MADDOW: Here’s the thing: I am totally obsessed with the Christie story, unapologetically, and will continue to be obsessed with it while amazing things in that story continue to happen. It may be more coverage than you what, but I sort of thought when Rod Blagojevich had President Obama’s Senate seat to sell and he got a wiretap saying, ‘It’s bleeping golden,’ and he tried to sell it to the highest bidder and then it turns out he was going to screw the Cubs unless the Tribune fired writers who were criticizing him, I thought that was the political corruption scandal, like the Gonzo scandal of my day. This is just as good.
MAHER: But you didn’t cover the Blagojevich —
MADDOW: Are you kidding?
MAHER: — as much.
MADDOW: You have no idea how much I covered Rod Blagojevich.
MAHER: Well, the network didn’t.
MADDOW: I, I —
MAHER: It wasn’t the top story everyday for two months.
