Rachel Maddow Is Filthy Rich and Morally Bankrupt

It must be nice to be Rachel Maddow, haircut aside, I mean. Being paid $30 million a year to work 1 day per week ranks up there with Bobby Bonilla Day, when the former major leaguer, who retired in 2001, get a check for more than $1 million thanks to his contract with the New York Mets. The difference is, Bonilla actually had to do something back in the day to get that deal, Maddow just had to sit on her ass and lie. Bonilla broke a sweat from effort and work, Maddow sweats from bright lights and the stress that someone watching her might decide to look up what she says for themselves. The fear of being caught has to be awful at that level. Rachel Maddow is filthy rich and morally bankrupt.

One of the original mouthpieces of the Russia hoax, this “intellectual leader” of the left has not met a conspiracy theory she has not bought into, especially the ones she pushes. If it involves Republicans, no matter who cooked it up, there’s a chance she’ll at least pay lip service to the idea on a show.  

At least, that’s how it used to be. It’s hard to be tinfoil hat central working only one day per week. One hour, actually, or really only 44 or so minutes with commercials. The illuminati never rests, and neither does Donald Trump, especially with the time difference between Florida and Moscow – those order don’t send themselves. 

But there she is, Monday nights at 9:00, ready to read the equivalent of AOC’s dream journal off the teleprompter. One thing you can say about Rachel Maddow is she puts on a hell of a show. It has as much substance as an air sandwich, but she performs it like a champion. 

And make no mistake, it is a performance. Watch her with the sound off and you’ll see what the Muppet Show must look like to the deaf – the Beaker look-a-like mugs for the camera, rolls her eyes, looks up with a combination of “aw, shucks” and “can you believe these people?” It’s uncanny. 

More than what she says is what she leaves unsaid; what she implies. 

Rachel Maddow is not stupid, which is not to say she’s smart.She’s more intelligent than everyone on Morning Joe combined, but that’s like saying someone is just a little bit smarter than a shoe – it’s probably technically accurate, but don’t want to lead your resume with it.

She’s a marketer of herself, a good one. Rachel a Rhodes Scholar, but that’s a self-selecting group; an award you have to actively seek, it does not seek its recipients. And, as Bill Clinton demonstrated, character doesn’t really play a role.

Character doesn’t play a role in Maddow’s professional life, as with most “progressives” it is “agenda über alles,” written in its original German for both effect and accuracy. 

Maddow fully supports Joe Biden’s purchasing of votes fromyoung people with his student loan “for-giving” plan. It’s a plan where he and other Democrats are “for giving the debts of people who willingly made bad decisions, either to attend a college that was way more expensive than they needed (likely to get that institution’s name on their diploma) or majored in unmarketable douchebaggery to people who acted responsibly,” namely we taxpayers. Hell, I’d be one of the world’s greatest philanthropists if I have unfettered access to other people’s money, and I was a sociopath desperate to hold onto power.  

Since even half that wouldn’t fit on the bumper of a Prius, and the truth of the situation does not advantage Democrats, they have to lie about what they’re doing. They have to make it about some perverted form of justice or how evil banks are. And right there, making the case with a smirk on her face is MSNBC’s own Axis Sally.

Maddow delivered a monologue Monday for the ages, a moment of television ranking up there with Baghdad Bob with the tanks rolling in over his shoulder. It was typical mugging coupled with lies about banks. “Republicans are suing to make sure that Americans have to pay more in student loans, to make sure that you have to pay more interest to banks.” 

It’s unlikely her audience, which skews older (like all of cable “news”), has outstanding student loans, so she’s ultimately pushing Soylent Green on vegans. They are the ones being saddled with the debts of others, those suffering from inflation brought on by reckless spending. It’s hard to feel sorry for someone complaining of a headache while you watch them repeatedly bang their head against a wall. 

That they’re dumb enough to believe her is a testament to the failures of the education system. There is, however, little chance Rachel believed what she was saying. She’s not stupid, she’s evil. 

So, as she finished reading her script and performing the side-to-side head shake made famous by Bill Cosby eating pudding with a pocket full of quaaludes, she knew she just lied to her country. But it was a “noble lie,” in her opinion. The worst people always find ways to justify their most egregious actions. “Isn’t that what America most needs, for banks to make more money off people who took out loans to go to college? Isn’t that really, morally, isn’t that a real justice issue for America?” 

It actually is. Personal responsibility and holding people accountable for their action is the essence of justice.

It’s cute to hear Rachel Maddow opine on morality, like getting marital advice from OJ Simpson or discussing how to modernize the postal service with Ted Kaczynski. The other two are dead, while only Rachel’s decency is. Maybe it’s more accurate to compare it to getting financial advice from Sam Bankman-Fried or help on your autobiography from Joe Biden? Whatever the case, she’s a dry well when it comes to honesty. She has more money than God, and the complex to match. Only God has standards and would never whore himself out for a political agenda. That’s exactly where Beaker lives.
