I liked Rita. I guess she felt she needed to reach for the brass ring.
Zahn, though, had it made. She was co-hosting major events with Hume. She followed one of Fox's top 2 hits, H&C. With a little talent, she could have blown the lid off.
Unfortunately, that's all she had....a little talent.
(Did anyone else think she came across as a bit too hoity-toity for THE ENTIRE WORLD?!!)
I also think Paula was a bit snooty - and for no reason. I never watched her show on Fox but her move to CNN was a huge mistake. After I realized what a lib she was, I was fine with her going to the natural place for her kind - CNN. I never minded Rita - I kinda liked her. She was able to get interviews no one else could and I remember her standing out after JFK, Jr. died. I wouldn't mind seeing her back on FNC.
I like Rita. (Clearing throat - AHEMMM).
I hope she comes back to Fox - but it seems unlikely.
Her voice creeps me out but if you listen to her show for entertainment she is kinda cute and funny.
Her interviews with the American Idol contestants the other day was a refreshing change from the awful news in our world today. It was nice to escape that just for a few minutes.
I just laughed with her at the manic devotion Idols are getting and they really seemed to like her - she is appealing and seems very nice.
Her "sources" in the DC sniper days seemed to be good ones if I recall correctly.
