Brit Hume was trying so hard to kiss her ass, I'm wondering if he didn't pound a shot before the interview. "Oh Susan you are such a know it all, and I mean that you are so knowledgeable, smooch,smooch,smooch!"
I think what happened is that Brit's description of her as a know-it-all was ambiguous, and when she decided to take it as an insult and get angry, he went out of his way to placate her. He must have his reasons - she's one of the few Dem commentators Fox has who is not a total shill - though I'm starting to revise my opinion about her.
Given a choice of kissing her ass, which you have not seen or her lips which you have seen-which choice would you make?
