An Hour with Rachel Maddow

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow did an hour Q&A for the Clinton School of Public Policy which proved to be so popular, they had to move her appearance to a larger venue. The actual event took place on March 22nd, but the video wasn't uploaded until today.

Sit back and watch, as we learn a bit about her hometown; her stint as an instigator of skinhead violence; her work as an AIDS activist; how she ended-up in Western Massachusetts, got into radio and how her "old testament" style of self-motivation has affected the choices in her life... all within the first ten minutes.
