this week. Maddow, a 35-year-old lesbian and former San Francisco ACT-UP activist, squares off against 69-year-old Pat Buchanan, who in 1992 called for a Republican "cultural war" against gays.
When Maddow heard Buchanan's Republican National Convention speech as a 19-year-old, it left the Castro Valley native in tears and - along with her Bay Area upbringing - inspired her along a life path where she now gets paid to argue with Pat Buchanan. In between, she has unloaded trucks, worked in a jungle-themed espresso bar in San Francisco and served as a Rhodes Scholar. She is perhaps the only person to have worked with both the arch-conservative Buchanan and hip-hop star DJ Chuck D, her former partner on the liberal Air America radio network.
Armed with self-deprecating humor and a impressive intellect, Maddow is the newest marquee commentator on a network that finds itself in the middle of controversy about blurring the line between political commentary and straight reporting. MSNBC said this week that it was removing commentators Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as hosts of its election-night coverage and replacing them with veteran newsman David Gregory. The pair will continue to provide commentary on those broadcasts.
Maddow won't touch the turmoil, saying she doesn't follow media issues. She might be the only TV talk show host who doesn't own a television - she hasn't since she left her folks' house to attend Stanford University.

Everyone has at least one redeeming quality.
Anyone who would listen to this should be quarantined. They suffer from Maddow Disease.
Guilty! This is no lipstick lesbian.
PMSNBC has no class. buchanan must be desperate to want to be associated in any way with that cesspool
Maddow is a freak. She is on the right network.
To quote The Great One, more people watch sonograms than watch this channel.
Whenever the left needs someone to misrepresent the Right and make it look buffoonish, they call on Buchanan and he cheerfully obliges them. I expect his shoes to be filled by Michael Savage when Pat finally “jumps the shark”. It seems to me that one could assure oneself of employment by seeking that role.
Only from the city that espouses perverse public gay lifestyle to tell the rest of us that they have a “star” from a channel mental asylum patients wouldn’t even watch.
Pat Buchanan made her cry? Awwwwwwwww
Only Tammy Bruce is worth a listen...and after we get her over that abortion thing, she's ours. :)
right you are
It's never a bad idea to preach to the sinners.
yitbos

You know you love her..... She could sub for Ellen (what’s her name) when she’s sick
Joe Garofoli, Chronicle Staff Writer
MAKING IT UP AGAIN
The second time with the same distortion.
In a Chron story on 9/6/08 he wrote of: “Pat Buchanan’s 1992 GOP convention call for a “cultural war” “
I posted here on FR the actual Buchanan text which was:
““My friends, this election is about much more than who gets what. It is about who we are. It is about what we believe. It is about what we stand for as Americans. There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we will one day be as was the Cold War itself. And in that struggle for the soul of America, Clinton & Clinton are on the other side, and George Bush is on our side. And so, we have to come home, and stand beside him.”
NOW the hack Garofoli does it again, writing:
“Pat Buchanan, who in 1992 called for a Republican “cultural war” against gays.”
It cannot be overstated how disreputable the Chronicle is in its pervasive liberal bias.
Does MSNBC exist as a business to make money? Or is it used by NBC / GE as some kind of write-off?
As for Maddow herself
No comment!
And Maddow is deemed cable talk’s newest star before she’s even done a show!
Obama should have picked her for VP
Well at least now there’s an anchor ay MSNBC who knows how to satisfy a woman.
She was a member of ACT-UP????? Is that not the radical gay group that storms Catholic Churches and throws condoms and such. Good Grief. And she gets a Rhodes Scholarship for such?? Sad. Sad.
