So, is Gretta replacing Pedro?

This is for C-Span junkies only.

It seems to me that I'm seeing less and less of Pedro, which is a shame, and more and more of Gretta. Don't get me wrong, I really like Gretta. In fact I think she should take over from Brian on facist-fridays and clean it up.

1. Pedro tends to be on the air on Sundays.

Actually, you don't see Connie anymore and very little of Susan.

2. I hope not, I like Pedro. I do miss Susan and Connie though.

What has happened to them? Susan and Pedro are my favorite hosts. :shrug:

Gretta is still growing on me. I think she'll do OK. It's just that I hate change. I like my familiar hosts. She's the first new host in years.

I love Brian Lamb even more after last Friday's reading and responses to the Savage nation e-mails.

3. Susan, ah, dear Susan

Truly a breath of fresh air.

Brian moved up about three notches on my pegboard with the reading of those idiotic E-Mails too.

At first I disliked Gretta, she seemed shell shocked by the callers. That's cleared up and she's doing just fine now. She has mastered the art of asking just the right question to stop a real screamer dead in their tracks or to simply refute gross inaccuracies. Brian is the best at that sort of thing of course but Pedro could do it with a smile and put a smile on my face at the same time.

5. Pedro has the best ties and suits! He is hawt! (I am such a CSPAN geek. Oy!)

Gretta is doing better. She does look less shell shocked as time goes by. I must admit, I wouldn't last long at that job. I'd end up yelling at the idiotic callers and then hanging up on them!

Brian is the master of Washington Journal call answering!

4. Does anyone think Gretta got the job

because of her looks? She seems a bit lightweight to me...

6. I was wondering that myself. But did Pedro get his job because of his looks?

Maybe Connie wanted to retire or go on to another job either at CSPAN or elsewhere and they needed to hire another female host.

SHe's grown on me. I think she was really nervous at first but she's getting better.

She is a good looking woman.
