MSNBC anchor and former Air-America radio host Rachel Maddow made an appearance at the Little Rock convention center this morning as part of the Clinton School’s speaker series. She talked about her high school experience, her early career in AIDS activisim and her transition into the media. Maddow was, as you might expect from watching her show, thoughtful, sharp and funny. She had the audience in stitches on more than one occasion. To name one, speaking of Sen. Blanche Lincoln, Maddow said, “It’s one thing to be a conservative Democrat. It’s another thing to act like you don’t want to be a Democrat at all.”
