Rachel Maddow makes the "Cable News Hotties" article in the Wash Post!
Congratulations Rachel! Now, if you could only get your own show on MSNBC.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/10/AR2008021002816.html



So many questions keeping the Wonk Nation glued to cable news these days: Is Obama's charisma a match for Clinton's visibility? Is Huckabee bound to play the spoiler? And OMG, there's that Kevin Madden guy again -- is he married? Every election cycle brings a crop of cute new talking heads to our TV screens. We introduce you to the breakout eye candy of '08:

Who: Rachel Maddow
Day job: Air America radio host
Spotted: MSNBC
Age: 34
Status: Living with partner, artist Susan Mikula
Dress code: Jeans and T-shirts; reluctantly wears suits for TV. "I feel like I'm dressing up like a high school principal."
Fan e-mails: Straight guys who write, "Does it make me a lesbian if I have a crush on you?"

15. She's the smartest woman on TeeVee
today and nothing makes me laugh louder than watching her expose the GEM$NBC bimbos. Nora should beg for time off when Rachel's on. :D

An intelligent political analyst -how refreshing.

3. Might not always agree with Rachel - but she's always being HONEST about what she thinks!
Too many TVHeads just recite lines that'll keep them on the air, and Rachel Maddow ain't never gonna fall into that!

5.  "Does it make me a lesbian if I have a crush on you?" LOL - she's a real person -goes to Mass state
fair!

It doesn't hurt that she is sharp as a tack and combines that with an ability to think on her feet!

14. Hell, I'm female, straight, and almost 51, and I have a crush on her.
I subscribed to AAR podcasts just to be able to listen to her whenever I want--her voice is very soothing. That and she's wicked smart. It's amazing how many people love her, and rightfully so. She is damm good at what she does, and pleasant to boot.

Yes, Rachel, you're cuuuuuuuuuuute!!! :bounce:

16. She's certainly easy enough on the eyes, but -
It's her personality that clinches it. She's upbeat without being perky, witty without being obvious, and just generally effervescent. A thoroughly pleasant person.
