I find Rachel Maddow incredibly abrasive but I still enjoyed her filling in for Keith when he was out.

I find what Palin is doing to be Orwellian and terrifying.

A reporter from Alaska and moderator of a few of her debates in her campaign for governor was on Fresh Air yesterday. It was interesting hearing from a reporter that has covered her for years versus everyone else that has covered her for 7 years. All in all, he reaffirmed that she's grossly under-qualified, has poor ethics, let her husband help shape policy, and that since she signed on with McCain she has become very partisan. I guess she was well known and respected in Alaska for reaching across the aisle. But now, not so much.
