Joe:
What I meant was this. Maddow not only went to Stanford, she also got a Ph D from Oxford, which is usually considered the best university in the world. She was also a Rhodes Scholar.
No doubt she is pretty bright.
I prefaced my final remark with a statement you should appreciate. It was from film director Martin Ritt about Richard Burton, which I hope you did not miss. Because most people, including me, think Burton wasted his talent, maybe even worse than Brando.
My very last statement parallels the old adage by Upton Sinclair: its hard to get a journalist to understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it.
Meaning Maddow likes the big money she is making now, and appreciates it a lot more than what she was getting back there in Northampton.
