Anyone else watching Maddow tonight? She looks like CRAP! Why?
She looks like she has either been bawling her eyes out, or is having an allergic reaction with puffy eyes and huge black saddle bags under her eyes. It looks like she can barely keep her eyes open.

Geeze, did something traumatic happen? Or is she sick?

3. Her nose is stuffed up too.
She may be a bit under the weather.

5. She's worked with a cold while traveling for a week now
I'd say she looks pretty good for doing all that .

7. It's been obvious all week that she has a horrible headcold.
She probably feels like death warmed over.

9. Another one of those expressions--death warmed over--
that one wonders where it came from.

13. You got me curious.
Here's my hypothesis: "Warmed over" refers to the preparation of leftover food to serve again. Leftovers are less desirable than food just now cooked, and the warming process can damage them further. They get overcooked, dry, limp where you want crispy, stiff where you want soft, charred around the edges. Sauces separate. Flavor vanishes. So "warmed over" is an intensifier: Not only did he look awful, he didn't even look fresh. (Not necessarily an insult; for instance, may be said sympathetically of someone who's ill or exhausted.)

8. Certain camera angles are definitely not flattering to her. I noticed yesterday
that she looked kind of bad then they changed camera angles and she looked good.

11. I have not watched but she sounded sick on the radio.
On her nightly show she sounded hoarse. I've had a bad cold this week too, so I know it's the season.

12. She looks like she has a terrible head cold...all stuffed up.
Her eyes look like she should be home in bed with some hot chicken soup.

14. I noticed that too...
Not only does she look bad, she doesn't look like herself.

She looks puffy and the dark circles under her eyes make her look completely different.

I've seen her look terrible on-air before, and you could tell she was sick.

I think she is very tenacious and continues with her work, despite feeling really terrible.

She's just incredibly committed, even when she feels like crap.

I applaud Rachel and her dark circles!

15. Wow! That's so inconsiderate on so many levels.
:thumbsdown:

You could say "she doesn't look herself" or "is she feeling well?"

But the nasty quip "she looks like crap" is quite harsh considering she is ONE of TWO liberal voices on the Corporate M$M.

Sure you can say almost any dig against public figures - but I can also take offense because Rachel is "one of us" (Liberal Democrats).

16. Plus, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out she's got a bad cold.

20. Oh, for fuck sakes. Nobody loves Rachel more than I do. Nobody!
As my dad would say:

"Go play in the street"

or

"Go steal pocketbooks"

GEEZE! :eyes:

17. She sounds congested, and needs some frownies on her forehead.. Looked
sick and tired, but Christ on a cracker, you guys, Chris Dodd looks like he is about to explode with a massive stroke. I feel like I am coming out of an 8-yr insanity episode, just woke from a coma and it is a bizarre hellscape out here. Dip*stick (chimperor) looks like he has been in an all night stick fight with a youth gang. If they give bailout money to the banks, and they just spend it buying other banks, and going on weekend trips, that will be criticised, but dang all that money that Wall street has is everybody's retirement savings. Young people can sleep on the ground and have strength to start over, but old people do not have the means to start over, and they feel so helpless. I am sure young people feel just as helpless and lost...hell, I don't know what I am getting at, it just seems so hopeless... Then there is you...(kiss, hug)...

19. She apologized last night for a cold
she had, during her radio program. The cold must be really draining her, as we all know it can. Get Well Rachel, take care of you.

Does this mean our secret affair is over now?

29. I had noticed this the past couple of nights.....flu season has already started....and
I think we will probably be seeing a sub next week.

She just came back from vacation and probably thought she should tough it out...but it doesn't appear to be working.

32. Her eyes have been like that all week. I thought it was an allergic
reaction to something.
