I must say I didn't like Rachel for a long time because she struck me as Olbermann's female clone. But after watching her show online I gotta say she's one of the better TV pundits. She actually invites conservatives/republicans on her show unlike Olbermann who refuses to let Pat Buchanan on for instance. I've never seen her lose her cool or yell at guests - she lets them talk, then she talks, then she lets them talk, etc.
No wonder her show is so successful. I wonder if Olbermann is jealous
