While visiting Martha's Kitchen recently, Keith Olbermann inspired Stewart to take a stand on something more than the correct pronunciation of "herbs" (is the "h" silent?). While discussing the famous video bit of Alaska Governor Palin --shot directly in front of turkey torture-- Martha said: "that was an especially gruesome scene back there." It's about 3 minutes in.

Newly ascendant MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show actually beat shouty colleague Keith Olbermann's in the ratings on Tuesday night, 1.8 million viewers to 1.64 million. This proves that Gawker's earlier prediction of her success was totally correct, and also that America's love affair with lesbians just keeps getting hotter. http://gawker.com/5051846/olbermann-spanked-by-rachel-maddow
