14. I'll probably get flamed a little bit for this
I just wish that Katrina would take advice from a media consultant. She has it all -- the issues, the brains, the telegenic looks. But she is always on caffeine -- so intense. She has the talent to get her A+ points across with a little more subtlety and TV charm. She'd be devastating instead being damn good.

Put her in a room with an airhead Pug blonde and, with a little coaching, would outsmart, outcharm and outfox her. Cmon Katrina.

15. I hear ya
that doesnt bother me though. I am so desperate for people on tv that I agree with besides these peter bienhart,the New Republic, DLC types that represent "the left".

17. I always liked Clinton's first WH spokesperson
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 12:14 AM by Rockerdem
I forgot her name (Alzheimers), but she was so effective by being gracious and pleasant, though firm. She really got her points across without standing peoples neck hair on end. (Edit: Dee Dee Myers)

On the other side, Laura Ingram (sp?) is annoying too. That nasal quality to her voice locks out any possibility of comprehending any point she tries to make. She has all the other qualities of a good presenter (content, notwithstanding), but the voice alone makes people turn channels. Little things mean a lot on TV.

3. I Saw a Bit of this Minutes Ago.
Katrina is a beautiful, intelligent woman who is very civilized and sophisticated in her debating style. She is wasting her time attempting to have dialogue with those hyena-like savages.

9. It's joe@msnbc.com...
...in case you would like to just let them know how you feel about their being too cowardly to countenance more than one non-right-winger at a time. These boys remind me of the idiots who have a friend hold another guy while they punch the guy. Weak, cowardly sorts, in other words.

12. That's a great analogy.
I never saw that until you said something. Fabulous insight. I'll use it to debate folks in the future. Thanks! :-)

7. Those four assholes together couldn't carry Katrina's water
Katrina is soooooo far ahead of those four Neanderthals. Four to one is about a fair fight when she's in there. I only wish we could clone this wonderful woman.

And then, on the flip side there's Little Terry Jeffries, castrati extraordinaire. Could there ever BE a more annoying voice?

13. I guess they need four
to make up for vanden Heuvel's intelligence. Wow, even with that many, I doubt they can make up the difference.
