Pinko Magazine Hedonism + Activism

My pretend girlfriend, Rachael Maddow, is going to get her own show on MSNBC! She will be replacing Dan Abrams, the hot yet kinda weird lawyer guy who spits when he talks, in the 9pm, post Olbermann slot.

I first fell in love with Rachael Maddow when she co-hosted Unfiltered on Air America Radio along with Chuck D and Lizz Winstead. More recently she has been the go-to pinch hitter for Olbermann as well as being a regular guest on his show.

To my knowledge this is the first time an out-and-proud lesbian has anchored a major cable news show that doesn’t involve Suse Orman in any capacity. It’s also significant because, unlike Keith Olbermann who’s background is in sports broadcasting, Maddow is a no-joke progressive activist.

Having Racheal Maddow anchor a news show, in the 9pm timeslot, during the run up to a major election, shows just how committed MSNBC is to becoming “the liberal Fox News”. While that might not sound like a good thing to some, I’m very very excited.
