Holy crap. She literally can't finish sentences right now. She's just stuttering and trying to get out words, and nothing comes out so she just shakes her head until one of the guests decides to jump in.

(9,951 posts)... not so much her hesitating speech, but how someone with so much money goes on working... I would travel, visit family and friends, buy stuff on eBay and Amazon, waste time on Facebook... I even might clean the closets!

(25,841 posts)retirement is wonderful. Well okay, I understand that some people truly cannot afford to retire, but even with a modest income not working is vastly better than working.

(6,793 posts)It is wonderful. It is freedom from overbearing bosses and annoying co-workers. Now it is just family, dogs, and cats - heaven.

(13,776 posts)I honestly wondered whether she was having a stroke on air, but she came back after the commercial.
But I don't normally watch her show, so I didn't know whether that was par for the course. Perhaps it is. I know she gets criticized here sometimes, and I know Alan Greenspan is her husband (but a lot of spouses wouldn't want to be associated with their partners' actions, so I make no assumptions), but I have no opinions about her; I just know that Rachel admires her, and she must have been a trailblazer for women in journalism. I wish her well.

(2,398 posts)... but a logical explanation might be that she's NEVER seen anything like this, and she...like me...is gobsmacked. Speechless. Fumbling for words.
Luckily, the Marine Corps provided me with a broad vocabulary, so when I'm gobsmacked, I just let loose.
I feel better then, and I think Andrea would feel - and do - better, too.
