Folks, we've got no live show tonight, so you'll have to let the ducks send you to prison. For everyone who's asking, Rachel has been a little under the weather, seriously nothing serious, and thank you for asking.

Get better Rachel! For a while I thought you were on vacation and decided not to tell anybody.
I'm going to miss the send off of "and now go to prison!".
Thought you were fishing with Ed Schultz all week :-)
Stay safe and get well.
Certainly hope both Rachel and Ed are back Monday! This is beginning to feel ominous.
Gee, maybe MSNBC is changing their programming and will cancel them. What to do?
Chances would be better that our gal Rachel was interviewing with another network. MSNBC needs her more than she needs them.
Do you mean with Gore? So 5 people can watch her
We watched Current last night. They are improving. They have interesting guests you don't see anywhere else, and Cenk and Granholm are not bad at all. The graphics need help, though.
Ed Schultz reminds me of Dick Butkus. I wonder if they're related on their maternal side.
Ed Schultz played football for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League for a little while, after he didn't make the Oakland Raiders.
Ed and Rachel are always fishing.
Hope you feel better soon, Rachael! I thought you were on some exotic assignment like evacuating an army or nuclear material or something.
I'm going to miss the cocktail moment!
That's what I thought, too-that she must be chasing down a hot story somewhere. I miss her!
Its Rachel, MJ. Not Rachael.
It's or It is, not Its.
Hey, we've been known to write it as Rachael ourselves, oopsies.
Get well soon. Ezra has done a fine job this week...but he is not you. Holla if you need antibiotics
Ezra Kline is irritating. And his lisp is disturbing. Get him off you show.
Really, we're going to mock people with speech impediments now? How very progressive of you.
his voice may irritate but the man knows his stuff.
Don't listen to Bruce. He is cranky today. Ezra did a fine job. His interviews were great and his enthusiasm is awesome!
Maybe if he did that Yoda voice..... give the kid a break! He is wicked smart... and Rachel is sick. Let her heal goddamnit!
Wicked smart is right and that's exactly what I'm looking for on Rachel's show, plus charts and graphs. I don't really care how the wicked smart message is delivered. I would love to hear the Yoda voice though; Ezra don't tease...
Ezra is wicked smart but he has no on-camera charisma. The show feels like it's three hours long...in a bad way. I think Chris Hayes might be Ezra's Tyler Durden.
To mock people with an impediment is cruel - This man knows his stuff and I hope he has a very bright future!
You are the irritating one, Bruce. Maybe you should follow your own advice. I'm happy to listen to Ezra any time Rachel is not available. He knows his stuff, and that's a lot more than I can say for the vast majority of TV hosts, let alone guest hosts.
Rachel, there's always Canada for health care and also for prescription drugs at 35% of the US price if US health care lets you down.
Actually, I really LIKE Ezra Klein - MSNBC, you should give him his own show. He is extremely intelligent and really UNDERSTANDS the nuts and bolts of the issues- I would like to hear more from him!
However, I do SO miss Rachel - I hope she is feeling better!
There are eight different types of intelligences. If Rachel casts a lemur as a side kick with a sting ray tank in the background then you will attract more people with naturalistic intelligence to the show. If she does her reporting while doing yoga poses then a lot of people with kinesthetic intelligence would be watching while standing on their heads.
Un-Cocktail Moment: Boil equal parts lemon grass, fresh ginger & cinnamon >> strain >> drink warm with honey. It's great for colds & coughs - a traditional Indian Ayurvedic treatment. I suppose if you don't have a cold or a cough, one could just drink it for heck's sake. One could also add brandy to it. For, ya know, fun. *feel better, Rachel*. sending you healing hugs!
Fluids and rest...... and when you come back, you really have to record the "now go to prison" for us, just in case you're ever MIA on a Friday again.
Ooooh... how 'bout a Dr. Maddow ring tone of "now go to prison".
But only when you're feeling better, Dr. M.!
It's just not LockUp without being sent to LockUp by Rachel... :(
Feel better - don't let the quacks get you down.
Hope you feel better soon. <3
I've missed you, Rachel. Wishing you a speedy recovery....XXXXXOOOOO
hope she feels better soon
Wish you the best Rachel! get well soon! we miss you, Ezra is great too, but we all miss ya! guess no cocktails for you tonight aye?
Hope you feel better soon, Rachel! We miss you. (Ezra is good, but he's just not you.)
Hope you get to feelin' better soon Rachel.
Awww...the ducks make it all better!
I've missed you all week, each and every nite. Beaming healing energy your way <3
I thought maybe you snuck off to go fishing with Ed ... get well soon Rachel, I miss ya but would rather see you healthy, wealthy and wise...I too will miss your cocktail moment.
Feel better soon Rachel. Missed seeing you this week Though Ezra did a really good job.
Maybe a cocktail/Vicks moment?
Get better Rachel, and, we miss you big time!
Feel better, Rachael.....Hubby and I, look forward to seeing you on Fb....and the
Tv.......you are one helluva lady.....!!!!!!
It is Gay Pride month. Get better soon, there's a lot of partying to do. This requires a cocktail moment....
My Children laugh uproariously every time you say "Enjoy Prison!"
Push fluids and get rest. Hoping you'll feel better in the next few days.
Take care of yourself, Rachel, and thanks for all the ducks!
get better, maybe a hot toddy?
We used to watch CNN all the time, but in the last year and a half or so we have been watching MSNBC. My top 3 shows Sorry Rachel I know your sick, but it's 1. Politics Nation with Reverend Al, 2. The Rachael Maddow Show with yourself, and 3. UP with Chris Hayes. We watch them all really, but these are our top 3. Gonna miss the Cocktail tonight! Keep up the great work and get well soon!
I would put Rachel first, Melissa Harris Perry 2nd and then Chris Hayes.
I hope you are back next week Rachel.....the week was really dismal without you on.
