Rachel is still on vacation, and Wednesday night The Rachel Maddow Show was replaced with yet more Michael Jackson coverage. So let’s act out by being childish.

First, a clip that I have chosen because it is newly relevant, given the recent flap over Robert Gibbs calling on Huffington Post blogger Nico Pitney during a White House press conference. I might also have been influenced by Rachel’s multiple references to the “hooker guy” who had mysteriously free access to the White House during Bush’s administration.

And next, a personal favorite: Rachel calls bullpuckey. Enjoy.

Those of you with DTs or other withdrawal symptoms, be strong: there are only a few more days to get through. Check back here Friday and Monday for more favorite clips to keep you going.
