1. Love her to death.
She's so smart! And she never looses her cool, even when she's doing a smackdown. She's like a female Obama.

4. Yep. What is the best word that describes her?
It's not articulate but something close, with a mix of wit and a wonderful ability to disarm others. And you can tell her brain runs in overdrive.

What word am I looking for?

12. That'll do for now...I have to look up the other one (below) to know for sure.

Aha! Lucky for me the poster provided the definition.

Eloquent is closer to what I'm thinking...

14. I think Tweety respects her smarts and education
but she slammed him pretty hard about Grampy's 9/12/01 enthusiasm for invading Iraq.

15. He made himself look really bad there, not knowing the basics of McCain's bloodlust.
... especially given McCain had done so on his show. What was shameful, though, was Matthews trying to make excuses for McCain's poor judgment.

I hope to post the video later, if it's not already available.

18. Ummm
Rachel's gay and has a long term SO.

But at the rate she's going, she's soon going to be Princess of All Media. Oprah's Queen. And she's for Obama, too.

19. I think Rachel is brilliant and fabulous, and will be an important voice this election.
I am THRILLED she and Keith have a 2-hour block M-F to lay some truth on America.
