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?
