3. Rachel will keep it real, if she's not starstruck.

I hope she understands that she belongs there and is as smart or smarter than them all. And I hope Goolsbee lets it rip if there's any bullshit, since he's got nothing to lose now. Like he said on Jon Stewart's show, a group of people in Washington "do not have their trays up and locked in the upright position." LOL!

4. I don't see her as the starstruck type.

I think she'll be fine.

8. When she was on before, she looked Dick Armey in the eye, and called him a liar.

I don't watch Sunday talk. I get too angry. I follow the filtered version here on Du.

12. Starstruck?? You do realize this isn't her first time there, and she has a show of her own, right?

They are the ones who should be starstruck.

16. Rachel doesn't get "starstruck". She has a worse problem.

She has bought into the meme of, "Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good." Then gradually we get, "Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the okay." Then we get, "Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the appalling." She's bought in too much into the red-blue summer camp color war.

7. Well now that's rare...

They always bring ilk like Schmuck Todd and Andrea Greenspan over to the cable side but you rarely if ever see the reverse happen. Let's hope they allow her to get a word in edgewise with the idiotic David Egor-y running the show. :puke:

14. I had to turn it off after McCain.. Even Rachel can't make that show tolerable

with Gregory feeding McCain and bloviating about S&P Downgrade.

21. She was great. I love how dumb she made that Con strategist look. She was even better

informed than Goolsby by a mile.

22. Notice how she was not allowed to rebut Greenspan or directly engage him. She would have made mince-

meat out of him if she was allowed to engage.
