Kudos and Thanks to Rachel Maddow

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

27. She is the real deal. I saw a live taping of her show at a local tavern

back when Christine "I am not a witch" O'Donnell was running to fill Biden's Senate seat in Delaware.

Rachel was magnificent. She had an aura of greatness about her. She was on top of everything. In control of everything, but with kindness & respect to her staff. She was serious about her job, working every minute and kept her cool in a barroom full to the brim of noisy people. Even though they'd paid to see her, you know how crowds are. But she was able to tune it all out, on her laptop rewriting scripts and probably directing various aspects of what the staff was doing.

I hate being in crowded spaces, but the minute I heard we could get tickets I was on it. I'm so glad we were there to see her in person.
