Last night’s Rachel Maddow show was pretty much all over the place as far as issues go. Granted, I often chafe at the cute factor lately and thinks she forgets that Obama is a moderate and likely will never go as left as much as she’d like – or even as much as I’d like. The difference? I realized that early and back most of his moves anyway.

That said, there was some good coverage on some pretty key issues yesterday so I figured I’d post them up for anyone interested. Here’s the transcript.

First up is our soldier captured by the Taliban that the GOP is apparently willing to write off to be killed by his captors. Real patriots, those asshats. PVT Bergdahl, get home safely.

Also, more coverage of the twits trying to screw us out of health care.

More on the House on C Street and the Talibangelical cult members who live there:

The real gem of last night’s show was the following clarification and correcting of Pat Buchanan’s racist screed from the other night. Honestly, THIS is why Maddow’s style works even though it may fall flat on the petty stuff.

Even House Twit Kent Jones had a decent segment.

I had these segments broken up well but since Flash died and MSNBC does a HORRIBLE job of archiving, I’ve had to pull what I can from archive.org and it is just damn hard to get things cut up just so.
