3. I love Rachel!

I download her program audio-only podcast every night it is available. Unfortunately on these special nights MSNBC does not put it up.

Yes! She is a seriously geeky wonk! But she has done such good reporting where everybody else feared to tread.

She helped break Bridgegate and went far beyond any other program in exposing it.

She was the first national broadcaster to host their program from Flint, MI. She gets credit for bringing that issue to national prominence as well.

Then there was the horrible Exxon oil disaster in the Gulf when she moved her entire production to NOLA to report on conditions there for days! For days!

And Bernie and Hillary have both appeared on her program more than once. (Probably Bernie more than Hillary, I'd admit.)

And that is just a start.

Have I told you that I love Rachel?

I really do. You should, too.

My best.
