DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- With her sparkling blue eyes, wispy eyelashes and demure smile, Hertz is the center of attention wherever she goes.
If you're lucky enough to meet her, try to ignore the tangle of wires slinking from behind her face. If you speak with her, talk slowly and loudly. And no matter what you say, don't be offended if she looks at you blankly and repeatedly asks, "What did you say?"

Every time you visit CNN's site, you increment their hit counter. CNN sells banner ads on their site. Advertisers look at the hit counter as one measure of whether their money is well spent on CNN.
Around here, CNN is known as the Communist News Network or Clinton News Network.
Just a thought.

So what does Hertz look like? I've met several women with sparkling blue eyes and wispy eyelashes who, when I say "Hello" to them, look right through me and say, "What did you say?"
