      The birthers are such far out loons pushing a factually unsupportable position that speaking out against them makes anybody look good. So...watch for everyone to jump on the bandwagon...including some from the right. Bill O'Reilly is one of the first to jump on the wagon. Who's next?

      Lou, you have given Ms. Maddow and her friends years of laughter. To set the record straight, DUH, I believe for a female it would be a TEATbagging Queen.
      No malice intended of course.

            I used to abuse myself when I listened to Limbaugh for 3 minutes. Thanks to MMFA no one has to listen to Limbaugh to hear his nonsense. I'll bet his advertisers just love that.

      I like Rachel's response. Instead of a flat denial, she questions "Do you have any idea what you just called me?!?!?"

          Lou Dobbs's jounalistic "chops" have long left the building. CNN is slowly going the way of the Fox Noise Cabal because ratings matter more than facts.

          Rachel has always had my respect because she's a consumate pro. Lou Dobbs is just another Bill'o-the-Clown clone.

      Rachel is too funny. Loved her answer too, as well as "LOVE" her show on MSNBC. Too funny indeed.

      Maybe the BIRTHERS' and the rest of the world should be asking Lou Dobbs why he believes that Obama is a U.S. citizen. Demand proof from him or does he have it?

      Dobbs suffers from a delusional grandeur.get out man, get out before your bosses can you. You used to have a great knowledge of economic issues until someone spiked your kool-Aid.

        Maybe he felt that he was becoming irrelevant, and is making a play to join the Nutbag Brigade over at FOX. I'm sure the pay would be better; I heard this morning that they're paying Glenn Beck $30 million. Hell, I'd get on TV and make a fool of myself for half of that.

      Maddow did go a bit too far with all the "tea-bagging" commentary back in April. Especially when she claimed innocence on the double meaning of the term.

      But she does have a point that it is not possible for a woman to be a "tea-bagging queen." I guess she has educated herself on the different meanings of the term.

      Dobbs look out! Now you've gone and put your foot in it. You've got Rachel Maddow right where she wants YOU to be. She's one smart woman who you'll never be able to 'out tea-bag'.

      I thing a woman could definitely be a tea-bagging queen. More to the point is can a lesbian woman be one! Kinda a paradox, no?
