She does a nice job, very snarky.
I love the disgusted look that she often uses when heading to commercial after reading something disturbing.

I like Maddow, but I like Abrams too. Where is he going?
EDIT -
Mr. Abrams, who is well liked at MSNBC, is expected to remain at both that network and at NBC News, where he is the chief legal correspondent. He will also serve as an anchor during some of MSNBC's daytime coverage, as well as a substitute host on NBC's "Today" show, Mr. Griffin said.

I'm really happy that the chick who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek is back on TV.

^^ And I'm really happy that I'm not the only one here who knows who Wesley Crusher is.

This is really sophomoric.
I just looked up who that is.
Well played!

A graduate of Castro Valley High School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_Valley_High_School) in Castro Valley, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_Valley,_California), Maddow later obtained a degree in public policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_policy) from Stanford University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University) in 1994. She then received a Rhodes Scholarship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes_Scholarships#Notable_Rhodes_Scholarship_rec ipients) in 1995 and used it to obtain a Dr.Phil. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.Phil.) in political science from Lincoln College (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_College,_Oxford), Oxford University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Oxford).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Maddow#cite_note-chief-1) Her political activism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activism) has focused on AIDS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS) and prisoners' rights, especially the prevention of the spread of HIV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV) and AIDS in prisons. She is an outspoken advocate for gay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay) and progressive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism) issues.
So, she was on Air America, she's a Lesbian, looks like one of the dudes from High School Musical....AND....AND she's a Rhodes Scholar.
I'm just waiting for one of her guests to ask her "Do you like... pie".
Also If Olbermann digs her that's good enough for me.
