How come we couldn't see Rachel M via Skype?

She sounded pretty perky. Surely they have access to that sort of cutting edge technology????

1. She needs rest. Her shows require a lot of preparation and energy. n/t

[LAS14]

2. Why is talking on the phone more restful than talking via Skype?

Maybe she just wanted to stay in her jammies??

[pnwmom]

3. Of course it takes more energy to get oneself camera ready. n/t

9. That's what I immediately thought!

It was jammies time for Rachel. That and comfort food.

4. She's sick. Maybe she didn't want to be seen.

5. When you're sick you don't want to be bugged.

She needs to rest without the hassles.

6. Rachel phoned it in but she didn't really phone it in

She was prepared and informative as usual. I am really glad she is on the mend. Hope she is healthy enough to cover the Comey testimony next week.

7. They found an actor who had a similar sounding voice
