A different take on a Maddow diary...I was blown away by that Richard Engel segment.

Me too, I think I watched it all 3 times and was very excited to see if you'd mention it. Was it just us or was the whole exchange a little...not flirty but for some reason Rachel is adorably sheepish and has on lipgloss as she makes the recap and if you turn town the sound? It looks for all the world like she's mouthing "No, Susan, I KNOW, it's like...okay like Melissa Etheridge was married to that really hot chick...no, the one before that and they were THE lesbian couple but then all of a sudden she met this man and wasn't gay anymore?"

We wishful think like that if only because she turned Engel from the baddest ass in the world to the most adorably excited, wanting to impress a girl boy in the world.

I'd watch it again!

Oh, great, another wishful-thinking threeway. Maybe a little better than the KO one because I wouldn't have to prepare with flashcards first.(of course, I still *would*.)
But there is totally a side of Rachel that turns every lefty dude into a pre-teen with the most awesome handstand ever. KO, Chris Hayes, even Engel. "Rachel, watch me. I can totally talk to this Iraqi dude. All by myself. If you would like, I can tell him how awesome you are."
Can't fault them...she shifts my Kinsey score, too.

I don't know though man, KO and Hayes both adore and respect her but know she's not really their type...I mean aside from the obvious complication. I get the idea Engel doesn't know that and struggles to maintain a relationship with the reality of the situation.

What WAS that?!

If she liked guys, I think they would be the couple.

I ADORE Richard and Rachel together. (They're certainly a key part of my mental High-School AU with Rachel, Chris, Kent et al.) Whenever they're on screen together the affection just jumps across the airwaves and they're just so damn interesting and intelligent on top of that. I learned more about the Iraq War from those segments than I think I've known the whole time. I hope to god that Richard is writing a book because I would read the shit out of that.

Said he wrote one already called "Fist in A Hornet's Nest" or something.
I'm gonna have to read it.

Yeah...in the high school fic, he'd be a risk-loving guy that would set off the fire alarm to get someone he cared about out of trouble.
