"I think I have a fear in general about whether being a pundit is a worthwhile thing to be," Rachel Maddow tells me over dinner at a Latin restaurant in lower Manhattan. It"s more than the ordinary self-deprecation of someone who just got her own cable commentary show. It"s an insecurity essential to the on-air style that"s powered the 35-year-old"s rapid rise from a wacky morning radio show in western Massachusetts to the liberal radio network Air America and now to her own prime-time show on MSNBC.
