I like Maddow, but come on, she is super annoying to listen to, talks too fast, and it takes her a minimum of 10 minutes to make a point on her show. I try to watch her show every other day and when she starts out with the stories to make a point I know I'm in for 15 minutes of drivel to make her points. She talks to her audience like we're CHILDREN. Doesn't that annoy anyone else? I'm older than Maddow as are a lot of her listeners, and I wish she'd quit talking to her audience like we're in 2nd grade.
