Rachel Maddow on Benghazi and the Relentless Republican Desire to Impeach Obama: VIDEO

Rachel Maddow last night took an incredible look at how Republicans have been trying to "impeach Obama for something, anything" since the first day he was in office, ticking off the list of reasons that have been offered up by various lawmakers, yet haven't stuck.

"Republicans and the Right love talking about impeaching President Obama even when they're not sure exactly why. It's almost like an involuntary tic. They sneeze and a little 'impeach Obama' just squeezes out without them meaning to."

Benghazi is just the latest, and it's Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) who's leading the charge.

Maddow dissects the GOP arguments, and the outrage.

David Letterman Lets His Anger About Anti-Gay Discrimination Rip in Discussion with Rachel Maddow: VIDEO

David Letterman had a sit down with Rachel Maddow last night and let his opinion about marriage equality and frustration over anti-gay discrimination rip:

"I'm just sick and tired, and I think it has really crossed the line of being nonsense. This ongoing, politically nuanced, religiously nuanced discussion of gay marriage, gay rights. It is absolute stupidity....Humans have the right to do what humans do, that’s it. End of  story. There’s no argument. There’s no exceptions. Humans have rights and they get to do what humans get to do. Case closed. Good night."
