1. She should have resigned the moment the bad news broke.

She's been an embarrassment, and more importantly, provided
the media with a very-useful distraction during a crucial time
in Obama's administration.

5. Yes, Duckhunters link helped, I do remember that incident, but I thought

that was a security issue and they weren't on the guest list.

I guess Rogers waved them through regardless but I didn't see her name cited in the N.Y. Time column.

I am curious about one thing, does anyone know who owns Bravo?

8. Bravo is owned by NBC Universal.

Along with USA Network, Universal HD, CNBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, and AMC (American Movie Classics).

7. About tine

Should have resigned immediately after State Dinner fiasco. Cronyism protected her until now, when she could leave after a time lapse AND after making the
'Secret Service take the fall for her incompetence and egoism and closeness to the Obamas.

Talented as she may be -- not good enough at the most important details.
