Today's TRMS
Today's show will feature a very special reading from Winnie the Pooh that relates to foreign policy (you'll have to listen to find out how) and the Rachel Maddow Show debut of a video made by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) that professes his, um, largeness.
Rachel's guests today are David Bender, host of Air America's Sunday show Politically Direct, and Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

You gotta L-O-V-E that Embroidered Fringed Leather Jacket...
and that no one talked him out of wearing it.
But do you really want to emphasize that although you're BIG,
You "come from Texas where we do things QUICK." ?
I guess that's okay as long as you "stand STRAIGHT" and "talk STRAIGHT" or whatever the hell the lyrics say. Thanks, RACHEL...That was hella funny!
Beautiful production values (I'd love to know the budget), nice graphics, and product placement (Wrangler), but if I want sepia-tinted Western vistas I'll watch a bank or steakhouse commercial or (far better) find a DVD of 'HUD' with Paul Newman, Patricia Neal, Melvyn Douglas and Brandon DeWilde and enjoy some content with my excellent James Wong Howe cinematography.
