In this embedded video segment Maddow examines the Republican response to the Christmas Bomber.

Examples:

• Criticizing allowing Abdulmutallab to “lawyer up” even though “shoe bomber” Richard Reid and 9/11 co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui were treated the same under Cheney
• Criticizing how long it took Obama to comment despite the fact that Bush waited much longer before commenting about Richard Reid
