2. Yes, as opposed to the prevalent meme... |
|
... that he was "fired" secondary to the Comcast merger.
You're welcome.

12. No Mahr said he quit, she just went on about it being a very busy day, she didn't agree he'd quit |
|
and said she knew very little

5. '...I'll just do it very slowly,' is how she finished her statement. |

8. She was responding to Stockman's joking suggestion |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 11:59 PM by elleng
that she could now do 2 hours by saying her agreement/contract provides for a certain amount of content (each night, I presume), so she might do the same amount of content, SLOOOWLY! She was joking!
They've already filled the time slots (Cenk, O'Donnell, Rachel, Ed,) so sounds like they gave this some thought.

I can't help but wonder if Bill Maher's comments where directed towards Jon Stewart. I agree with his sentiments.

16. Notice how she doesn't make eye contact with Bill while she is saying her spiel. She knows more but |

19. Absolutely correct and... |
|
...a good catch. Rachel consistently makes pointed eye contact with those with whom she is engaged; she does not in this interaction with Bill.

17. That was unsatisfying. |
|
I guess she doesn't want to make the situation more difficult for Keith, or she doesn't want to presume to speak for him.
