Rachel Maddow points out,”Expression of an opinion of the new reporters cover is, frankly sometimes part of covering the news.” She plays clips of Anderson Cooper and Shepard Smith after Hurricane Katrina.

Maddow then shows a promo of the Tax Party Protests,”The difference between Fox and news is Fox is actively promoting a protest against the US government.” She then points out mustache man John Stossel, recently hire by Fox is touring the country headlining forums against health care reform.

Maddow adds,”One of these things is really not like the other.”

Comedian Eddie Izzard is perhaps one of the funniest people on this or any other planet. He’s brilliant.

The self-proclaimed Executive Transvestite just ran 43 marathons in 51 days. And, yes, we checked “marathon” in Great Britain is still 26.2 miles. So, for some reason (charity) Izzard decided to do this and finished and wow…we have the same respect/horror for him as for someone who shoots drugs into an abscess.

But here’s the thing, dude who likes to dress like a lady, good luck wearing high-heeled shoes. Your humble bumble editor here runs marathons and you’ll never see us in anything other than Rachel Maddow sneakers and yes, even to weddings and Blogger Proms.

Rachel Maddow‘s in-house comedian Kent Jones sums it up, “An inspiring story for anyone who ever had the dream of stopping other people’s dreams.”

Previously on FBLA:

We overheard at a cocktail party, someone describe Matt Taibbi as the only journalist alive that could possibly have groupies.

No, Rachel Maddow is technically not a journalist. Just chill, ladies. No letters.

He writes in Rolling Stone:

The best way to understand the financial crisis is to understand the meltdown at AIG. AIG is what happens when short, bald managers of otherwise boring financial bureaucracies start seeing Brad Pitt in the mirror.

What the hell is wrong with George Wayne and who the hell thought it would be a good idea for him, of all people, to interview Rachel Maddow for Vanity Fair?

Anyway, Miss “Cable Queen,” as Vogue calls you, do you suffer from any paraphilia?
Paraphilia?

Listen to this saucy pedant. Paraphilia is having a rare erotic fetish. Perhaps you may indulge in eproctophilia?
Duh?

Darling! Eproctophiliacs are those sexually turned on by farts and farting!
That word actually exists?

It is the current rage of Mayfair high society in jolly, kinky London. G.W. will admit to his Caesarophilia-erotic fascination with royalty. Especially that redhead Prince Harry. G.W. has been fantasizing more than ever of tossing that royal salad. I would floss every strand of that red burr to perfection!
He did just break up with his girlfriend.

The whole awkward exchange is here.

Our rabid – unwavering girl-crush aside – this is the perfect example of pearls before swine.

We like how Rachel Maddow always does her interviews in those giant horn-rimmed glasses.

Anyway, Jon Stewart takes on the media in their coverage of the Obama girls. And then uses the analogy that MSNBC is like The Munsters and Maddow is Marilyn.

Our thanks to our sister blog TVNewser for this.

Arianna Huffington was the fill-in last night on the Rachel Maddow Show.

We would like to know if they paid her or was it just really good exposure. Cough.
