2. Lately it's seemed like Olberman fills in for her
Olberman seems to hardly ever be on these days. His presence is almost like a "guest apprearance."

Anyone know why he's so rarely there?

4. I like her... Not as much as Kieth, but she keeps the same irreverant
Spirit for the show.

5. I think she does a pretty good job.
Is there something I don't know about her that I should?

8. Awww. I like Alison. I love Keith but if he is on vacation, Alison does
as good a job as anyone one can. Nobody else can be Keith.

Give her a break.

9. I'm neutral.
She seems harmless enough. Standard issue, attractive female talking head.

10. I'm amazed she has defenders
She should be a correspondent for MTV --instead of a fountain of meaningless tabloid bullshit and RW talking points.

She's everything that's wrong with the news media.

11. She's phony.
She comes across like she's acting the part.

Keith is the real deal. Or at least he acts that way.:+

14. She seems to try too hard to be Keith Olbermann
That's my main problem with her.

17. Considering the alternatives, other than David Gregory....
She's about the best. She doesn't come across as a Bushite...not yet.

18. I think she's pretty good
I think you are expecting her to be Keith and no one can do that except Keith.

She may not be as sharp as Keith but she does have a good deal of wit about her and she sure ain't tough to look at.

21. I'm not expecting her to be Keith
I just hate what has become of the news media -- and her gossipy "Gen X" delivery style epitomizes for me what is wrong with maintstream journalism.

22. She has snark!
Ms. Al Will She Sin?

Is good. Funny, smart, and a clear voice. What do you want a Fox
"porn star lip gloss babe?'

Trust me she is going to be big.

Alison :loveya: Stewart

24. She's one of the better subs
I watch less often when she's on, though, because she still isn't Keith.

26. I think she's adorable!
Plus, she follows the irreverent tone set by Olbermann. C'mon, give her another chance, Steven!

27. She's OK. At least she's not an Ann Coulter wannabe.
She seems to lean Left.

Her 'perkiness' grates on my nerves, but I don't have to watch her.... so I don't. ;)
