Friday, October 31, 2008

Two segments, via Jed. The first begins with a brief news recap before the lead-in to the interview.

Two important faces of the new era in America.

John Evo said...: Rachel has been close to brilliant at her new job and MSNBC was prescient to hire her. Well, maybe not so prescient. They had to stare at Olbermann's success for 2 years before they grew a pair.

Anyway, the point I want to make here is that Rachel probably really helped Barack's campaign - A LOT. While many center-right folks find Keith unbearable (in the way we find Hannity unbearable), Rachel goes down a lot easier. Wow. That was a horrible sentence! But you know what I mean! I think she is not only more low-key than Keith, but actually more intellectual. She notices and brings out some really important subtle distinctions that are missed by others. She could be a game changer in the progressive movement.; 12:20 PM, October 31, 2008
