Maddow's interview was good. Nicole Wallace's (12/5) was Excellent.

Very true. But to be fair Nicole has known and understands Cheney and Rachel doesn't.

Nichole has the same dedicated Republican background as Liz, so she probably shares the gut revulsion at what Trump has done to the Republican Party. TFG was nominally a Democrat until 2012, and I can imagine the rage I would feel if he had done that to my party. I share RachelтАЩs marveling at newfound admiration for Cheney (tax policy is one thing, but this is democracy!).

I'm trying to envision a Nicole Wallace interview being excellent. Meadow is a thoughtful intellectual. Wallace is anything but.

I know that many, many people feel that way about Maddow, and I know she has done some exceptional work with podcasts and books, but I canтАЩt watch her. She prattles on incessantly or reads court documents or newspapers to us. The night Cheney was on, Rachel ran her mouth for 30 minutes straight. With all the commercials in the second half, we got about 15 minutes of Cheney. It reminded me that if she has a guest I would like to hear, I wonтАЩt get to really hear them on her show.

I don't like Maddow's liberal politics. But I have enormous respect for the homework she does for each program. Other hosts rely on multiple guests to fill the time. They don't put in the homework

Nicole's interview was excellent for a number of reasons. Cheney was more comfortable with Wallace and was more open about some things. That let Nicole ask her more pointed questions and get better answers.

I like Nicole Wallace. Listen to every podcast.

I like Rachel Maddow too, but often need a break from her affectations in delivery.
