Ann was on the news channel this a.m. MSNBC with news readers Alex (dim)Witt and John Idiot Elliot. He asked Ann something about the liberal something or other and naming names and something to the effect "do you.......". She responded in her usual no holds barred - take no prisoners way and began by saying, "well, yes I do". She went on to repsond and then commented that it is all documented in ehr book with references, indexes, and footnotes!

I knew he was going to try to do the old 'painting everybody with the same broad brush' but she closed him down by saying something positive about Bryan (Brian) Williams and noted that it was in her book.

Usually after a segment (dim)Witt makes some ridiculous comments which she thinks are clever or cute....this a.m., neither she nor Idiot made comments.....so Ann was left with the last word....

I had thought (dim) Witt was going to do a passable job of reading the news cards, but she invariable sticks these stupid comments in. Like this morning when they did the Bobbitt story.....John did all of it and at the end, she makes this sort of statement "I wasn't going to touch that story". If I wanted comedy, I'd watch Leno or sign up for Comedy Central's show lineup.

MSNBC is trying to loosen up on the set a bit, but they just cant grasp FOX's formula for success of "fair and balanced".
