She hails from Houston and is the daughter-in-law of the Republican uber-politico James A. Baker III

so is this the same Meredith Baker on the OTHER thread who ‘came out’ in a Lauer interview today? Or is it just that it’s a common name?

Same one. I'm sure the timing was preemptive.

Apparently the possible FCC appointee happens to have a name similar to the actress who ‘came out’ today; The possoble appointee is Meredith Baker; the lesbian actress is Meredith Baxter. Lousy timing for Baker!
