Rachel Maddow does the first news show in drag

Rachel Maddow did her entire show last night (5/11/2010) dressed as a man. I guess her drag persona goes by the name of Chris Hayes.

Here is some video of it.
www.msnbc.msn.com...

I thought she was pretty convincing,but you can still see some of her female mannerisms coming through.

This is the first news show done by someone in drag that I have ever seen. Is it the first one ever?

I wonder if she is planning on geting a sex change and this is a way to get her audience desensitized to it.

That's not Rachael Maddow, her voice is much deeper than that.

2nd line.

Oh that is her. Look at the eyes, the mannerisms, and listen to her voice tempo and inflection. It has to be her.

Yeah, that's not Rachel. And just because she's a lesbian doesn't mean she is also a Transvestite (drag king) nor does it mean she's a transgendered transsexual. But...I do applaud you for being open to the idea and not berating her. Kudos!

Thanks. I thought it was kind of cool and added to the show. I thought she even came across better as a man.

I thought Rachel Maddow was already in drag during her performances.
Did I read somewhere her name was really Randy?

That's hilarious. Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Could you please translate your last sentence into english?

Thanks!

Of course I can! That was a meme from online and it was the perfect time to use it. Sad to say. I can't translate it.

"She" is obviously a a he-woman. Shim didn't have the proper ratio of sex chemicals during development, so sexuality was developed out of the normal ranges.

It probably identifies itself as both sexes

LOL, well that is perfect. We need more of that. Maybe you could only use quotes from Silence of the Lambs to answer the remainder of this thread.

That's not Rachel. That's really Chris Hayes.

silence of the lambs? I never seen that movie! What am I supposed to quote now? :p

Yeah it is Chris Hayes... Just like Garth Brooks altar ego was Chris Gaines. I bet that is where she got the name. She does have that wit about her.

How about quotes only from Godfather 1 or 2. LEt me start.

Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. You think that would fool a Corleone?

Fool a what? Sorry I never watch movies at all.

no dude...I watched the show, and she was not in drag...she wasn't there. That was just a dweeby democrat guy that she likes.

No she just said she wasnt their so she could take on her alter ego, Chris Hayes or Christ Haze. Just watch the vid, it is clearly her in drag. Looks just like her dressed as a man, but stilll has her mannerisms, voice inflection, eyes, etc... Either that or it is her twin brother.
