The Rachel Maddow Show was pre-empted Thursday night. For those who need a fix, here’s a classic clip: Rachel and the fantastic Melissa Harris-Lacewell on Michael Steele’s erstwhile attempt to get beyond the cutting edge.

Please check back Monday for a full recap of Maddow favorite Ana Marie Cox’s first shot as a guest host. Based on Ms. Cox’s past appearances on the show, it should be a treat.
