Kinda like Elisabeth Hasselbeck ....just a moron playing a game she's outclassed on at every turn.

Obama looked young..that was a big part of it...and America wanted Obama-lot again...right, Jackie...I mean, Michele....
The problem is they don't exist on a "higher moral plain", they only pretend to. Palin's daughter had a child out of wedlock and she quit on her state for selfish personal reasons. By the way, Palin is the one who winks..Also, Americans are tired of being told who or what is moral or what religion if at all is better. The values card has run its course.

also the Liz Trotta remarks are spot on, and how refreshing to know that it was broadcast on Faux. (Interesting to see if she keeps that correspondent job, too.)
Interesting indeed. I have no idea how anyone can defend her at this point.

I'd say SHE "groomed" a producer or two to get her job.
