Finally!

After seeing MSNBC talking heads continue to treat Pat Buchanan like the lovable but misguided uncle for far too long, Rachel Maddow decided to call a spade a spade on her show tonight during Buchanan's guest appearance.

During his spot, he continued to (not surprisingly) embarrass himself (and the network) by making several claims, including one humdinger that suggested certain people are "naturally" good at certain things--using African Americans on the USA track team as his example.

Outrageous doesn't even cover it.

But Rachel Maddow continued to prove her skill as an effective pundit and stopped the MSNBC practice of politely giving him a pass and instead coolly and calmly, but forcefully, called him out on his views.

More recap below...

Hey Everybody!

Today, be sure you eat GREEN ice pops in solidarity with Iran. That way your tongue will turn green and you will be part of a Real Progressive Movement. You can show your solidarity every time you talk and expose your green tongue.

Ok, After thinking about it today, I'm on board with respecting the Palin family's privacy and letting them deal with this private issue, well, privately. Can I make one small request, in return, however?

A couple years ago I took a group of college women's basketball players overseas for an exhibition tour of games. While in Amsterdam we spent one afternoon at the Rijksmuseum and before going in, the tour guide explained the cultural significance of the Rijks: It is considered one of the most revered museums in the world and of course houses priceless works of art. An art lover myself, I couldn't WAIT to see the Rijks. As we began walking through, however, I suddenly became very uncomfortable.

I wish Obama would not distance himself from Jeremiah Wright. I wish he would use his public platform during his speech on Tuesday to raise the important issue of racism in this country. I wish he would point out that our government is not dominated by old white men because they are smarter than the rest of us. I wish he would make the same point about CEOs, college professors, doctors, engineers and media members (to name a few).

This is my first official dailykos entry and I’m not sure why this topic over other important social issues compelled me to write today, but I do know I am angry. While our politicians have addressed many important issues in the recent debates, they are not addressing a major internal problem in our country right now: the tinder box we call race relations. Why is it not on the agenda? Keeping the focus on terrorism and Iran and the need for a "safe" America where we can all live in pursuit of happiness, allows us to conveniently forget the problem of racism in this country. But a recent incident in Pasadena, Texas, has ignited a match.
