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?

So what was your point again?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
