Happy ‘Landlocked’ Fourth! Rachel Maddow Blogs Her Trip To Afghanistan

Rachel Maddow is anchoring her show from Afghanistan this week and has been posting updates and photos to both her blog and Twitter. Maddow is traveling with NBC correspondent Richard Engel and producers Cory Gnazzo and Madeleine Haeringer and is celebrating the Fourth in “land-locked Asia.” She also had this to say via Twitter:

“Dubai airport is like a wizard-forsaken emerald city,” and it “easy to find the flight to kabul. afghans, and plainclothes american guys with arm muscles the size of armour hams.”

No doubt. Below, Maddow prepares for Afghanistan travel: “Repacking for internal Afghan travel. Not bringing the case of water or the desk lamp, but everything else. Ugh.”
