1. She deserves it.

Her show is good.

[jn2375]

2. she's doing great, love her

[jillan]

3. What I love about her show is how in depth she goes into the subject.

On all topics.

But then again, I've been a Rachel fan since her days on Morning Sedition.

4. Incredible!

She's had her own TV show for only a week and a half -- and already, Rachel is ON FIRE!

:yourock: :toast:

5. great! And I bet that KO is really excited for her too.

I wish that they could replace Morning Joe with Dan Abrams...I feel like he would be getting his lawyer spasms on for troopergate.

edit: I had initially screwed up Morning Joe and Dan Abrams in the sentence...didn't want anyone to think that Joe was preferable.

[LooseWilly]

13. I don't know... Dan Abrams can be pretty painful too. (n/t)

[ErinBerin84]

16. true.

but not as painful as Morning Joe, at least to me...I think that one of Dan's problems is that he is more of a legal guy than a politics guy...which is why I wonder about what his take on troopergate would be.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

22. Nah, my first choice for a slot that is replaced is David Gregory.

He irks me so much more than Joe. Which says a lot because Joe is such an ass.

6. Even my Libertarian spouse Loves Rachel and Libertarians don't approve of anyone!!!

[Bensthename]

7. Woo Hoo.. Her logic, insight, and cute personality is hard to beat.

[vanderBeth]

8. Way to go Rachel!

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

9. Rachel is a breath of pure, fresh oxygen

in a world of smog, lies and bullshit. She is the best thing on TV since the sainted Walter Cronkite.

[ErinBerin84]

10. oh yeah, and let me just add the obligatory

Take THAT, you low rated fucker David Gregory!

[MadBadger]

11. One day doesnt equal the highest rated show

Good job for her, but she beat him one day.

[DainBramaged]

18. NO, she beats King nearly EVERY night, DOUBLES Tweety's viewership

and is neck in neck with KO (http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ you'll find the ratings)

[burrowowl]

12. K&R! and CONGRATULATIONS!

GO! RACHEL!

[BlueInPhilly]

15. Jon Klein of CNN - TAKE THAT!

He didn't hire Rachel because "she's too liberal" - how's that working for you now, sucker?

[ecstatic]

14. really glad they added an 11pm slot.

reality season has been heating up lol

[medicswife]

17. Just tuned in to watch it. :) nt

[Thrill]

19. Her show is great. I was LMAO watching her and Senator McCaskill bash the McCain campaign

[Hoof Hearted]

20. I'm not shocked. I like her much better than Olbermann.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. I watch and really enjoy both, but I *love* Rachel. The only thing I don't like is the culture guy

at the end.

[saltpoint]

23. Note to Katie Couric: THIS is how it's done.

Congrats to Rachel Maddow. And she couldn't have gone on-screen at a better time.
