Who is this old hag and why should I listen to her?
Former ABC “This Week” co-host, now panelist on the program, Cokie Roberts
Yet another angry old-media outcast.
Cokie Roberts, she is the daughter of Hale Boggs, a former Democratic House Whip who was the product of a corrupt Louisiana political machine that dates back to Huey Long. Interestingly, Boggs was made a member of the Warren Commission that investigated the death of JFK. According to John H. Davis, author of The Kennedy Contract, a book that explores a possible Mafia connection in the assassination, Boggs “could be relied upon to...see to it that his principle financial backer, and behind-the-scenes power in the state government, Carlos Marcello, would not be mentioned in the commissions deliberations, which, as it turned out, he never was.”

A has-been liberal journalist that was replaced by George Stephanopoulos on ABC's Sunday news program years ago and now has to get a paycheck from NPR.
Who is this old hag and why should I listen to her?
She is the daughter of some dead southern Senator who became Georgetownized. Cokie was socially promoted into the journalism world due to her daddies contacts. She is quite the intellectual and so out spoken. And guess what, her daddy was a democrat. I believe he voted against the 64 Civil Rights Act, so she like Gore have serious pedigree when determining Clown status of persons beneath their status and intellect.
