Rachel Maddow’s Conspiracy Theory On Bush, Iraq War, And Microphone Problems

Maddow handled the technical snafu with grace, but after coming back from commercial break, she admitted “its really weird, nothing like this has ever happened to me before, I’m such a conspiracy theorist…I cannot tell you what I’m thinking right now, it would discredit me forever.” Oh if only she would share that theory!
