Yes, Rachel Maddow Did Tend Bar At The MSNBC NerdProm Party




One of the main attractions of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner is the extracurricular WHCD party time, whose appeal can be summed up in two words: open bar.

Regular viewers ofThe Rachel Maddow Show already know that the host is an avid amateur bartender by virtue of her recurring Cocktail Moment segments, but unfortunately, you can’t drink her creations through the TV screen.
