Watch Rachel Maddow Own GOP Strategist Alex Castellanos After He Claims that Women Don?t Actually Make Less Than Men
Beware people who begin the arguments with the word "actually" because, more often than not, they're about to lay down a thick layer of nasally, affected condescension. At least, that's what happens in this clip from a Meet the Pressconfrontation between fact-marshalling Rachel Maddow and obfuscating GOP strategist Alex Castellanos, who incorrectly believed he could smarm and squirm his way past Maddow in arguing that, actually, women don't make only 77 cents on the dollar compared to what men make. I say "confrontation" rather than "debate" because Castellanos is full of *** and Maddow says as much by swiveling her head so sharply when he contradicts her litany of persistent inequalities that it seems she's in danger of losing it. Her head, I mean, not the confrontation, for which Castellanos, as plodding as Snuffleupagus with his words, was ill-prepared.

my read shelf:
The video that immediately follows is worth a watch, too. She calls the GOP strategists out for claiming that the war on women is manufactured by the Dems to avoid talking about the "real" issue of the economy. As Maddow points out, if this is about the economy, then why has the GOP introduced over 1,000 bills (more than at any time since RvW) aimed at restricting women's reproductive rights and health care since the 2010 elections?
