TODAY'S SHOW: WEDNESDAY, MAY 7TH 2008
Did you go to bed last night thinking that Hillary would be endorsing Obama by early this morning and then experienced confusion when you woke up only to see her campaigning hard as ever in West Virginia? If so, it is not your fault. The media had all but pronounced her dead, D-E-D, DEAD. But as Rachel's been saying for weeks there is no primary that will push her to step down. Only the super delegates can push her out. So that is what Rachel will be talking about-- the super delegate math and political realities of having a Clinton in the race. In the first hour Rachel will talk to Rolling Stone contributor Matt Taibbi about his new book, The Great Derangement, and then David Bender will join Rachel in the third hour to talk about the media creations in this Democratic primary.
MENTIONED ON TODAY'S SHOW

Super delegates retain their own criteria for picking a candidate
FBI agents raid the office of the government agency that protects whistle blowers... on accusations that it was targeting whistle blowers in its own ranks
Slappy and Snarky...late night primary coverage
Yes, we watched the whole thing, right to the end. At about 10pm MST we were getting a little slappy and started poking fun at most anything, Chris spitting on people, Chuck spending the weekend playing Xbox in his unders listening to Black Sabbath. It was really getting goofy.
So we changed the channel to Fox News. All these old guys trying to keep there eyes open and the hubby says: "During the commercial break on Fox it's shots of red bull with a geritol chaser."
Once we stopped crying from laughter it was back to MSNBC where Pat had somehow taken on two red cups to Rachel's none. "He can't steal the show for her, so he just took her coffee."
Hill was out of it before, she is way out there now... but, you can't say we don't enjoy the political process. :)
