Rachel is Queen. Every time they count the ratings, she rises. Check this out, over on Politico.
MSNBC boasts that Rachel Maddow "de-thrones King," in a network release.
MSNBC's seven-week old "The Rachel Maddow Show" marked a huge milestone, out-rating CNN's "Larry King Live" in just its second month on the air among Adults 25-54, the first time ever MSNBC has out-rated CNN at 9 p.m.
Meanwhile, across the road on Fox News, the daggers are still drawn, amongst the wingnut Rethugs themselves!
Palin backers' counterattack on John MCCain's staff over Sarah Palin's wardrobe flap continues, as Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes, echoing Bill Kristol, demanded today that a McCain staffer step up and take blame for buying Palin the expensive clothes. He blamed a specific, female staffer for the mess.
That link leads to the video, and I actually found it while Keith was laughing about the McCain campaign's inability to get past Wardrobegate. Thanks Fox News!
"The person who went and bought hte clothes and, as I understand it put the clothes on her credit card, went to Saks and Neiman Marcus...the staffer who did that has been a coward," he said, for failing to take responsibility for the distraction, and alllowing Palin to take the hit.
He then said was talking about McCain advisor Nicolle Wallace, who has been a focus of Palin's admirers' ire.
Wallace fired back in an email to me that Barnes is "incorrect" that she charged the clothes to her card, and "incorrect that I went to any stores."
Whose credit card was it? Who the hell cares, just shut the fuck up about it if you really think you have a chance to win this election.
They just don't get it. I know, all too well, that bad press can hurt worse than any real criticism. It is just so sweet to see these idiots destroy themselves... on their own channel!
Almost as sweet as Rachel's ratings. In her honor, all the best pics from flickr. Enjoy!
