It seems Rachel came out of nowhere. I think the asswhippings she gave to Pat Buchanan really propelled her career. Not only is Rachel smart and not full of shit, like most pundits, she has a sense of humor – and this is important (in fact she is really laugh my balls off funny). So many pundits say silly things with a staight face you wonder what kind of drugs they are on. Seriously. Rachel spits it out, laughs a little, and moves on. No dicking around (I know – bad pun).
