    Gay for Rachel

    Rachel MaddowDahlia, I'm also psyched at Rachel Maddow's ascension to the sweet spot at MSNBC, right after Keith Olbermann's top-rated 8 p.m. show. I love that Maddow is not just a non-Barbie doll; she's a 35-year-old out lesbian, with short-cropped hair and a straightforwardly dykey self-presentation (well, dykey for television; MSNBC does load on the mascara and lip gloss, as if anxious to remind viewers that she's still a woman.) The Nation profile you link to hints at an oddball sense of humor that makes me eager for her show's debut on Sept 8. Will she host a special segment on "the evil child-actor twins that run Poland"?
