Mad Props for Maddow

Rachel Maddow gets her own TV digs.

Mad Props for Maddow

Regular Air American Dr. Rachel Maddow will be filling the slot (settle down, girls) of a rescheduled and repositioned Dan Abrams on MSNBC and getting her own show beginning Monday, September 8.

When the good doc, out lesbian, and Rhodes scholar began making regular guest appearances as a commentator on various news programs, much was made about the "look-softening" she underwent in her trek from radio to television. Well, everyone knows TV adds about 10 pounds of dyke to anyone with short hair.

We can only hope that at some juncture, the glasses will make a comeback. Not that we're biased.
