Rachel Maddow To Jimmy Fallon: I Never Thought Santorum Could Do Well In NH, ‘I Mean… Google Him’

Video
» 99 comments

Rachel Maddow, you guys? She’s kind of weird. And I say that with no ill-feeling in my heart towards Maddow. (There are, indeed, only two cable news hosts I’d like to smack in the face, hard, with a filet of tuna, and one of them happens to be firmly nestled on my end of the political spectrum. But he’s just the worst.)

Maddow finds Christmas stressful (BECAUSE SHE’S A COMMUNIST), so she took a break from her family’s holiday festivities to go out fishing alone. But because she doesn’t have a license to fish in Maine, she decided to “pretend fish” using a piece of yarn. That’s silly! You’re silly, Rachel Maddow. Deal with stress the normal way and consume an entire fruitcake in the shower while crying, like the rest of us.

Also, I wish our staff had gotten matching sneakers for Christmas, like Maddows’ co-workers did. Hell, even Crocs incorrectly advertising “Mediate” would’ve done the trick:

In the second part of the interview, Maddow discussed “rocking out with our caucus out,” noting that The Republicans “kind of seem to hate” Mitt Romney. However, she would definitely love to see a debate between Rick Santorum and Barack Obama, particularly if they talk about birth control, abortion and social security — the issues that make you want to consume an entire fruitcake in the show while crying.

She also thought it silly that Rick Perry would “almost” drop out of the race after the Iowa caucus because, ultimately, “Iowa means nothing.”

But don’t ask her who’ll be the winner, because she’s among those who thought anyone but Santorum could get manage a bump in support from New Hampshire voters. “I mean… Google him.” (Don’t.)

Check out the rest of her interview, from NBC:

    Typical disgusting Maddow telling people to look up a disgusting homosexual joke one of her filthy kind created.
    Such despicable people, and it’s time to make a stand and call them the vile, despicable people they are.

    Rachel Maddow To Jimmy Fallon: I Never Thought Santorum Could Do Well In NH, ‘I Mean… Google Him’

    I googled rachel madCOW and all I got were references to “lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist media stooge”.

    I saw Fallon outside the NYU dorms once. He seemed like a nice enough guy. Not sure about the show though. Without The Roots, I can’t imagine he would still be on.

    Obviously Rachel is saying all the things we would expect her to say. She is probably the most predictable person on her network at this point. Which actually does say a lot. But the way she speaks about social issues is the way all liberals do. They literally have no idea that yes, their views on abortion, gay marriage/adoption etc.., are also largely driven by ideology. But liberals don’t see it that way. They truly believe that it’s just what “normal people” think. Therefore the arrogant tone with which they speak(which was never captured more perfectly than when South Park mocked San Francisco liberals as people who literally enjoyed the smell of their own farts). It’s only the zealots on the right that are injecting their “weird” ideology into the debate! It of course all starts with the liberal assumption that the only way you can disagree with them is if you start from a different value premise.

    I’d like to see if Joe Scarborough has the guts to call her out like he did to Eugene Robinson.

    Let’s deal with EWW’s judgment of Rachel Maddow being “despicable”. We can’t tell from EWW’s comment whether that word is intended to refer to some thing or things she has done or said, or to her as a person. I suspect it’s the latter, but EWW can remedy this problem, so I’ll just let him.

    Dealing with Rachel Maddow as a public person (I don’t think EWW is suggesting that he knows anything at all about her in any other context.), this is what we know: that she’s probably the single best political news commentator on any American network or cable TV news today , & if not the best then she’s very close to. 

    Again, EWW leaves something out, being the reason for the “homosexual joke” being “disgusting”; we can’t even tell if EWW intends that his choice of adjective apply to the first or second noun that follows (or perhaps both, though I doubt EWW is quite that poetical). Assuming it’s the former, then EWW fails to account for two important facts about the “joke”: firstly, that this “joke” is freely publicly available to anyone who chooses to Google the name “Santorum”, & secondly that this is not Maddow’s “joke” (not the she implies otherwise), but rather that of Dan Savage, & more over that it’s possible – I think highly probable – that Savage himself did not intend the post that Googling that name produces as a joke per se, but rather intended it as a quite serious rebutttal to an intolerable “joke” that Rick Santorum made, as a defeatingly absurd & deeply ignorant, or cynical, or both, extreme insult to human beings whose gender preferences are not as Santorum would have us believe his is & that every ‘normal’ human’s ought to be – a proposition which runs up against massively overwhelming evidence readily available from nature.  

    Obviously EWW is perfectly entitled to call anyone he wants “vile” & “despicable”; but since that assessment is just as obviously wrong, then his call to others to call her (among others of her ‘type’, whatever that might be – yet another point on which EWW is not helpful) so is insensible, to say the least.

    Yes… a internet bullying campaign started by one of the biggest jerks in the world is proof of Maddow’s point. Good job dumba$$.

  • Hout Bosques

    I neglected to add this: by what right does this “Gloves” commentator claim to be entitled to dehumanize Rachel Maddow, or any other human being? He’s certainly free to call her “nasty” & ‘wretched’, despite a lack of any evidence to support that judgment – but he’s certainly NOT entitled to question her membership of a species without evidence.

    Too bad Maddow is not witty enough and is way to smug and takes herself way too seriously. Stewart even told her so, much to Maddow’s contempt.

    Thought I would be immune to MSNBC by now, but after tuning in briefly to RM’s show it took four to hours to stop shaking and for my stomach to stop wrenching.  Found that chanting the Declaration of Independence and reflecting on all the fabulous things this nation and its fine peoples have achieved helped greatly to make restore my inner equilibrium.

    But why, oh why did Mediaite make me do it, why did you make me watch?  Please no more articles on the Mad Cow, can’t we all just get along and ignore her???

    Just since you commented on EWW’s grammar, there was only one noun ‘following’ – the other was an adjective.

    And yes, quite a despicable comment by Maddow – I would expect such conduct from perhaps an 8th grader – but only by a very few.

    If you think she’s the best commentator, or even close to the best, you should expand your horizons.

    It’s a despicable joke created by a despicable man and propagated by a despicable person in Maddow, who is a dishonest person who happens to take delight in despicable jokes.

    So glad you wasted a half hour of your life pretending you are a clever person on an Internet message board. Next time cut to the chase and have the guts to call someone you disagree with a homophobe…it’s all you leftist cowards got.

If you don’t like homosexual bullies getting called out for their filthy “jokes” then maybe your side should have a little decency and stop doing things that make people look down on and dislike you. If not, cry me a river when there’s some backlash to your rotten behavior.

    You click on to see what profound statement Rachel made?  I understand – we all enjoy watching a wreak. 

    She does make insulting, bigoted statements and acts like her own cheerleader.  Somehow that idiot never grew up.  Even in the pic. you can make out the hand gestures and the stupid face – with spittle drooling from the corners of her mouth. 

    p.s.  I don’t watch her – can’t stand listening to her snide, snarky baseless, stupid, attention seeking nonsense.  Think she should walk hand in hand with Olberman into the sunset.

    Maybe it wasn’t intentional, but I very much like this effect that you’ve produced from omitting the normally-expected comma between “decency” and “asshole”. This way, you’re not bringing out the conventional standard insult of calling a reader commenter who posts comments as they randomly ooze from his waste product exit an asshole; rather, you’re drawing attention to the possibility that the commenter has misplaced, or is at least neglecting, or perhaps is missing, a standard issue component of body equipment: the “decency asshole”. 

    Now I have this image of GMD off in search of a mirror to inspect whether in fact it’s been misplaced or it’s missing entirely. I’m betting on the former.

    This is my point exactly. Your views on Global Warming, immigration, abortion, the death penalty, gay marriage….They are all the views of someone who “see’s things the way they are.”

    To you, a brother and sister who disagree on gay marriage are clearly two people who have different morals and values. Rather than people who have a different vision of the world. One uses human history to form their opinions. The other(you) uses utopian hopes for a “better” world. It’s just as ideological. But mostly, you feel this way because it allows you to NEVER have to learn and study what the other side thinks and says.

    Maddow is kind of weird? Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are kind of weird. She’s a flat out fruitcake pretending 24/7. At what point she actually touches reality other than in the most strict technical sense I really don’t know. Plus she apparently likes Harry Potter as fashion. Why not Stan Laurel or a pine tree?

    Rachel was wrong with that.  The only other thing I disagree with her on is her liberal views on foreign policy, like speaking out against our drone strikes.  Obama is protecting America and she can criticize him for that as much as she wants but God forbid we have another 9-11 and she would eat her words if he stopped our drone strikes..
    Other than that she is spot on, on everything else .And very, very intgelligent to boot.
