Just moments ago (Friday night) on PBS's Washington Week.

This is the FIRST time I've EVER heard the crowd applaud an answer on Washington Week!

[Resuscitated Ethics]

1. Great catch. Applause on Washington Week?

Rarely a pan over the audience. That can be a dry show. Very good point, the SIXTY DAYS

[ashling]

4. The show is rarely done before an audience

but it was a good point put succinctly.

2. She was great and the only one to get an applause.

[trickyguy]

3. Glad to hear the media standing up for our right to know.

This Sarah Palin came out of nowhere and maybe she ought to go back there.

There's an awful lot of scuttlebutt about her and her "dealings".

There's the way she treats members of her family esp. her mother-in-law.

There's the "bridge to nowhere" fiasco.

And then there's the un-called-for dissing of Barack Obama's community organizer days.

And her racist remark to some friends when Obama clinched the nomination that

"Sambo beat the bitch" to which she and her friends laughed at the remark.

I don't think she has much of a clue as to how tenuous her position is right now.

Here's hoping she burns herself out real fast. She's bad news.:evilgrin:

5. First i ever noticed also! funny thing- i started clapping at home...

and the audience started clapping too!

a magic moment, indeed.

Just before that I noticed the phrase "40 years in journalistic excellence" and mourned the day Gwen Ifil took over from journalistic greats like Paul Duke and Ken Bode, reducing it to "Gwen Ifil's Washington Whores On Parade".

6. K&R and rated 5-stars on YouTube!

FINALLY, someone tells it like it is. You can't hide Sarah, McSame!

[HughMoran]

7. Absolutely! She said it as well as it can be said.

She's an unknown, more unknown than any VP candidate that I can remember. We need to investigate her as much as possible.

8. Ms. Cummings, "We need to know everything we can about Gov. Palin....

...so that we can make an educated decision."

[JBoy]

9. Awesome. Exactly what I want to hear the media say.

Now stop giving McCain and Palin coverage until they come out of their hiding hole.

[BeyondGeography]

10. Right on...unfortunate use of the word "grievance" there, Gwen

[travelingtypist]

11. It was a beautiful moment.

Unfortunately Gwen returned to her snide "I have dinner with Condi regularly" best with the end line of "we have tough skins up here." FU, Gwen.
