You are so right. Laura did ride herd all over that country while recovering from chemotherapy to boot!
I hope she keeps her hair the way it is now and doesn't color it for camera eye-candy like she used to. Her points come across as somebody that needs listening to seriously that way. She should drag the fat sloppy Tim Russert around the place and show him how to get his next meal while she blows a few rounds from an AK-47. I liked that part of her trip.
