Am I the only one who thinks Ana Marie Cox is monumentally annoying?

[Stinky The Clown]

No argument with whatever it is she talks about. I just find her so annoying I can't even hear what she says.

[ashling]

1. No, you are not

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No. I turn off the TV whenever she appears.

She irritates the hell out of me.

[Strelnikov_]

3. No n/t

[madokie]

4. I go for the mute button,

her and the dude that comes on at the sometimes too

[Strelnikov_]

5. I thought one of the high points of Seder v Maron was when they were panning

her.

Considering AAR subsequently hired her as a 'correspondent' probably partially explains the demise of said show.

[eleny]

6. nope

[targetpractice]

7. She shares similar bad speaking habits with me...

We both interrupt ourselves before finishing sentences, and we both share other nervous speaking habits... like repeating phrases... an almost stutter. I have ADD and I wonder if she does, too?

I've enjoyed her on Rachel's show, and I think she's really sharp and funny... But, I've found it almost impossible to listen to her radio show, The Inside Story.

[depakid]

8. She does just fine and is a whole lot more intelligent and ethical than her shallow detractors

[burning rain]

9. Her thing is well-done, but shallow snark.

You quickly get your fill of it. It's like you can eat a sugar cookie or two, but you can't make a meal of 'em.

[depakid]

11. Wow- you don't see the irony in that comment, do you?

[burning rain]

14. I do, but I'm nice enough not to rub your nose in it.

:P

[depakid]

24. I suppose more folks would find her comments appealing with a BBC accent

Then again, if she spoke like that, she wouldn't get the access. Sometimes, an authentic sugar cookie works.

[bermudat]

10. I like her.

Just curious how many men on cable do you find 'annoying'(is that code for shrill?)

and faux news doesn't count.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. I am of the female persuasion and I find her intensely annoying.

I am also highly annoyed by certain males who appear on Countdown -- specifically, Craig Crawford and Michael Musto. It isn't always about gender.

[Stinky The Clown]

23. Matthews comes **immediately** to mind ..... but you go ahead with your .....

.... projectionism.

[mitchtv]

12. Funny, I think she's just fine

I rather like her, but maybe I'm not critical enough

[arthritisR_US]

13. I find her just fine as long as my mute button is in order. n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Thank you! I was just thinking that, myself...

I'm always bummed out when Rachel has her as a guest, way too often for my taste. I just can't listen to her. I don't really know why... x(

[bridgit]

16. Well I hear you, but I find the Chip'n Dale-like play of their segment to have redemptive properties

[itsrobert]

17. I like her

And the fact she annoys you, I like her even more. ;)

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Bwaaaahahahaha

Man, you are one very small person!

:rofl:

[HughMoran]

27. I initially read "smart person"

You'd have been better served to not respond in kind, if you know what I mean.

[nevergiveup]

18. I feel neutral about Ana Marie Cox but I will tell you someone I do

find terribly annoying and that is Michael Musto who often times makes an appearance at the conclusion of Countdown. I take a bathroom break whenever he comes on.

[grasswire]

20. Musto's redeeming quality IMO...

...is that he has the ability to make Keith blush.

[grasswire]

19. ugh

I honestly don't know what she adds.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

21. Nope, you're not

At first I found myself wondering, "Huh?" whenever I heard her. I finally gave up - she speaks very quickly and incoherently. It's really too bad because she's no dummy.

[liberalmuse]

26. Nope. n/t

[HughMoran]

28. Just a couple of months ago there was a thread here that couldn't praise her enough

...and most people agreed with the O/P then too!!!

Studying the sociology of DU is almost as interesting as the politics discussed here.

[ShortnFiery]

29. Yes, you're the only one.

<TEASING YOU!!!> :-) :hug:

We all have our preferences.

IMO, she's OK by me but admittedly quirky and not for everyone. Perhaps that partly why I like her, i.e., she's a geek like me.

[pscot]

30. Stick to ESPN, PBS and Cspan

and yóu won't have to put up with her. Or Palin either, for that matter. Neither of those bimbos add much value to your day.

[ChicagoSuz219]

31. Weird, she doesn't bother me at all... it's that Peggy Noonan...

...that makes me want to throw things. Is it me, or does she always sound drunk... even at 6am?!?

[The Wizard]

32. Met her in a hotel bar

in Nashua, New Hampshire during the 08 primaries. Of all the notables I spoke to there she was the most honest and down to earth. She's someone I enjoyed drinking and talking with.
All the young male reporters were hanging all over her like a cheap suit. Of course that's not my style. I just started out with a smile and a rude remark. She got the joke.
