Rachel Maddow Attempts to ‘Ambush’ Interview Jon Huntsman in New Hampshire

Jan. 8, 2012 4:14pm

Rachel Maddow Attempts to Ambush Interview Jon Huntsman

Liberal MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow has had difficulties getting any mainstream Republican presidential primary candidate to come on her show.

Shocking.

Give Maddow some credit though for her tenacity. In desperate search for a few words with former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, currently placing sixth in national GOP nomination polls, Maddow traveled all the way to New Hampsire to attempt to “ambush” interview Huntsman Friday.

Unfortunately for Maddow, Huntsman’s handlers were unimpressed by her Bud Fox-like perseverance, rejecting her request for a few words with the candidate who was already mobbed with media attention.

Checkout the MSNBC video of Maddow’s dramatic chase followed  by insight from NBC News campaign embed reporter Jo Ling Kent:

    Maddow is toast like Colmes. She didn’t do her homework as a journalist and has spent too many years insulting people and making offensive comments . Nobody is afraid of going to her stupid show; the thing is that nobody wants to spend time with a journalistic clown. She is desperate to get someone from the GOP for an interview because she knows that she will lose her job soon. If the GOP wants to clean the MSM from vicious useful idiots like Maddow, Colmes, O’Donnell, Matthews, Morgan etc. they should boycott pseudo intellectual hosts that are making money by ridiculing good and decent people with high moral values. I mean it is impossible to held a conversation of substance with Maddow because it is only about her and her stupid comments. She looks to me quite desperate on the clip and almost close to tears. Her attempt to bring home at least an interview with a nice lady that was available by chance was a disaster.

      Rageful Madcow has brought all of the contempt upon herself. She and the others on MSNBC have for years looked down their collective noses at decent people and have seen to it that they do so with the use of cruelty. There are two kinds of people in this world; the decent and the indecent. (credit that quote to Dennis Prager, one of my heroes or people who I look up to). When a person crosses the line from decency into cruelty, they deserve what comes their way when others fight back. This goes for the other low-life guttersnipes on the MSNBC. They need to look in the mirror to see who is responsible for their own miserable lives.

      I disagree on one thing .Maddow will never be fired.She is the resident Lesbian,and with the MSM agenda for gays being what it is ,she will be their poster child for a long time .Along with not so sharp Sharpton.These two represent the lefts main talking points.They are the lefts attack dogs and will remain so ,unless the left loses the election.Something I truly hope for.

    After the piece, “she” went out with some of “her” buds looking for a strip bar…I think she looks more like a man than Al Sharpton does.

    Maddman should ambush RP and ask him if Cuba should have nuclear ICBM”s?? If his policy is good for Iran, it should apply to Cuba.

    I was SO proud of Gov Rick Perry. He had the GUTS to take on the media and then during the debate he called Obama a Socialist…LOVED IT!!!! :)))) He is having the most fun of anyone. The others are SO bitter and have grudges. It is showing Gov Perry to be the REAL Washington outsider and the one who can take out Obama :) There are only a few choices to pick from and they all have flaws but he is my pick for President.

    David, what does any of that have to do with this story? Stay on topic, or at least sort of in the area.

      Who is she? and why should I care?
      Just another MSNBC flack who thrives on the kind of publicity she is getting from this site. Ignore her and she will go away.

      OMG

    I don’t know why she wanted a interview anyway… she usually just shows a picture of one of them and makes up her own liberal spill (like all of the msnbc) government owned media does. I only know from watching on the computor because I no longer watch t.v. I THINK THEY WANT PEOPLE TO BE STUPID! Do ya think?
