I NEED that #Maddow flail as a animated gif. *makes with the grabby hands*

Score!

Can't wait to see them. Tell them "We're so proud!"

I don't know if I can handle the combined awesomeness of Rachel Maddow and the likes of Abby Wambach and Megan Rapinoe, on my TV machine, at the same time.

Best. Segment. Ever.

Terrific planning! Maybe Rachel could greet them with a fancy cocktail for the festive occasion?

Please tell the players how joyful (despite or because the nailbiters) US world cup soccer has been to watch, since the women's game raised the bar to quite a level!

Will keep this broad-/podcast on my machine for quite a while- maybe until 2012...?

Rachel needs to pay Kermit the Frog royalties for that flail of joy.

I will eagerly await the soccer players' observations on the debt-ceiling issue.

I watched their game at UBurger in Boston before the Mana concert across the street. Alex Morgan's fast break goal and the assist to Wambach's header were electrifying.

Rachel's reaction to getting Team USA on last night (total fangrrrl) was hysterical!

And was remarkably similar to my reaction as well.

I'm worried that Maddow and Pinoe together will be too much awesomeness for my TV to handle. #hairshowdown

Abby, Abby, Abby...Rapinoe, Rapinoe, Rapinoe...Best. TV. Ever. WHOA!

Oh and Rachel too!

FWIW those ladies not only gave my (adult) daughter a great birthday present (fantastic game, never mind the final score) but turned her into a football fan. The only spectator sport she cares about.

Are you worried about electing a president who's performance will suffer if their brains stop working?

Well Michele Bachmann says that her migraines have no effect on her abilities at all. I suppose she concluded that thinking isn't her strong suit, and so has avoided it for years.

I SO can't wait! You think Rachel could be any more excited? lol

These gals have had a heck of a schedule since Sunday.. I saw them all on GMA this morning. Now 4 will be here with Rachel.. Abby W and Hope Solo will be on Letterman tonite.

We are so proud of them. I would much rather see a team like this who played their hearts out with class and dignity than those chest pounding prima donnas that so permeate professional sports.

(Not the first one to note this, I know, but) There were a couple of seconds where Rachel did the best job I've ever seen by a non-Muppet channelling Kermit The Frog. The only thing missing was 'yaayyyyyyyyy' --

There's even the historical echo -- Kermit generally did that as a reaction to a guest booking!

I watched your show tonight and saw where yoiu used an old clip of Ronald Reagan speaking about debt ceilings. Did you know that the Gipper had made a statement concerning profits made by big businesses versus the working class back in 1948? I think you will find this VERY interesting to give a "listen". Of course, this was made when he was a Democrat. I think if many Republicans heard this today their heads would spin off their shoulders! For your perusal: http://youtu.be/uJDhS4oUm0M
Please consider sharing this video with your viewers as I am quite certain they would get quite a kick out of it! Your loyal fan from Ohio.

I almost forgot...What do you get when all the vowels are removed from Reince Priebus?
