Rachel Maddow on Beauty

The highly respected hostess of the nightly news program The Rachel Maddow Show knows what sets her apart from so many female news anchors. All politics aside, Maddow has a very different approach to her appearance as an on-air newscaster.

"The women in American cable news look like a beauty pageant," Maddow said at a seminar recently, as reported by Gatecrasher. "I'm not very pretty. I sorta look like a dude, and I have short hair, and I wear boring gray jackets, and I have a big nose. No one's gonna confuse me with a Fox News anchor. No one's gonna call me the anything-Honey."

Refreshingly, Maddow seems to get that that's a good thing.
