You gotta figure that most "newsbabes" are gonna be either high maintenance (E. D.), dull (Laurie Dhue), an ice queen (Nauert), or just dumb as a post (Paula Zahn). Ms. Huddy seems to be none of those things.
Also, if ya dressed up Catherine Herridge in one of them domanatrix-type leather outfits you might have something. Think about it.
