Rachel Maddow is a graduate of Stanford University and recieved a Rhodes Scholarship; in 2001 she earned her Ph.D in Politics from Oxford University. That she is a she, gay and liberal is sufficient reason for the willfully ignorant bigots on the far right to demean her.
I hate to agree with Sally, post #7, but she is both intelligent and informed. She makes a worthy adversary...I'd love to see her have a show with Cheney's daughter.
Wow...the fireworks!
But, once you point to her being a Rhodes Scholar, as though that meant anything, I have to remind you that many such awards are simply for being liberal.
Bill Bradley...Rhodes Scholar...485 verbal SAT score.
"Bill Bradley, the thinking presidential candidate, scored a 485 verbal on his SAT? That's lower than George W. Bush, the allegedly slow-witted presidential candidate. As reported recently in The New Yorker, Bush got an SAT verbal score of 566."

LOL, you forgot to mention President Clinton, another liberal. One wonders why liberals are selected and not conservatives? I suppose one might, if curious, read the profiles of those Americans selected this year. See this link:

I suppose after reading several of the profiles these remarkable young men and women are liberals, I can't imagine anyone of them supporting the ideology of the Tea Party, Ron Paul, the clowns to the right of him or the New Right.
"...you forgot to mention President Clinton..."
Why would any reputable person bring up an individual guilty of duplicity, adultery, lying about adultery, sexual harassment, rape, perjury, obstruction of justice, as though said individual was some sort of paragon?
Next thing, you'll proudly mention Ted Kennedy.
