And people can establish credibility on their own say-so as long as nobody follows the trail and calls them out on it. Rachel Maddow
I have a constitutional weakness in which I am very easily distracted by flashing lights. If there is a TV on in the room, I can't have a conversation with you. I won't eat, I won't sleep, I'll just meld with my couch. Rachel Maddow

Overall, we're weaker for it, and at enormous cost. Rachel Maddow
Rachel Maddow quote: "It's not just the small-potatoes post-9/11 Homeland spending..."
It's not just the small-potatoes post-9/11 Homeland spending that feels a little off mission. It's the big-ticket stuff too. Rachel Maddow
If something is being done on a secret basis in national security, that's a great reason for elected officials to not talk about it. And that's a great way to shirk accountability for it with the public. Rachel Maddow
If the colonists hadn't rejected British militarism and the massive financial burden of maintaining the British military, America wouldn't exist. Rachel Maddow
Rachel Maddow quote: "I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational, but I don't think..."
I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational, but I don't think that translates into anger. Rachel Maddow
Rachel Maddow quote: "I think service is honorable, and that was always inculcated..."
I think service is honorable, and that was always inculcated in me. Rachel Maddow
The problem that I think is reasonable to assert about Fox and its coverage is that they make up stories out of whole cloth and then make a big deal out of them. Rachel Maddow
