GO Rachel !!!!
Rachel made it clear that the documentary shown Monday night did NOT reflect the Tenth anniversary of Bush’s ill-advised war, but the BUILDUP to it. There will be other documentaries right about the Tenth Anniversary itself I have no doubt. “I have no doubt”? Isn’t that the phraseology Darth Cheney used? I’d stake my reputation on Bill Moyers’ presenting an even more devastating documentary…I have nothing to lose.
Wow — excellent numbers for Rachel Maddow’s documentary. The documentary itself was both fascinating as well as scary. Bush, Cheney and co. are downright evil to sell America the war under false pretenses. That infamous line during Bush’s SOTU will go down in history as his legacy.
Rachel and Lawrence for the Win!
Ouch!!! That’s gotta hurt!
MSNBC kills FOX News in the demo at 9 and 10!
It appears that the MSNBC special on Iraq was a network effort because it wasn’t attributed to Rachel. So, down you little Maddow Madcows, now sit. A spike here for CNN, a spike there for MSNBC…it sticks out sometimes because Fox always wins in the long run.
Somebody is posting as me again. Editors: Please remove imposter.
It is amazing how hypocritical people can be. Say ANYTHING negative about this Presidents policies, not about him, and immediatly you are branded for life. Yet, in here, routinely, Bush and Cheney are called all sorts of names and somehow that is ok.
@ Robbie
Its sad isn’t it. They write their own version of history and then sit at the coffee house and yap about it like its fact.
AC360 did much better at 8pm than at 10pm. His 10pm averages are usually better, but 8pm is when he has a clear shot at being #2.

I’ve noticed. That has been going on for a while. You must have got under somebody’s skin.
The post attributed to me at 2:08PM is NOT ME. Mods: Please remove imposter.
I would not post as someone else. @Sara Bibel: PLEASE remove the phony post and ban this person from posting again.
Thank you.
@Apple Stinx: >>> You must have got under somebody’s skin. <<< Isn't that the reason we post here?
I’ll bet the imposter is either “usa8888″ or “Mark2.”
My name is also Ralph Hahn. What a coincidence.
Or maybe it’s my split personality coming out who is a liberal?
You liberals screaming your heads off about how bush and cheney are evil liars really make my afternoon. you guys are comical.
Rachel ,WOW,what great ratings,Monday, for her documentary exposing Bush and his band of lying murderers.
If you don’t think Bush and Cheney did horrible things to this country, you’re extremely conservative and you’ll never say a bad thing about a Republican. If you’re a fair person, then you have to know that Bush’s time as President was a disaster.
I’d stake my reputation on Bill Moyers’ presenting an even more devastating documentary…I have nothing to lose.
You should be happy with the results, considering how slanted it will be.
