Donna Brazil is Weak

[Stevendsmith]

Another gripe (it's Monday and I'm grouchy). Why is Donna Brazil the "liberal" on CNN's Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer’s Round Table? I have nothing really against her, but she's not an effective critic of the right. I mean, how did she get this gig anyway? Her commentary is wimpy and has no fire. There is Bush/GOP blood in the water and she throws softballs. She is buried by the wingers on the panel that do most of the talking. Late Edition is has a wide viewership, and CNN should put a liberal or two on the panel that can effectively dissemble the lies and abuses of the right. How about Chomsky?

Uh, yeah… that’ll happen.

1. That's the only reason she's on TV all the time

You think the RoveTV would feature Hightower, Franken, Pitt, Malloy, Alterman???? Those libs who want to keep their jobs don't strain the leash.

2. yep.. I was screaming at her this morning when I saw her on a morning show

She was way too soft of the SOTU issue.

WAY TOO SOFT.

4. donna brazile

first of all, she sucked as gore's campaign manager;

second, she's buds with karl rove. there've been a couple of articles on their chummy relationship.

third, she has absolutely no business being a point person on the niger/uranium issue (as she was on abc this a.m.). this only plays to the spin of this issue as a democratic/republican politics as usual deal.
