Maddow on Leno: Limbaugh 'Creepy' (Video)
NBC
Never one to veer away from controversy, MSNBC starlet Rachel Maddow appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Wednesday night and talked about how AIG bled money before coming back for more, Rush Limbaugh, and how President Obama can tackle all the big problems — like health care — at once.
"It’s hard to know who to be mad at," Maddow said about the financial meltdown and AIG’s troubles. "It’s very frustrating to not be able to just be mad and not give them what they want."
Regarding irresponsible bankers, she said: "We ought to be able to wring some justice out of these guys who did all this chicanery."
As for Limbaugh, who has been pitted against Republican National Party Chairman Michael Steele, Maddow insists that the shock jock’s antics simply give his enemies more immunities. "It’s good news for those who want the Republican Party to fail," she said. "Actually rooting for the failure of your federal government is pretty creepy."

"Actually rooting for the failure of your federal government is pretty creepy."
Yes, sometime I feel by the way everyone talks that we are still in election period time. As a country we need to come together and support our president.
She is much more confortable than the first time she was on Jay’s show.
I watch her every night, she explains potical situtions so well.
Mary, Madoow is sticking to the liberal playbook! Even she by now know what Limbaugh was referring to.
But to be a good gay little liberal who is so confuses on many levels she is playing by the orders she was given.
Look at Maddow photo above. Please.. what is that? What look is this? Who would want to be with this person?
Can we even call her a woman? There is nothing feminine about her?
Why would a full fledged beautiful attractive woman want to be with Maddow when she can be with a real red blooded man?
Maddow has a man look in appearence but she is still a woman.
So when she runs her pie hole and call Limbaugh "creepy" who is she kidding?
Look at her……the short little boy haircut, bold manly eyeglasses, the silly little boy shirt and girly man looks?
Who is "creepy" now?
I am not a fan of Rush Limbaugh, but I am a fan of the truth. Maddow, like Limbaugh, is an entertainer who makes a living pushing her own vision of the world. What Limbaugh actually said is that he wants President Obama, and more specifically, the Presidents left leaning policies to fail. He doesn’t want the federal government to fail. On the contrary, he feels that if the President fails in his vision for America that it would preserve America and her values. Maddow and Limbaugh are peas in a pod. The only difference between Maddow and Limbaugh is one is on the left and the other is on the right (and Maddow’s viewers are much less in numbers than that of Limbaugh’s listeners).
