These Two

Rachel Maddow, our beloved big ole lesbian cable TV news commentator, and Ana Marie Cox, a frequent guest on Maddow's show, simply cannot contain their enthusiasm for each other. I've read, and, in fact, confirmed, with after all just a few degrees of lesbian separation between the Sapphist Gazetteer and Dr. Maddow, that Rachel has a girlfriend back home in Western Mass. Unfortunately, I have nothing to share about Ana Marie Cox because I have no idea who she is other than she writes for The Daily Beast. Let's just say she seems a kindred spirit to Rachel. Hence, the flirtatious energy between these two—even via teleconference, no less—is really quite marvelous.
