Somewhat off-topic, ABC’s Ann (Obama’s mouthpiece) Compton is finally retiring

Is that the hippo who "moderated" a debate during the last presidential election?

No. different hippo. Ann was, for the last four decades, the whiney White House correspondent for ABC radio. You probably heard her countless times at the top of the hour ABC News update. She more of less repeats whatever Obama says with little fact check of analysis.
