1. I go back and forthon Shuster--to his credit he didn't get reflexively defensive in

this clip. I almost got the impression that he was glad to have Hamsher saying those things so that he wouldn't have to.

2. Yeah, me too. There have been some great moments

from him - but also many many times where he acts just like the typical corporate media whore as well.

4. True.

That about sums it up.

3. I don't want to be sexist but

...Jane's looking pretty hot.

As well as her being on the side of the angels.

5. I think Jane would appreciate what you've said...

After all she produced Natural Born Killers, and hangs out with L7... I don't think you'd be insulting her sensibilities too much.

[navarth]

7. Really!?!

She produced that movie? Wow. Who's this L7? Sorry, I must be a square not to know that.

If I wasn't a happily married man, I'd be thinking impure thoughts about Jane...

6. Her first answer was thoughtful, thorough, and complete. What happened to Cantor's southern accent??

:shrug:

I was wondering who she was and why I had never seen her on the TV before

I looked her up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Hamsher

and then I listened to her answer...that's why she isn't on TV very much-she gives a clear and coherent argument based on facts. Oh and she is "from the left" they don't have us on they just talk about us like we aren't in the room.
