Tina Brown: has she always acted like a numskull? I saw her on the Maddow rerun from last night.

How could she get so high in the publishing world? She acts like an affected know-nothing with a chip on her shoulder. Has she always been like this? I had read about her before, but she has been on the TV a lot lately. I don't think she is a big threat to the Huffington Post.

She edited the New Yorker and Vanity Fair - not The Nation or Newsweek.

4. I was struck by how shallow and simple-minded she was.

On point after point, Brown spun out simplistic answers that unfortunately were never followed up on by the substitute host, who greeted each odd Brown remark with a pause and then plowed on relentlessly to the next, unrelated question.

Not MSNBC's "finest hour".
