AND she kept saying over, and over...how she "holds no thrift with Kim Jong Il"

The phrase is "I hold no brief for..."

Definition from Answers.COM:

Refuse to support, dislike, as in I hold no brief for liars. This term is a negative version of the legal expression hold a brief for, meaning [to support or defend a position by argument.] The noun brief has been used in this way since the 1200s.

The man... excuse me... woman (????) speaks like she's got some really bad dentures.  And this clown represented our country to the world?  What a maroon!  No wonder they thought they could get away with attacking us.

Thanks for clearing that up...I wasn't sure if I was hearing her correctly or not...and wasn't sure what she was really trying to say either.

You are a big help, as usual.

I found her protesting her "dislike" of Kim Jong Il a little TOO much..like someone that has some guilt to hide.

Could she have possibly meant to say 'shrift' as in short shrift.

Just reminding us again that slick willie chose weaklings for his administration.
