Newsom on Rachel Maddow


"If you are flipping through the channels. I will be on Rachel Maddow at 615 PST," read Mayor Gavin Newsom's prefered form of communication. And so he was, doing a decent job too. (Say what you will about Gavin, but he is as camera-ready as they come.) Newsom chatted with MSNBC's sharpest media darling about LGBT rights, same-sex marriage in Iowa, his run for governor, and more.

Since Maddow is in town for a bit -- your invite for a night of heavy drinking at The Lexington Club must've gotten lost in our spam filter, Rachel! -- she also found the time to interview Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. Clearly a fan of the San Rafael-based band, Ulrich's presence rendered Maddow downright adorable. Aw.

Metallica isn't based in Oakland. Metallica HQ is in San Rafael.

She likes Metallica? So much for my long-distance unfulfilled crush!

If it was early days I'd have no problem with it.

Early days = As in their first three albums.

Agreed. He has got to slow down on the delivery and maybe he was just nervous.

If I was a california voter that had no clue what Gavin stood for and what his policies were, I'd still have no clue after that interview concluded. Waste of time and air.

He had to get it all out before he forgot it. It's clear that most of what he blathered forth were a bunch of lines that were fed to him and his actual knowledge of the actual issues is paltry at best.

Watching him creeps me out. He reminds me of my dad back in the 80's. Ick.
