“wait, what?” tweet Maddow shortly after it was announced that she had won the award.
“That is exactly what it sounded like in the car when Susan and I heard. We scared the dog awake,” Maddow added in a follow-up tweet, responding to her blog’s Twitter account, which tweeted in all CAPS, “HA! WHOA! WOW!!!”
