Rachel Maddow is getting her lesbian matriarchy all over your teevee screen

Rachel Maddow is getting her lesbian matriarchy all over your teevee screen

National Review Online has up one big old honkin’ mess of a ‘story’ about how Rachel Maddow is some kind of “queen” who is nancying up MSNBC with her butch ways and also her feminine wiles which is making us all totally gender confused about what the hell is going on not only in America but also in our pants. This delightful bit of reportorial flailing in an attempt to make some kind of point is written by Eliana Johnson (who is the daughter of one of the goofy looking guys at Powerline because wingnut welfare never sleeps) and is chock-a-block full of quotes Drudge-sourced from anonymous MSNBC people in the know who are just aching to mean-girl bitch-dish on la Maddow to someone at NRO.

Here is your subhead so that you know which road we are headed down:

Maddow is part of the new matriarchy running NBC News behind the scenes.

Well then. Tell me more, tell me more:

MSNBC, the left-leaning cable-news network, has settled on one solution to its recent problems. It now has an executive reviewing scripts before they go on the air. The role, which has fallen to Rich Stockwell, a former executive producer of The Ed Show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann who now oversees special projects at the network…

After pointing out that Rachel Maddow is the only adult wearing the man-pants at MSNBC because she is not making innocent off-hand comments that send Michelle Malkin into grand mal ragegasms like everyone else on the network apparently is, Johnson continues:

Though she provides the network’s ideological vision — MSNBC president Phil Griffin has called her “our quarterback” — she’s neither an executive nor a manager. Griffin, who wears both hats, is, from all appearances, letting the inmates run the asylum.

That's so immature.

Rather than debating the issues (knowing, of course, that they'd lose on the merits against Rachel Maddow), they choose to get personal. It's what one does when they can't argue facts, and it shouldn't be tolerated by their readers. Unfortunately for the country, the gullible among their readership don't care about facts, and the editors of right-wing blogs and propaganda outlets posing as legitimate news sources, know it.

Time and again, she smacks conservatives in the face with the truth and shines bright light on to their shady dealings.

Notice how her gender and sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with what she's doing, how she's doing it, or why she is so effective at it. How is it at all germane to the discussion?

I do not care about Maddow's sexuality or orientation. I care about the way that she presents complex issues in a very clear fashion.
