In one of his most amusing questions for all the candidates in this week's Republican debate, Wolf Blitzer asked the ten candidates what role Bush would play in their theoretical administration. It was funny watching the stooges on stage struggle to sound somewhat admiring of the man that makes it more difficult with each passing day for any of them or any Republican to take his place. Some like Tom Tancredo, didn't even bother to pretend they liked the man. Others, like Tommy Thompson, gave unintentionally hilarious answers. Rachel Maddow, in the video to your right, offers her own thoughts on where Bush should end up at the end of 2008.

Digg!

I'm in love with Rachel. Yeah, I know she's gay and I'm a straight male, but one can long from afar. Sigh....

Rachael did a great job of taking the candidates words and putting them in action. Very funny. Too much to be believed.

I am so into Rachel! her intellect, her clean treatment of the topics and her reasoning make for WONDERFUL reading and listening. Thanks, thanks, thanks for her videos. Don't stop.

The Pub and Repubs work so hard to make drivel believable and to foist form over substance dung, I'm amazed that no one vomits and needs EMS. I'm even more amazed that the American people that love these folks are so into power that they will swallow, affirm and propagate the crap as subtance and truth.

Nothing new here...nothing at all. I guess I keep hoping that if we keep pointing...like "Are you guys crazy?" that someone will at least ask better questions....better than the Wolfe questions designed to maximize conflict so we can have soap opera, or sports type set to's.

Can't think of a more enjoyable look at the assinine Repuke candidates. She let's their own words mire them in cow shit.
Keep up the great work, Rachael!
