Cokie Roberts thinks that the new group of women Senators are from "the extremes of their parties"..

and ABC showed pictures of Liz Warren and Tammy Baldwin while she was speaking. Now isn't that special? Cokie is fretting that there may be no way for congress to compromise in a way that she approves of, which I'm certain includes cucumber sandwiches, petit fours, and a fine Chardonnay at the negotiation tables.

Roberts, Noonan, Charon... Why are these women the go to spokespeople on women's concerns?

She said "Can a 21-year-old make an informed decision about sex?"

It's wayyyyy past time for Ms Roberts to ride off into the sunset of retirement.

I'd add George Will and occasional guest pundit Sam Donaldson to that group. Most of them have lost touch with where most Americans are.

Heidi is more honest, than truly Left. She is also a real people person. That is what distinguishes her from the Republicans there.

I can't believe Hale Boggs would approve of much of the bullshit his daughter has been spewing for the past couple of decades. I, for one, no longer listen her, let alone take anything she says seriously.
