Rachel Maddow, Arch-Conservative Drinker

In a recent interview, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was asked to reveal the most conservative thing about herself.  Her answer:

That's a bottle of Blanton's.  You can't do better.

"Probably my drinking habits.  I am a rigorous curmudgeon when it comes to alcohol.  All the mixed drinks and cocktails that anybody needs were pretty much settled a generation before I was born.  There's no reason to have, like, cordials made from new flowers.  There's no reason to put bacon in your fucking bourbon."

Oh Rachel, I've loved you for many reasons.  Now I have another.
