There are unexplainable facts of political life and one of those facts is that Nancy Pelosi keeps on getting elected to Congress. Even more baffling is that she was elected, by people who know and work with her on a daily basis, to be Speaker of the House of Representatives. Her embarrassing tenure as Speaker went a long way to costing her political party control of that body in the 2010 election cycle and yet her incompetence was rewarded by being voted minority leader and she, having no sense of honor or shame, accepted the position. Now she salutes BHO for overriding Constitutional limits and established convention in his appointment of a "Consumer Protection Czar" and some Union hacks to the NLRB. In a just world she would be selling perfume on the ground floor of Gumps but in this world - the twilight of America - she's writing Federal laws and making big cash through insider trading.
She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...
