thoughts from an empty head

OK, there are two reasons I will miss my TV. One is Keith Olbermann. The other is Rachel Maddow.

I love interviews like these for many reasons.

* Maddow has no qualms about having conservatives on her show. I’ve seen her hold her own against Pat Buchanan, which is a graduate-level course in debate in and of itself.

* Maddow is an adult. The interview above is priceless in displaying this, as Frum manages to have a grown-up conversation up until the end, when he suddenly drops into wingnut mode and starts throwing insults Maddow’s way. Maddow shuts him down quick, fast and in a hurry, and does so with a maturity that puts him in check but good. Debate the issues with her if you like, but can that CROSSFIRE-style BS in her studio.

I am eternally grateful for MSNBC finally putting her clips on the net.
