Last Call

 

Bosie comforts Rachel Maddow, yet another lesbian victim of Jerry Springer.

 

by Bosie Crawford

You can't keep a good dyke down! When her morning talk show on Air America, Unfiltered, was bumped for Jerry Springer (that bitch!), radio personality Rachel Maddow, 32, did what any good lesbian would do: She slipped herself into another slot. Time slot, that is! The California native, who now divides her time between the Berkshires and New York City with her girlfriend, dishes with Bosie about hot chicks and being mistaken for a man.

 

BOSIE CRAWFORD: Lesbians love to nest so much, you have two homes. Getting from the Berkshires to the city must be one hell of a commute.
RACHEL MADDOW: It can be three, three and a half hours, unless the weather is bad. And then it can be three, three and a half days. My girlfriend usually drives down with the dog on Wednesdays. And there was a snowstorm like every Wednesday this winter. It's the only time I ever felt like God was punishing me for being a lesbian. He doesn't want me to have sex with my girlfriend!

 

BOSIE: Rapper Chuck D. was your co-host on Unfiltered. That's like when the MTV Video Music Awards pairs up Mary Kate Olsen to present an award with Benjamin Netanyahu.
RACHEL: It is such a funny combination. But we love each other. I call him Zen Master Chuck. He's the most calm, untroubled person in the world. He's the person I most want to be in a car crash with.

 

BOSIE: Did he ever try to convert you to be straight?
RACHEL: No. But we do talk about girls, though. He and I have different taste, but we can appreciate the other's type.

 

BOSIE: What happened with the Jerry Springer thing?
RACHEL: Jerry Springer is in my chair. He's a big name. And he's a Democrat. And he's made himself into a big celebrity with the whole chair-throwing TV show thing. And he"s going to bring a lot of listeners into the talk radio world.

 

BOSIE: It sounds like a topic of his TV show: Lesbian Radio Co-hosts of Liberal Talk Shows Replaced By Chair-Throwing Circus Ringmaster.
RACHEL: Black Guy and Dyke Replaced by Pornographer! It's the Republicans' wet dream to be able to write that somewhere.

 

BOSIE: Tell us about your new show.
RACHEL: It"s at the butt-crack of dawn. 5am. It"s going to be called The Rachel Maddow Show.

 

BOSIE: That's out there. How will people know you're hosting it?
RACHEL: We're gonna have a mascot made up to kind of look like me.

 

BOSIE: You claim to be the world's first out lesbian to be named a Rhodes scholar. You're beginning to sound like America's Next Top Model's Janice Dickinson - the world's first supermodel.
RACHEL: I wasn't the first gay Rhodes scholar. I mean, Cecil Rhodes was a flamer. I was the first American who was out during the whole process and still got picked!

 

BOSIE: So chicks must dig that you're smart.
RACHEL: I used to wear glasses. And the appearance of smart helped me get girls more than the doctorate does.

 

BOSIE: I thought all lesbians liked the Dave Matthews Band until I read that you dissed them in The New York Times!
RACHEL: I didn't mean to. I didn't know the reporter was standing right there. Dave Matthews must have a huge lesbian following because he's kind of like a lesbian himself. There aren't many mannish straight women. So we have to glom on to straight men who look like lesbians. They are very important to the cause!

 

BOSIE: How did you meet your girlfriend?
RACHEL: I was her yard boy. She hired me to do her yard work and it was love at first sight. We've been together for six years.

 

BOSIE: It's kind of like the lesbian version of that storyline from Desperate Housewives. Do you watch?
RACHEL: I have watched once. I don't have a television.

 

BOSIE: Let's talk about your type. Do you like the crunchy granola Woodstock lesbian?
RACHEL: No. My girlfriend looks like Jessica Rabbit. She's very girly.

 

BOSIE: Does she get hit on a lot by guys?
RACHEL: Oh yeah.

 

BOSIE: Do you bust a cap in their ass? What do you do?
RACHEL: Gloat!

 

BOSIE: It doesn't bother you? You're not the jealous type?
RACHEL: I'm there to protect her if need be. I think it's nice that guys like her.

 

BOSIE: Do men hit you on?
RACHEL: I get hit on by gay men who think I'm a guy. Since I've moved to New York, I've developed what we call in the business "news ass." I'm spreading out a little bit, which is hurting my I-look-like-a-17-year-old-boy experience!
