Congrats on your show! Let me see if I have this thing about Sarah right. We are asked to accept her as “ready” to lead our country but not “ready” to answer media/voters’ questions? We are told she is being prepped. Does that mean given the questions in advance and the answers to provide? This insults voters’ intelligence. Funny, it almost smacks as more Executive Privilege. We don’t want to answer those questions so we are not going to show up. Duh…

Ummmmm… Anderson Cooper has been on TV for years. Though he does not wear the fact he’s gay on his sleeve, that does not make him any less valid.

Rachel Maddow is a very skilled individual. It’s a shame that she’s on a network that no one sees. She’d make a much better commentator on CNN or Fox News.

Former fan. Her Hillary bashing has been a complete “put off” for me. She reduces Senator Clinton to Bill’s spouse rather than what her own accomplishments are. “Do we really want him lurking around the White House”? Well, yes Rachel. His time in office was much better than any time recently and a woman is not merely the biproduct of her husband anyhow. It’s okay to support candidates that have always supported gay people. It doesn’t diminish you journalistically. Remember when as First Lady she marched in the Gay Pride Parade? People like Hillary made it possible for you non-Barbies to be accepted as intelligent, articulate, and worthy of higher positions. It took allot to get me to not want to hear another word out of your mouth.

When are they going to have any gay men as news anchors? It’s always the women getting the spotlight as television hosts. We need another Thomas Roberts!

I’ve been listening to Rachel since she began on Air America Radio, and I consider myself a fan. I always thought she had the look that was perfect for radio, but I must admit, she cleans up nice.

I admit I don’t know Rachel but I did see a lot of her on Tucker Carlson. I always thought she was an attractive feminine woman so it is a bit of a shock to read that she defines herself as butch.

I do find it condescending that she thinks the TV industry wants Barbi type. Yes in the visual media they want someone to be attractive but for the most part human attractiveness characterized by symmetrical features.

Though I like Rachel’s persona I still disagree with much of her political views. I hope she will be unlike the rest of the media and be objective.
