Uppity Women #18

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is such a tough act to follow. But Rachel Maddow holds her own every night on MSNBC. A relative newbie to broadcast journalism, Maddow began her career in liberal journalism as part of the vast left wing media conspiracy that was Air America. She joined MSNBC in 2008 and by August of 2008, after substitute host experience on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, had her own show. Describing herself as a 'national security liberal' and non-partisan, she has continued to assail the foolishness of both the Republicans and Democrats and call legislators and big business lobbies to task.
