Rachel Maddow - The One to Watch!!!

I just recently started to partake in weeknight viewings of The Rachel Maddow Show and boy, am I ever glad! She is such a breath of fresh air and a true compliment to the band of professional pundits over at MSNBC. Her ability to infuse humor along with common-sense dialogue makes her news show a must-see!

Case in point - her coverage of the issue involving Obama's choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his swearing-in. If you haven't see the video clip, you really should. Rachel brings out the absurdity of Rick's claims that he is not the man that the media makes him out to be - and she does it with ease.

On New Year's Eve, Rachel presented the first annual "Denial Isn't Just a River in Egypt" awards. The nominees were: Alaska senator Ted Stevens, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (no big surprise there), VP Dick Cheney and Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren. You'll be surprised at who actually won. To accept the prize, Rachel called upon Queer as Folk alum Hal Sparks. When watching the video clip, try not to be too horrified with Hal's new hair style.

The Rachel Maddow Show airs weeknights at 9pm EST on MSNBC.
