Yep. She sure was. I remember for a time Tom Brokaw was on there. He left to do Nightly News, then that reprehensible little twit Bryant Scumball replaced him.

Bryant Gumbel. I will refrain from stating my feelings about him. His brother's all right, though. Tom Brokaw isn't awful, either.

Jane's a member of a club I belong to. Very nice lady. Go, Jane, go! She's married to Garry Trudeau, the writer of the Doonesbury comic strip. That qualifies her as an assho!e.
