Rachel is amazing. She has always BEEN amazing, even when she was on Air America. I'm glad she was able to escape that sinking ship and find a voice on the video tubes.
I also like to think she'd be the best drinking buddy ever.
Rachel Maddow is easily, EASILY, in my top ten for hypothetical drinking buddies. The fact that I'd be drunkenly trying to impress her while she manifestly does NOT give a shit would make it even more fun. For both of us.
I would love to go to a cocktail party hosted by Rachel Maddow, she could probably make anything I ask for and serve it in the proper glass with the proper garnish.
