And he was not alone in displaying courage and ability. This, too, needs to be said, even though Rachel Maddow does deploy the vacuous m-word along the way. Everything else she says deserves to be underscored, particularly everything beginning at about 2:45 into this video:

Your buddy edward is total idiot. I am trying extremely hard not to swear hear but I don't really know how to respond to this degree of stupidity. He's stupidicle. Moronicle. Asininicle.
Damn It! I spelled here the wrong way. Crap.

Don't be shy -- we're all buddies here.
Thanks.
