I think she is very smart. Smart enough to realize where the money is, for example. She could be another screeching loon like that idiot broad Hannity seems fixated with, or the female version of Beckel, Colmes, or Williams who would argue the sun rises in the west if Obama said so. Instead Powers finds a middle ground that is largely based on common sense and thus differentiates herself as “fair and balanced” to borrow a phrase. Good for her pocketbook, no doubt. What does she believe personally? It’s pretty irrelvant, isn’t it? She’s just a performer. Why, when you’ve got the freedom to write your own script, would you choose to alienate half or more of your audience?
I remember when Kirsten made me mad everytime she opened her mouth. I think she has changed...because she articulates her point of view too well not to believe what she is saying. Just my opinion.
