Wait, she's a Lesbian? Oh man, this post breaks my heart. I've got such a hetero crush on her.

[SFkid]

Eh, never heard of him. Rachel's a cutie...

[VOTER]

Well said.

Our media is truly being run by a bunch of 5th graders.

Just reinforces why i would never watch FOX News or listen to its radio.

Who is Gibson? A FOX guy?

Is this idiot a Rhodes Scholar? Didn't think so.

[oberon123]

John Gibson is a Rhodes scholar? Is it kind of like the way Dubya has an MBA from Harvard? Another glorious example of how inbreeding is destroying America.

[lainey]

Rachel Maddow is a Rhodes Scholar, not Gibson. She is a bright and interesting person. She is a voice of reason and candor and can really hold her own during these discussions. I applaud her ability to stick to the issues. I am sorry that she had to endure such mean-spiritedness; she doesn't deserve this, nor does anyone.

Rachel is the Rhodes Scholar!

[iBgood]

john gibson is a hideous right wing tool and as ugly as hell.

Is there anyone on Faux News that IS intelligent or good looking?

[Durango]

It never occurred tome, not for a minute to wonder about Rachel Maddow's sexual orientation.

And I am seriously pissed off that anyone, but especially that dipshit John Gibson would ever, under any circumstances, bring it up.

It is none of my business. It is none of Gibsons business. It is none of your business.

[bikerdude]

I really agree with Durango. It is none of our business. When it becomes necessary for any of us to know her sexual orientation, I am sure she will tell us. Besides, I don't believe she has ever hid her orientation and I have never heard her discuss it.
It has no bearing on how she does her job. She is the consumate professional and excellent as a commentator and interviewer.

She's pretty up front about her girlfriend, Susan, on her radio show. I like the way she handles the topic, by basically not considering it to BE a particularly important issue. She has a great manner and fabulous analytical skills.

The other thing I like about her show is that I learn something new about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan every single day. I get more information from her on the war than from anywhere else.

Rachel Maddow: Thoughtful, articulate, engaging, winsome - and to borrow Bob Cesca's description: "Brilliant­."

John Gibson: Sadly yet another talking head who comes to the battle of wits unarmed.

I love Rachel Maddow, since discovering her on MSNBC a few months ago I have been taken by her intelligence and integrity. As a middle aged heterosexual woman I am proud to say that I have a girl crush on Rachel. LOVE HER
