Did anyone catch Madeline Stowe on the Ed Show?

edited to fix typo

Wow! She was awesome. Smart, well-informed, and a compelling speaker. She's giving a keynote address at an event to support women's causes in Virginia and spoke out against the ultrasound-before-abortion bill and the proposed contraception ban. She is a supporter of Eric Cantor's opponent, Wayne Powell.

I've seen her a few times on this silly tv series on ABC, Revenge. And now i'm wondering why an obviously smart woman is in such a ridiculous tv show. I guess they're paying her well.

Good work, Ms. Stowe!

If you want a bit more than the predictable general pablum out there, it's bleedin' fantastic.

I was in the kitchen, but could hear her. I am glad she is speaking out for women's rights and supporting Wayne Powell. I have adored her since I saw her in the movie Revenge, starring Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn, I haven't seen the TV series by that same name.

I've seen more than one actor unable rise to the occasion during a speech or even an interview, but Madeleine Stowe was just golden -- articulate, on-message. There wasn't a false note.
