Who is the drunk woman on the MSNBC debate panel?

[southlandshari]

Forgive me for starting a thread on this, but curiosity is getting the best of me. Maybe she has some sort of speech disability, and if so, I definitely apologize. But the dark-haired woman on the panel slurred her way through post-debate discussion after the first presidential debate, and if anything, seems less coherent tonight.

Help, anyone?

1. Please!

Don't make me self-kick this ridiculous thread again - if you know who she is, please reply so I can let it go and get some sleep!

6. Heck, you're better than Benadryl!

Which knocks this insomniac out for the count (and leaves me barely functioning for the next 24 hours!). So I usually just DU until I drop. Thanks for helping me towards the sleep I desperately need!

2. LOL, that's Melinda Henneberger, MSNBC/Newsweek Contributing Editor.

She just talks like that. I like her.

5. Thanks a million!

I figured I could learn her name and more about her at the msnbc.com website, but for some reason it jams up my computer (has been happening for months now), so I didn't want to go through that frustrating experience if I could avoid it!

I haven't heard all of her feedback after either debate, been flipping channels (and paying more attention to DU, thankfully). I know I liked what I did hear. Just couldn't help wondering why she seemed soooo slooooow and mellooooow!

3. She can talk like * and I would like her. She is one of us.
