Q. I have enjoyed CNN Headline News in the past, especially Rudi Bakhtiar's news presentation. She seems to have disappeared. Do you know the reason and where she can be seen at present? -- E.K., Boca Raton

A. Bakhtiar has been given a promotion to regular contributor and fill-in host of Anderson Cooper 360 on the main CNN network.

I don't watch CNN for enything, and Ruddi wouldn't change that.

What I want to know is where is Linda Vester?

Rudi Bakhtiar is a Republican.

Which just might explain why you can't find her on CNN much anymore, LOL.

She belongs on Fox with the other "best babes" on cable.

I believe clemenza is our FR Rudi "expert". in fact, if Rudi is missing, they should be checking his house first!

76% of Iranian-Americans voted for President Bush and Iranians are some of the pro-American people in the world. Iranians aren't Arabs and the Iranian dictatorship is not representative of the Iranian populace.

Vester is on maternity leave.

Again? She just got OFF maternity leave?

She's not my neighboor, but she's by far one of the most human of the Fox women. Such an expressive face.

Still, If I was the coveting type, Martha Mcalom would be the covetee. She has that nice girl way about her.

I heard she was on a 12 month maternity leave.
Hope everything is alright. That seems like a long
leave of absence. I'm suspicious about such a
long period of time off. (Physical problems come to mind)

On Vestors page at Fox.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,82453,00.html

she is quoted at saying:
Thanks for your concern! I was on maternity leave. On Feb 1, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, who came into the world at a whopping 8 lbs.

So maybe with the rumored second baby following so close after the first she is going to be a Mom for a while.

She strikes me as the type who might excell at that.

Much as I love Rudi, I currently have another Persian Princess that I am wooing at the moment. Things seem to be going OK so far I am happy to report.

However, don't necessarily assume that Rudi's husband is the father of the child. Look to see if the kid has some Polish and Italian mixed in with the Persian. ;-)

I have always liked her style and presentation. She
has warm eyes and a genuine smile.

Rudi is no longer listed as a CNN reporter or anchor on their web site. She is now "missing".
