Rachel Maddow has a real gift for moral clarity.

[milestogo]

Its not just that she's exceptionally smart and well educated.

Its not just that she thinks on her feet and is a very capable and interesting journalist.

She always seems to zero in on the center of whats gone wrong, and pull that into view for all to see.

She should be required watching for all elected officials.

1. I agree.

[malaise]

2. Her focus on the lack of attention at nursing homes

is more proof of that. I have deep respect for Rachel.

[bdamomma]

3. She is

shedding a torch light on the needless deaths of many Nursing Home occupants.

[crickets]

4. Watching the DVR now

and the conversation about first year medical school students going into a national service program is heartening.

A new round of Rooseveltian solutions is coming, in spite of the worst efforts of conservatives to stamp out the vestiges of the New Deal from generations back.

5. An artist who paints with words.

6. + agree. nt

7. Can a broadcast journalist be awarded a Pulitzer Prize? Dr Maddow exceeds all expectations.

[Upthevibe]

8. I've often thought there needs to be a special award just for her...

I predict that in the future there will be a "Rachel Maddow Award of Excellence in Journalism" that will be given to those who excel in this arena.

9. Yes

Totally agree, she clarifies everything perfectly

[yaesu]

10. I would love to see her get the Medal of Freedom when we have a real president in office instead of

the criminal con artist we have now.

[Gothmog]

11. I also love Rachel and love the way that she frames issues

[milestogo]

12. She has passion and empathy.

In dark times she's the person I want to hear the news from.
