Rachel Maddow Talks Wall Street, Limbaugh On Leno

Rachel Maddow fulfilled her duties as NBC phenom by appearing on “The Tonight Show” while she was in LA (for the second time — watch her previous appearance here) Tuesday night. Leno opened by congratulating Maddow on her surging ratings but then the two got down to business: talking AIG, Wall Street, and, of course, Rush Limbaugh.

Watch their interview below — and if you’re hungry for more Maddow, she’ll be on “The View” tomorrow, presumably with some lighter fare.

Gay Bishop Says Obama ‘Stands With Us’ on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show

Appearing on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show, openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson said President-elect Barack Obama “stands with us,” and signaled he was ready to move past the controversy of his invitation.

Robinson is the controversial New Hampshire Episcopal bishop whose consecration in 2003 has split the Anglican Church.

He has been invited to give an opening prayer at a Sunday inaugural event attended by Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Obama is scheduled to speak at the event which will be broadcast on HBO.

The announcement has resurrected the controversy surrounding the choice of Rev. Rick Warren to give the invocation prayer at the January 20 inaugural ceremony, a prologue to Obama’s historic inaugural address. Gay activists say Warren is homophobic. He likened gay marriage to an incestuous relationship and polygamy, and supported passage of a controversial California gay marriage ban.
