Maddow celebrates the Rapture with Last Word cocktail

Rachel Maddow paid tribute to the supposed biblical Judgement Day Friday night in typical fashion: with fancy cocktails.

The MSNBC host concocted a "Last Word" cocktail in honor of "Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell and the Rapture both. She said that since both her family and her partner's family have "a history of believing in this stuff," she didn't want to outright mock the predicted heavenly judgement.
