See Rachel Maddow get mad. See Rachel Maddow pout. See Rachel Maddow rant. Ahhhh, this is television at its finest.
Turns out Rachel’s upset about what she calls “fake court, off-shore tribunals.” You know, the kind that have been held for hundreds of years, the kind that have been approved by the Supreme Court. In other words, the kind liberals hate most.
Maddow: “That sort of tells you everything you need to know about how the beltway sees the relationship between the Democratic party and the Democratic party’s base …But a Democratic president kicks his base in the teeth on something as fundamental as civil liberties, he puts the nail in coffin of a civil liberties promise he made on his first full day in office and does it on the first day of his reelection effort? The beltway reaction to that is, good move … That’s the difference between Republican politics and Democratic politics.
Pardon us while we laugh our asses off. Feel free to join us.
