Who Can Turn the World On With Her Smile?

And, Dana and Dahlia, even as a non-cable news-watching Luddite, I'm thrilled for Rachel Maddow's new gig. That Nation piece was the first time in months that I read a magazine profile on a major news commentator--and there has been a recent obsession, no?--that didn't make me think for a few moments that I was reading the same article on the same egomaniacal white guy who thinks none of the other egomaniacal white guys on TV take him seriously enough as the cultural force that he surely is. (That last bit might also explain why I don't watch cable news). No one will accuse Rachel Maddow of being Ted Baxter, that's for sure.
