Media Alert: Rachel Maddow Show Tonight

I just taped a fun yet serious segment with Rachel Maddow a few moments ago on McCain's Sarah Palin-like failure to vet "Joe the Plumber".

It should be on her show on the Air America network tonight.

Great to hear that you're part of her new show line up. She is starting to find her feet and is a nice fit for the " I can't get enough satire" crowd.
Thanks also for a great site to feel the pulse of the real Washington thought leaders, including yourself. Even if I cringe when you lean to the right every once in awhile.

Great job on TRMS!

I've had questions about the vetting process for Gov. Palin and I enjoyed hearing you and Rachel discuss it on her show.

Is it at all possible to get more info on her vetting? How much background checking did they do? What were their concerns about Troopergate and Todd Palin's ties to the Alaska Independence Party? And how was the decision was made to go with her for McCain's VP choice(the why is self explanatory)?

Thanks,

Andre

Rachel,
This week McCain and Palin have tried to make it sound like Obabma tax plan is socialism. They always wave flags, and their sign logo is Country First. I think some should remake them to give the right message of what they represent. Country Club
First. I hope you will consider it.

Rachael,

Just wanted to alert you that at a call center in Hobart, Indiana, a 20 year girl raised an objection to the Robocalls that the McCain Palin campaign was putting out. The message was that Obama would not protect your children, and afew other sinister messages that were just plain deformation of character and not true. The company was AmericaCall is all I remember but after she objected 40 other employees walked off the job. I wish I had keep the link to send to you so you could have your staffers review the accuracy.

It may be worth following up if you have an interest.

The Republicans are in trouble and if they cannot cheat to get in that cannot win.

Thanks for the telling the news openly.

EVERYTHING RACHEL OBERMAN SAYS ON HER SHOW ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS IS A LIE!!! SHE IS ALWAYS SLANDERING THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND VP CANDIDATE. I ONLY WISH PRESIDENT MCCAIN WAS NOT THE GENTLEMAN HE IS AND CALL RACHEL OBERMAN ON HER LIES. MSNBC IS A COMMUNIST ANTI AMERICAN SLANDER HOLE. I AM NOT A FOX FAN, BUT ATLEAST THEY GIVE THE OTHER SIDE THE CHANCE TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS, BUT NOT MSNBC. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THE DEMONCRAP PARTY BEING FOOLED BY OBAMA BIN LADEN AND HIS IDOT VP JOE OBIDEN BIN LADEN JR.
I DARE YOU TO PRINT THIS!
