but I'm tired of all the post-election talk. I wish these people had talked BEFORE the election, and even more than that I wish SOMEONE would take some ACTION.

OK done ranting. Will catch Rachel on the rerun tonight. Thanks!

THAT HUGE SECRET MEETING TODAY, with the DEMS coming out so FURIOUS --- MAXINE WATERS said "THE FBI DIRECTOR HAS NO CREDIBILITY" !!!! All the
Dems in that CLOSED MEETING are furious with James Comey. why???
i bet there will soon be leaks as to exactly what went on. whoever leaks will be a PATRIOT.



THE BRITISH "EX SPY" who is now in hiding ..... was David Corn from rolling stones mag. interviewed the spy guy, THE FBI was given the info
from the spy guy LAST SUMMER !!!! And they won't tell anyone about the info. COMEY KNEW ABOUT the info. THE FBI didn't "assess" the info
to see if it was true. Comey sat on it. THIS MORNING..... THE SENATE IS SUPPOSEDLY GONNA INVESTIGATE!!

RACHEL JUST SAID ...... THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY IN THE WORLD. ..... and it is.

better than Maddow. Does anyone else really get annoyed by Rachel's repetition? One repetition is enough for emphasis, Rachel. Move on and add to the information.

better.. I don't have a tv so I don't see her that often but I think I'd like to get this one when it comes out.

that I don't appreciate her, but, yes, there is something about her rhetorical style. I do find myself telling her to "Come on and get it out!"

Anyway, not going to stop watching her. On the plus side, she is a lot funnier than O'Donnell, a lot more "fun" person it seems.

She's attempting to give historical context and for those of us who already know history, it can seem a little slow and tedious at times, but it's an important service. That said, I find her obsequiousness toward her fellow reporters disingenuous sometimes. Also, I think she knows more than she tells, she protects too much.
