36. She'll be well compensated for her efforts

So I'm not feeling too sorry. That being said, if Griffin can put forward substantive arguments for her point of view, she may earn the respect of the rest of the panel. When McCain got pushback for some asinine statement, she likely as not would complain about how everyone else was treating her, why won't you give me a break, and don't you know who my father was. Even at that, Goldberg or Behar would sometimes take McCain's part and try to rehabilitate her asinine comment into something defensible.

There are substantive discussions to be had on any number of subjects. But everyone needs to bring a coherent argument to the table, not just cant.
