A number of things have become clear during Rachel Maddow’s time substituting for Keith Olbermann on Countdown, including:
- Much of Olbermann’s style of delivery is built into the style his writers have developed.
- Maddow should, and almost certainly will, have her own national television show in the near future.
- Maddow’s understanding of this new FISA bill is much more sophisticated than Olbermann’s.
I’ve embedded the clip below, wherein Jonathan Turley says he is “astonished” and “obviously disappointed” by Obama’s stance on the bill, and asserts that “the marrow of the Fourth Amendment is coming out of the bone [...] and it’s being done for political convenience; there’s not an ounce of principal, not an ounce of public interest in this legislation.”
As Maddow says, it’s “gut-wrenching” to see this disastrous bill carried into law on the backs of Democrats.

I am so disgusted that there is no accountability for illegal acts. I guess it’s going to be business as usual. It’s a sad day for all of us that hoped for more.
