Revival.

I love Rachel Maddow. She very rarely rips into the public, but this one was priceless:




I don't have cable at home, and work nights, so from 12-3 I clean to MSNBC. I have been watching Olbermann and Maddow pretty regularly for the last couple of years (since spring '08) and I think this election cycle is the best her show has ever been. While Olbermann can have a preachy tone, I jive with Maddow's sarcastic humor. She manages to ask hard and direct questions without coming off as an asshole.

She is successfully blending the The-lead-in-to-our-show-are-talking-puppets-making-prank-phone-calls attitude with the Wolf-Blitzer-serious-news. She is a serious reporter who doesn't take herself too seriously.
