She looks *very* "dyke-y," and that will turn off some viewers. Ms. Maddow will be much more effective in her new role if she softens her look a little. But, as Ellen DeGeneres has demonstrated, a woman doesn't have to wear a skirt or heels to be likeable. In Ms. Maddow's case, I think it's more a matter of changing the hairstyle and losing the plaid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-33649012620710510702008-09-08T15:10:00.000-04:002008-09-08T15:10:00.000-04:00I know a lot of people in my class probably won't ...I know a lot of people in my class probably won't have much of a clue what I'm talking about, but I'll definitely try to pose the issue one way or another.

Anyone who ...I think we should consider the source. Anyone who watches Olbermann regularly has heard him debunk all kinds of NY Post stories about him. They seem to be fascinated with Keith-bashing so by default, it's probably started with his MSNBC protege Maddow as well. Or it could be an exaggeration. I'm sure they don't want her to appear on-air as she is the rest of the day, but all of that was probably worked out before she signed on for the show. She seems like a strong woman who knows who she is. And they need her more than she needs them. If she pierces her ears and starts wearing pearls, that's when it's time to panic!Shaijinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594341312226397896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-34202209352578761702008-09-08T14:39:00.000-04:002008-09-08T14:39:00.000-04:00You know what, I have Women's Studies in...about a...You know what, I have Women's Studies in...about an hour.

On the other hand, all female newscasters are probably subjected to the same thing if their style isn't 'glam' enough for primetime. So not a gay thing, necessarily, but a woman thing, definitely. It's bullshit, but it happens, and I'd rather have Maddow's mind on TV, even in a skirt, than have her not get the exposure. Hopefully eventually she'll be powerful enough that she can choose her own wardrobe, until then, I'm assuming she's choosing to play the game and climb the ladder. I wish her luck.Sabertooth Screaming Lemurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299284382384619823noreply@blogger.com
