Dumbest statement ever...
From Rachael Madcow (MSNBC)
"The congressional authorization to go to war with AlQueda is still good... but it doesn't apply to this group in Iraq because AlQueda disowned them earlier this year"... What a stupid bitch.... |

For a guy like you, an uneducated moron who was socially promoted out of high school and who has never held a decent job, to call Ms. Maddow "stupid" is just...a statement that qualifies as one of the dumbest remarks ever. Anytime Rachel belches, she is expelling more brain activity than you have ever had. Among her many achievements, Rachel holds a Doctor of Philosophy in politics from Oxford University. You wouldn't qualify to swab out toilets at Oxford. -- If right-wing assholes could fly, rec.boats would be an airport! |

Degrees doesn't make someone smart. What someone does with them is what makes them smart. That said, I don't think Maddow is stupid by any stretch. However, she *is* a hard core liberal progressive who, just like some of the hard core Tea Party membership, can't see things any other way but her own. She's also every bit a political issue entertainer, much like Rush Limbaugh. |

Oh, please stop with these anti-higher-education tirades of yours. They just make you look silly. I know a few people with doctorates and I know what they went through to get them. To even get into a first-rate doctoral program, you had to have high GRE scores, high grades, be personally interviewed by several faculty members, and have significant letters of recommendation. There were multi-day exams at the end of each year, and I know of several students who were "dropped" halfway through, there were proficiency requirements in math and science and foreign languages, faculty committees to be satisfied, preparation of a significant research project, having the proposed project evaluated by internal and external faculty committees, spending about a year doing the research, evaluating it, preparing a half dozen dissertation drafts, teaching classes, more exams, a final exam on "knowledge" that lasted two days, and a full-fledged defense of the dissertation before three university faculty members and several faculty members from other universities. Anyone who has an earned doctorate through a rigorous on-campus program is smart. To posit otherwise is just silliness. "Satisfying the course requirements..." What a laugh. And for a moron like Ingersoll to claim Rachel Maddow is "stupid" just reveals how stupid he is. -- If right-wing assholes could fly, rec.boats would be an airport! |

Hsrry, you may as we'll relax. This is nothing to get wound up about. Rachel May be smart. I don't watch her. Then again I don't watch fox either so I don't see or follow any of it. What Richard is saying though is a sheepskin may prove a so called higher education but a person can have all the education they can stand and still be an educated idiot.

My objections are with people who feel they are somehow superior, smarter or "better" simply because they have advanced or more than one degree. You often happen to be a perfect example. The subject here was Rachel Maddow, who is as smart as a person gets, and who also has advanced degrees. One of the resident morons here claimed she was "stupid." That was stupid. And you were stupid to call Bill stupid. I still say you have to be stupid, regardless of degrees, to get up there and say the things she says... |

Harry, I'd gladly share a room with Richard for a while! I don't know how long he could put up with me but I know I 'd learn a lot from him...

In Rachel Maddow's case (you remember, you called her stupid), it means she is a lot smarter than you. Of course, so are the poops in my cat's litter box. -- If right-wing assholes could fly, rec.boats would be an airport! |

What a stupid bitch.... Statements by Rachel Madcow and "Reverend" Al Sharpton reveal nothing about their positions. The fact that NBC is able to sell advertising because you loons watch this stupidity reveals EVERYTHING about your population. |

Some folks with advanced degrees still lack common sense but they have certainly gone through the mill and had the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills. Ms Maddow doesn't demonstrate a lack of common sense nor does she lack analytical skill but she is sometimes exhaustive in her analysis. I will fast forward both her and Lawrence O'Donnell when they get pedantic, which they often do. Not that I don't appreciate the work, I just don't need to hear it from several different angles to get it. I expect some of that is to fill time, like an attorney billing by the hour. |

You have hit exactly my feelings about Maddow and O'Donnell. I have watched and listened to both over the years, interested in their take on current events and I don't always disagree with them. It's the daily, weekly and sometimes longer repetitious discussion about a singular issue that gets to me after a while. Of the two, I'd rather watch Rachael however. O'Donnell is worse and his style of delivery is like that of a grandfatherly figure slowly enunciating every word as if to let them "sink in" in his commentary. Five minutes of that is about all I can handle anymore. MSNBC was somewhat refreshing to me during his absence and convalescence following his car accident. I'll have to keep the remote within arm's reach again now. |

It was not about you - I agree with your original statement, however, my analysis about your population remains accurrate. |

I'll have to keep the remote within arm's reach again now. Maddow repeats phrases intolerably, as if she's talking to a child. She has few guests, usually spending the first 20 minutes in a haranguing, repetitious monologue. Her ego is boundless. I switch to CNN. O'Donnell is another egotistical fool. I predict Ari Melber will replace him in time, but I call that speculation. Unlike O'Donnell, who repeatedly said that based on his "extensive experience in writing laws" while on Sen. Moynihan's staff, the ACA was "impossible to pass." He had Scarborough believing him. Hell, I believed him. hehe. O'Donnell is a dope. I like Melber. But I liked the A-Team too. Some of this repitition and over-analysis has to be due to the format and medium. I bet Maddow and O'Donnell's crews have to gin up a ****load of content on their own, so it's easier to be exhuastive with one subject vs. having to develop more stories. I bet they're severely understaffed due to budget. That's where Huffington has succeeded. They develop some of their own content but also steal everyone else's work and reference it to fill out their site. News cannot be an easy business to be in. No longer are they funded at a loss in the interest of serving the public. They're for-profit entertainment arms of corporations who favor making rather than losing money. |
