If anyone decides to send roses to Katy Tur and Hallie Jackson let me know

I REALLY want to say thank you to these two terrific road warriors. Katy Tur, in particular, has stood tall against the flames aimed at her from within the Dumpster Fire. She has been there since Day One.

1. I really hope Katy doesn't have to do the "election night victory party"

with Trump.

It could get ugly and she is one of the more likely "blame targets".

2. I think she would want to be there for "the last laugh."

3. I think she would want to be there because she is a journalist and it's her job

But she should be getting war correspondent pay out of this. And, unlike war zones where people are simply shooting at the other people, she is being targeted.

OK, nobody is aiming a gun at her (so far), but the anger is real.

4. Oh, no doubt she will cover the Trump "concession party" professionally.

And she will smile on the outside, but maybe inside she will be all and I would understand.

5. Someone started up a GoFundMe to pay for a vacation for Katy.

She herself weighed in on it and requested that the money go to the Rory Peck fund:

Kim,
Thank you. This is hilarious and hugely flattering. I do need a vacation.

Soon.

But this money shouldn't go to my post election margarita fund. I have a solid job and supportive network behind me. If you wouldn't mind, I would be honored if you could forward this money to the Rory Peck Fund.

It supports journalists who do not have an influential news network behind them. They are reporters who go to war zones and hostile environments as freelancers. Or reporters who live in countries where freedom of the press does not exist. They risk their lives to keep us informed. The Rory Peck fund helps keep them and their families protected.

Thank you to everyone for watching, caring, and fighting for us!! (Also thank you for reminding me that a beach and a cold drink are on the horizon)

Katy

I had huge respect for her before, just for enduring what she's had to deal with covering that campaign, but this is just the icing on her awesomeness cake.
