Rachel Maddow keeps 'em honest

When Rachel Maddow is on the Press the Meat panel, it becomes something other than a cocktail-weenie circle jerk:

It's interesting to note the conservatives on this panel and elsewhere insisting that the extreme right is not driving the party, as if wishing would make it so.

My one beef with Maddow is that she seems to go along with the idea that Alan Grayson in five minutes on the House floor, while he was recognized according to House rules to speak, is somehow equal to a relentless drumbeat of "Democrats want to kill grandma." But kudos to her for noting that Sarah Palin's book is associated with white supremacists and that it says something very telling about Sarah Palin that this is who she chose.
