Maddow shows how journalism should be done

This may just be Rachel Maddow’s finest hour. Here’s a full ten minutes of pure, unadulterated and unrestrained ass-kicking delivered to the Republican Party and its transparently and endlessly hypocritical senators, naming names and revealing how they consistently vote against the very policies they originally demand – and then have the sheer gall to take credit for them when they work. Everyone, take notes: this is how you conduct proper journalism.

If Internet memes were reality, the GOP would have collapsed on itself under the gravity of the amounts of hypocrisy present in it and would have reached critical mass years ago.

Rachel Maddow for President! (Well, either she or Jon Stewart. The runner-up can be Vice President. And Stephen Colbert can be … whichever position is the third highest-up. Or maybe Speaker of the House.^[1])

^[1] Yes, I’ve now learned that Speaker of the House actually is the third-highest position in the government. Oh, idle ignorance, you betray me.
