1. She's a sorry bitch

Republican, Condi's best friend.

And a lousy reporter.

10. OH GREAT!!

Are you kidding me? How the hell did we end up with Condi's best friend and Schieffer who has connections to the chimp?? How did Kerry's people let that crap slide?

[bushwakker]

2. awful

a condi pal. a purveyor of beltway conventional stupidity. not an original thought in the woman's head.

[tjdee]

3. She is very good friends with Condi.

I believe there is a bona fide quote to that effect.

I don't like her.

[KittyWampus]

4. Unremittingly Negative

[GR]

5. Shallow Thinker, Bush Shill, Focused On The Trivial...

Worst moderator in history of Washington Week. Terrible interviewer...

[Leilani]

13. Right.

Washington Week used to be a much better show.

Now its a bunch of Beltway Insiders talking to each other, impressed with their self-importance.

7. Haven't liked her for years - expect her to shill for Bush.

As others have mentioned, she's a close friend of Condi Rice.

a shill.

9. She's an asshole, I dealt with her a couple of times

Don't know if she is a registered republican, but man she was mean to me. The only other member of the "media" who was so nasty was Kate O'Beirne, a certified right-wing repug.

They both treated us in our (Democratic) office as idiots and both (separately) all but called me a liar when I gave them "I don't know" answers when dealing with them.

Not only was I not lying, it was totally uncalled for as there was no way I could have been expected to know the answers.

She is a class A asshole, in my opinion.

11. I always like her on Washington Week in Review...pretty good !

Is she the moderator?

Thats a good sign they are using PBS folks to moderate the debates.

[babylonsister]

12. We can always hope she can err on the side of caution

and not ask questions that are too partisan. Trying to be optimistic...

[TomClash]

14. If she wasn't African-American, she wouldn't be in the mix . . .

. . . for 3 a.m. car talk radio in Dubuque.

15. Gwen Ifill is no Jim Lehrer. I have low expectations and some concern

she leans right. In any case that is how I view her typical daily performances. Weak and pro Bush whenever she does come gingerly down from the fence.
