Bright? I can think of may adjectives more suited to the senator than the word "bright". How about ruthless or clever, for starters!
Interestingly enough, "bright" is the word that's being hijacked by the atheist community to describe themselves much like homosexuals co-opted "gay". Just a bit o' trivia.
Just commented earlier in the day wondering "Where's the queen and why so silent"? Practicing for them interviews, YA KNOW....(cause she can't speak off the cuff without going into a tirade). Timmee Russert will be SOOOOO happy to have his best friend at the table. Tim, tell her you think she lost 10 oz. and she'll love you forever!!
I wonder if Russert will give her his questions beforehand -- I will never forget the fact that Letterman gave her the answers before she went on live.
So much for the smartest woman in the world.
