Glenn Greenwald wants to make this perfectly clear: He finds Megyn Kelly’s views “viscerally repellent.”

But the crusading privacy journalist has plenty of complimentary things to say about how the Fox prime-time host conducts herself on air.

“She has a lower tolerance for being fed incoherent tripe from her own side than the average cable news TV host,” Greenwald said in an email. “Most Fox and MSNBC hosts treat even

Obviously, when you’re attractive, you can get away with things that ugly people like me can’t get away with.”

I enjoy both Bill and Megyn’s shows.

I disagree with Bill about 15% of the time, especially when he gives obama way too much benefit of the doubt, but I guess he does it just to maintain some balance.

As for Megyn, yes, I find her extremely attractive, but she is also talented, fearless, and fun. Such an amazing mix of traits.
