The Rachel Maddow Show:
Okay, Arianna Huffington guest-hosted for Rachel Maddow last night. I think we can all agree that Arianna's performance is another reason to love Huck Maddow.

I have no idea how I could have missed this! My girlfriend (Rachel Maddow), in response to Sarah Palin's accusation that pajama-wearing bloggers are making things up about her, wears pajamas during her broadcast to show her solidarity with bloggers. She said she's basically a blogger on TV. [Via Think Progress]
Even more Rachel to love.

I hadn't seen Rachel Maddow's take on the Prop 8 post-election issues. I've been wondering what her take on this is. And I'm thinking that she waited just a bit to get all of the information in. A pundit scholar! She is becoming one of our best voices.
At the end of the interview, I think what Maddow was getting at was that there might be an opportunity for Republicans to exploit African-American ambivalence on the issue of gay marriage to swoop in and scoop up at least some of the African-American vote in the coming years. We'll see.
