Just heard on MSNBC …Chris Matthews and Tom Brokaw both gave props to the new host on the block, Rachel Maddow, for using the word “post-rational” to describe Hillary Clinton supporters who won’t support Barack Obama.

It’s a word Maddow has used before — to describe Clinton’s own campaign hopes.

On another note, it was quite nice to see Maddow get fired up about the Clinton-turned-McCain supporter who said the Republican nominee won’t overturn Roe v. Wade. Maddow’s expression of disbelief was priceless — I haven’t heard a male pundit so incredulous about a key point of ignorance on which this campaign could turn.
