The Ode To Rachel Maddow

What can I say, I'm in love with her. If I were gay, and a woman for that matter, I'd be all over her (see Hobo on a ham sandwich).  But alas, I was cursed with heterosexuality and manhood **sigh**...blast! Lets be clear about something, its not that I find Rachel (we are on a first name basis) to be gorgeous or think that she has some superficial physical characteristic or disproportionately large body part to die for (see Buffie). I just love her for her, as much as one can love someone that they have never met nor been within 100 yards of.

Truth is, I actually think she is kinda plain Jane/Kiesha. What really keeps me coming back to MSNBC (besides furthering my repetitive stress disorder... liberal agenda) is that big sexy Stanford trained, Oxford attending, Rhodes Scholar brain of hers. **sigh** She is a nerd...like me... and in the end i'm all about sticking with my own kind! (still waiting in vain for the "supreme" court to come to its senses on Loving v. Virginia ...i kid i kid.)

Ok, on a semi serious note, the oneeeee problem i have with Rachel is what appears to be her general disdain for individual expressions of faith. She ridicules anyone (e.i. Sarah Palin) for making statements, that honestly, my mom/grandma make on a daily basis. Statements like "God guided me to the Vice Presidency" or "May God lead our troups in battle" (ps. my mom does not say those exact phrases). I know everyone (with a brain) is about separating church and state...sh*t, I'm all for it too! But I worry that subtle attacks on such expressions are just as oppressive as those who try to force religion down our collective throats (see evangelicals).

Not to worry, this small divergence in viewpoints is not enough to quench the eternal love-flame i have burning for sweet Rachel...she will always be my Air America-truck driving-lesbian-Caucasian-east coast Michele Obama.

PS ...I swear I am not alone in my love for Rachel! ..at this point I usually would post a link to further my viewpoints, but instead! all you're gonna get is this:   <3
