Cokie Roberts on Wolfie's show proving that ugly women can be
whores, too. Or at least women with ugly haircuts.

She's is mouthing GOP talking points.

1. How is she "the guest" anyway?
"My guest today is another working 'journalist'!"

WOW, Wolf!

What kind of news 'guest' is that?

5. She looks ugly to me.
She can't hide her inner reptile.

6. Commenting on women's looks and hair
Where oh where do I often hear people doing that, and to whom? I am sure it will come to be later.

8. I guess what I'm getting at is that it's impossible to be an
attractive woman when you are a BFEE operative because the inner ugliness wipes out anything you can do to your exterior.

Also, I just couldn't help but notice that she had been a victim of hairdresser abuse and I can really identify with that! Do you suppose her hairdresser is a Dem?

Very dated.

10. Um, chemotherapy
causes some people's hair to grow back rather wonky looking. I don't like her politics either, but, jeez, ragging the woman for her hair is poor.

12. Didn't know about the cancer
Edited on Fri Jul-18-03 06:12 PM by Woodstock
In light of that, yes, not a good thing to say, but I didn't know and bet others didn't either. It's not a woman thing - if she'd been a guy with a bad do, and such a freaking drag for so long, we'd have been exasperated enough to say something about it to lighten up the mood on a Friday evening, too. People who are beautiful inside, even if conventionally not so by objective standards, are also beautiful on the outside. The reverse is true, too, as barbara ann said.

18. Not so, Woodstock
I'm quite beautiful inside, but a pretty sorry mess on the outside. I really look forward to the day when a woman can be valuable because of what she is, not what she looks like. Kind of like Dennis Kucinich.....

14. Gee this is wonderful barbarann
I guess there is hope for me out in the public sphere now that ugly women are on TV! I thought I had to go to FR to get "hope" like this from their endless PIAP/dog threads about Hilary Clinton. Nice to know that I can stay home now and get the latest on what we ugly women can do!

Thanks awfully for the update!

11. and that SCRATCHY voice!
She needs lozenges and to be immediately fired so she can make sure her recovery is ongoing and permanent.

Her Dad Hale Boggs was a Congressman and a pro-Vietnam Democrat - a Zell Miller type. Is it any wonder she is a GOP apologist??

15. What a lovely, liberal critique........
I'm so glad we have come so far from the old days when women were only evaluated based on their looks and sexual availability.

17. Cokie is of a "certain class..."
she has no patience with the small people and the riff raff who get in the way of business and society as usual in D. C.

Whore's whore.

19. Let us judge her by her behavior on the air
Whiteous Bitch. My daddy was a congressman and I hung and with and heard all of stories and I am so better than smart, talented, and committed Presidents from Arkansas.
