TODAY'S SHOW: MONDAY, MAY 19TH 2008

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel

The Senate is probably going to vote on the new GI Bill tomorrow and our guest Paul Rieckhoff from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America thinks that it just might pass despite John McCain's auspicious opposition to it. If it does pass, the bill will end up on Bush's desk. Will Bush be the first president in history to veto a veterans' benefits bill during war time? Find out if your Senators have signed on to the bill HERE.  If they haven't, them HERE

Rachel will also be talking to Jeff Sharlet, contributing editor at Harper's and Rolling Stone, about his latest book, “The Family: The Secret
Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power”

 

Can you address this non MSM issue?

Hi Rachel,

I love your show and find it the most rational, logic based show on AAR. It is great to see you on Olbermann, and even better they have replaced, the other fill-ins (Stewart, etc.) with someone who provides some thought, instead of just going off the script!

I was hoping you could address this issue, that I do not believe is reaching the MSM and is being completely ignored. Having just taken part in the Obama Rally here in Portland, I am hoping this is not a derogatory comment on the HRC campaign, but rather a very striking contradiction made by both the campaign & by her supporters.

I feel, they are claiming they are being slighted by sexism, when in fact, a large argument they make is they will only vote for HRC because she is a women and the nation [read:women supporters] are entitled to have a woman President. Is not their argument not unto itself "Sexist"?

I outline it here on my blog that I have recently started

I passed this on to Keith as well, but his comment posts, tend to never appear or appear sporatically:(

Thank you! I look forward to more of your shows, maybe MSNBC will replace their one-term Republican wonderboy, Joe Scarborough, with you! :)
