Sorry, Harvard Students: Rachel Maddow Is Still Not Running For Senator

» 76 comments

Rachel Maddow In March, Senator Scott Brown sent his supporters a fund-raising email that claimed MSNBC star Rachel Maddow was planning a Senate run. Maddow responded by taking out a full-page ad in the Boston Globe to confirm that she wasn’t planning to run, then called Brown a liar on air. Somehow, though, the rumor of Maddow’s candidacy still hasn’t died.

Natalie Sherman of the Boston Herald writes that when Maddow delivered the 2010 Theodore H. White address on political journalism at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government last night, the crowd “was positively salivating at the prospect of a Maddow run.” Indeed, according to Sherman, students repeatedly asked Maddow whether she would seek office, or tried to goad her into saying she would, but to no avail:

One starry-eyed college student wanted to know what made her switch from politics to news, and from which is she better-placed to change the world?

“I stopped trying to change the world on March 9, 2007,” Maddow said, citing the day when she stopped her work as an activist and started at Air America, the liberal radio station.

“You say you’re no longer an activist, but aren’t you?” persisted one law student.

“No,” Maddow said.

“You have confirmed over and over again that you’re not going to run for office, and we don’t have the privilege to elect you,” bemoaned another student.

“I’m real happy with my job,” Maddow insisted.

So there you have it: Maddow is happy where she is. Even so, we bet people will continue to speculate about whether or not she’s planning to run for office—and short of committing suicide, there’s probably nothing Maddow can do about that.

    I think Maddow should make a run for office.

    THEN, I think someone should take a microscope to her life, maybe dig up some old videos of her doing or saying something stupid while she was in college. Bet they’re out there, too.

    THEN, I think the media should dig up anyone from her past who has anything negative to say about her and tell us all about it 24/7. After that they can take affidavits from anyone claiming to ever having had an affair with her and tell us all about that, too. Maybe even tell us about her personal “grooming habits.”

    THEN, I think Saturday Night Live should do a skit about a loudmouthed short haired lesbian who tries to claim that the liberal network she works for isn’t a liberal network and any of the other things they could mock without mercy.

    THEN….fill in the blank here. Take your pick.

    Go ahead, Rachel. Have at it. Let’s see if the media will be kinder to you thatn you and your ilk have been to other women who chose that path.

    The lunatic-left in MA are clearly jealous of CA’s position as the most politically despicable state in the nation and they want that #1 title back! With “Corrupt B-tard” maddow, they just might have a chance.

    The November 2nd results indisputably, unquestionably make california the most disgusting, pathetic state in the nation! Not only did lunatic-left d-crat socialists win essential EVERY race in the state, the slugs, slackers, deadbeats, losers, liars, cheats, illegals and hollywood degenerate voters, all stoned on “medical” pot., EVEN RE-ELECTED A DEAD D-CRAT to the legislature! In fact, the voters are clearly so stoned out of their minds that the fact that these same d-crat socialists have morally, ethically, socially, politically AND economically bankrupted the state doesn’t matter to them in the slightest! It’s just “Party On, Dudes!”

    The only hope for the rest of America is that some way is found to remove california from our constitutional democracy. Let’s all pray for “The Big One”.

    What do you call repeating the same mistakes over and over again but expecting a better result?
    –#1 California #2 Massachusetts, #3 Insanity.

    Steve Stockman

    Firstly, if Bill Ayers decided to engage in a late life incendiary spree and then immediately faxed a notification to then senator Obama, that would certainly be taken as proof of “palling around with domestic terrorists”. Stockman was a paranoid right wing kook and though the fax came after the bombing, Rachel responded to the error in her timeline by issuing a correction…

    “On Monday, I said that Mr. Stockman’s notice from the militia movement about the Oklahoma City bombing was advance notice. It wasn’t in advance, it was right after the bombing. I apologize for the misstatement. It was an editing error and it was mine alone.”

    You can certainly see what you want from this, call Maddow a LIAR as the big lesson learned… for me the story is about the danger of rightwing extremism first and the importance of the edit lastly.

    Ummmmm . . . she lied. It was a horrific lie. She should have been fired. I wish that bothered you, but sadly it doesn’t.

    I think Rachel would make a great senator. It’s a shame so many people resent her because she is so much brighter and works so much harder than they do. They are accusing her of lying which is itself a bald face lie. She checks her facts and is more careful than anyone on T.V. She is polite, she has manners. Obviously unlike most of the vulgar crowd that works and watches Fox she came from a good home where politeness and values were taught. Her work product and her manners speak to this.

    As any good journalist Ms. Maddow makes retractions when she makes a mistake unlike the dumbed doen crowd at Fox. The people that dislike her could not qualify for top tier schools, do not have doctorate degrees and are just plain intellectually lazy. Its a shame but these people are destroying the American dream for the rest of us. \

    It’s funny that those who are not smart enough to get into Harvard put it down all the time. It’s no wonder that the countries of the Pacific rim are kicking our butts. In those countries education is respect not derided.

    I would love to see the face of the democrats be Maddow, Frank, Franken, Pelosi, Rangle, Boxer, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Bobby Rush and Jesse Jackson Jr.. That would really get them lots of votes.

    What bothers ME is right-wingers who deliberately conflate lies with errors . . . when it’s convenient and doesn’t involve one of their own.

    Maddow apologized on-air – AND took sole blame for her error. Andrea Makris is still waiting for her public apology from O’Reilly. George Soros is waiting for his from Beck. AMERICA is waiting for its from Rupert Moredreck.

    The hypocrisy, hubris and hatred of the far right will be its ultimate undoing.

    How is education treated where you live? Any educated rednecks around? Not to manu huh? Supporting people like Palin, George Bush. The least educated of my friends have Masters degrees. Can you say the same? None of them grew up with parents who had a lot of money. They worked their butts off.

    By the way I would bet you dollars to donuts that I live in a more prestigious neighborhood than you do. You asume a lot, How would someone like you even know or be able to recognize racism.

    If you believe this, you are even dumber than you appear to be on these posting threads. I have watched her [holding my nose at some of her androgynous twaddle] constantly cherry-pick her DNC supplied “facts” which are indeed in reality either outright lies—like anything she says about the mortgage crisis and subsequent financial disaster—or egregious unethical interpretations of whatever was said by Palin, O’Reilly, et al on the right.

    Isn’t it interesting that she never boosts the Health Care monstrosity except to LIE ABOUT it. Nobody knows what’s in the law, including former-Speaker Pelosi, and MadCow makes up whatever she’s feeling like in her creative imagination. Plus a few DNC lies to cover her weird backside.

    Oh, sweet smokin’ Moses. Some of the biggest dumbasses I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing in my professional career had Master’s degrees. All that indicates is a level of formal education.

    I know this may hurt some people’s feelings but, a degree isn’t an actual indicator of intelligence. It’s a symbol of formal education. And, guess what? The two things are really and truly NOT one and the same. And, guess what else? I’ve known some of those “rednecks” that you so easily dismiss who have a deep natural intelligence your over-educated fools can’t touch outside of their little bubbles.

    You used the word homeboys. That is a very racially charged expression. I am a 57 year old man. i have never used that expression in my life. It sounds racist to someone like me. I assume you didn’t mean it that way but that is why i threw redneck back at you. I, quite frankly do make judgments based upon how people formulate their ideas and arguments. when i hear someone calling people names without an argument I judge them as being either intellectually lazy and/or not very bright. For your information when i was sixteen I worked my way up from a volunteer status to salaried staff for a New York City Republican mayoral candidate. He was running for reelection on the Liberal Party line and he won. I did not care whether he was a Democrat or Republican. I liked him because i supported liberal policies. In those days their were still many liberal Republicans.

    I agree but I can’t help wanting to condescend to conservatives. It usually shocks them ans pisses them off. I sit and laugh. One of the brightest men i ever met just had a high school education. He had such a quick mind, but he had little formal education.

    Actually Dave, the search for the “objective” has roots at least as deep as Plato, full flowering at the level of enlightenment and heavy fruit like the scientific revolution… All modern thought must reference the concept even to the point of describing political truth as “self evident”… To link the goal of objectivity to a single branch of modern thought is either disingenuous or ignorant.

    do you think that objectivity is possible? Is it possible to step outside of ones perspective on the world and view it as an outsider? I do not think so. I think that objectivity is ontologically impossible to achieve. I think the best we can do is present different peoples perspectives on an issue.

    Plato thought that all things were knowable, that the universe had certain forms that could be learned by a philosopher king. Most modern, outside of theologically deterministic thinkers I would think believe that all knowledge is relative. I don’t know. It’s an interesting question.

    No, sadly, he isn’t. Desperate right-wingers here resort to name-calling when they run out of reasonable arguments. They seem to run out pretty quickly.

    Nitsowit’s a plagiarist, as well.

    One doesn’t need to be highly educated to be smart, though a reasonable degree of intelligence is required in order to become highly educated. Flashhash can’t or won’t accept such an idea and thus resorts to demeaning the ENTIRE educational process. A typical right-wing tactic: drag your opponent down to your level.

    Yes, I agree some thing are true given certain circumstances but change the circumstances change the rules or as lawyers say change the facts, change the law. I agree with you that the cognition process may expand as we evolve and use more of our brain. I really wonder though if we can ever escape the limitations our finite place in space and time?

    You must be a racist. I just said what Bill Cosby and Jesse Jackson have said in the past. Maybe you are not watching the right news.

    Gordon,

    You ascribed pathological characteristics to an entire race of people, that is by definition racist. I have seen the exact same argument on the pages of white nationalist forums. You are a racist and play the childish game “I know you are…” because you are not only racist but dishonest.

    Hey Armchair, could you please just give it a rest with the ,Americans are not truly worldly and the rest of the world is far better bullshit you continually spew.

    Here is Armwood on Obama. This isn’t condensation, its idiocy.

    “A large part of the opposition to Obama is based on race. The Birthers are all about race. A large part of the Tea Party Obama hate is about hate. This isobvious.

    What moron writes that and expects to be taken seriously, anywhere?

    Armwood, would you care to explain the 30% of the US that has magically become racist in 18 months moron? 70% to 40%?

    Thought so.
    How did that happen?

    Armpit, jeopardy question for you. What do all these BILLIONAIRES have in common? Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Ralph Lauren, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Kirk Kerkorian, Dean Kamen. I’ll give you a hint. Multiple choice. A: WENT TO THE COLLEGE THAT YOU ATTENDED. B:NEVER FINISHED COLLEGE. You don’t like it when people are sick of your bullshit and throw it back in your face. Then you cry like a typical liberal.

    You take statements that you ascribe to me and generalize them to percentages I never have used. That is incredibly dishonest. The birther argument is clearly race based as is the claims of Obama being a Muslim. They are both patently false and based on racial bigotry. If you disbelieve that you are not intellectually capable of an adult conversation with me on the issue.

    i have never said all opposition to Obama is based on race. If you had read my posts, like you are pretending to have, you would know some specific issues on which I disagree with Obama’s policies, and disagree strongly.

    Tea Party members have spit on black congressman and carried racist signs. It is not all Tea Party members but some. There behavior is OK for you. I am an American, that type of behavior not acceptable to me.

    Go get drunk or do the drugs you use but don’t call me outside of your name if you want a response. If you came from a decent family you would know better than behave like this.

    Straight from the posts of the educated professor Armwood . I agree but I can’t help wanting to condescend to conservatives. It usually shocks them ans pisses them off. I sit and laugh. How is education treated where you live? Any educated rednecks around? Not to manu huh? Supporting people like Palin, George Bush. The least educated of my friends have Masters degrees. Can you say the same? As any good journalist Ms. Maddow makes retractions when she makes a mistake unlike the dumbed doen crowd at Fox. The people that dislike her could not qualify for top tier schools, do not have doctorate degrees and are just plain intellectually lazy. Its a shame but these people are destroying the American dream for the rest of us. And you think being educated is listening to Rush Limbaugh, one of the most notorious and ignorant bigots in America. Most people in America are embarrassed to admit they even have listened to him. Not even established conservatives have any use for his drug craved ravings. He plays on the worst in humankind.Tea Party members have spit on black congressman and carried racist signs. There behavior is OK for you. I am an American, that type of behavior not acceptable to me. I THANK MY PARENTS FOR BRINGING ME UP NOT TO BE LIKE YOU.

    We all know that you are a recognized expert on racism. LOL. I just said what Bill Cosby has said. It is the truth and the truth is NEVER racist.

    Maddow is not running for the Senate. She is running for Village Idiot. She has my vote.

    Ignorant, explain what I am missing? Are you saying that you do not support Rush Limbaugh? Are you denying that people are embarrassed about listening to Rush. I have heard this so often from conservatives that I can’t count them. Please, find me a conservative academic, at a top tier university, that openly supports Limbaugh. Please do this. I am not the one who is ignorant my friend. You saw that person in the mirror this morning.

    Bill Cosby never said what you said. That was a lie. The nuances of Cosby’s message seems beyond your simplistic, Limbaughish view of the world. Bill Cosby has spoken to black communities urging parents to be responsible for their kids. Do you not also think that the parents of white meth heads need to be more responsible for their kids also? We as Americans have problems with our children. Two many American children are not being properly parented. You like to exempt yourself from examination so you can look down on groups of people. No room for actual facts, thought, analysis and reflection from you. I take raising children seriously. I have raised two Certified Public Accountants, a surgeon and a businessman, You do not know my hood. I will compare mine to yours any day.

    Would that be DOCTOR Rachel Maddow, Oxford grad and Rhodes scholar?

    You’re a complete imbecile . . . more correctly, an INCOMPLETE imbecile. OTHER imbeciles are embarrassed by association with you. Your “ratings” [snicker] prove it.
