Life is too short to engage in eternal fisking.
 
But she does have her uses: Maddow is an outlier who lets us know what bizarre notions the more rabid and radically uninformed segment of the progressive world is feasting on. As we begin the war to take back the culture and the media, it’s good to know the most outré forms of opposition and rationalization we’re going to run into.
 
Also, I take heart knowing that she doesn’t exactly have national prominence or all that big a following. Yesterday’s TV viewership numbers (tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com), admittedly a snapshot, show her with 1.27 million viewers—roughly 1 in every 250 Americans is tuning in to her. You get the feeling that watching a butch Marxist prevaricator just isn’t all that entertaining for the great majority of us.
