My obligatory “Hey, I got my picture taken with Rachel Maddow” post

The next best thing to being on The Rachel Maddow Show is this…

I mean, why wouldn’tchya…?

This was taken at the Detroit NAACP’s 100-year anniversary Annual Dinner at Cobo Hall. I’ll have a post up about this amazing event tomorrow. You can read my post about this amazing event HERE.

It was a glancing blow but she did apologize (again) for calling me “Electablog” on the air last year ; )

The first time we posed, Anne’s camera locked up. She spent two hours yesterday photographing the POTUS & FLOTUS without a hitch then when she went to take my picture with Rachel … NOTHING! Her camera was star-struck!

Rachel said, “Well, these guys aren’t gonna let me stay here so walk with us.”

Anne had to remove & replace her flash, remove & replace the batteries, reboot the camera twice and remove & replace the lens as we trucked along the longest hallway ever and THEN it worked. So we stopped her again and got the photo. 

Whoa.

    Very cool. And thanks for the video of Saturday’s Recall Rick-tator Rally. I sent a link to all my friends who wouldn’t go with me for whatever reason, but hopefully they’ll get fired up, at least to sign. I’m hoping when I get my blank petitions to talk some into having Signing Par-tays!

    I have only been reading you for about a week via rss feed…I am just noticing, now, that it does not read “electablog.”  Unsubscribing (jk)

    Way to go! And she’s been so good about giving you credit for your coverage of Detroit. We may not agree all the time, but she’s a good person. A little thin (says the thin girl). Congrats to Anne, love how cameras have minds of their own sometimes.
