Kristen welken is so obsequious

[Anonymous]

She makes Uriah Heep seem aloof. I still miss Tim Russert. I thought Chuck Todd was bad but compared to Welker well, I wish he was still on MTP.

overly eager to help or obey at the wish or command of another person, especially to gain favor.

Guess you weren't taught any manners in the "5th Glade" either?

It can be liberally applied to all of Trump's picks and besties. Great word. The best word, even.

This is the politics forum where we apparently have to ask for definitions like we are in a spelling bee. Dear God.

In the tume it took you to type this, you could have looked it up.

I wouldn’t say she’s obsequious, but she doesn’t push back hardly at all and when she does, it barely registers. I wish we had the type of bad-ass journalists the Brits have who are tenacious as a dog with a bone and don’t move on to the next question until they get an answer to the last one.

I don’t know if this is fair. She allows people to talk and make up their mind.

Agreed. Not right fit. Wanted to see her succeed but her election night coverage was also sub par. H Jackson much better if they decide to replace Welker.

Well she went to Hahvahd so she must know what she’s doing. Right?

No one said she doesn't know. It's just not a right fit.

This.
Would also be good if the party out of power could demand as much accountability from the party in power as the MPs do in the British Parliament.

Maybe we should ask if they can take us back?
