She started the "earth tones" meme in 2000 and was responsible for "Who among us doesn't like Nascar?" in 2004.

And Fox News not conservative! It's a pathology -- with some people, politics is a pathology.<BR/><BR/>Here's what Digby had to say:<BR/><BR/>"Gannon has quite the schtick going for him. I don't know if it's a natural gift or if he has had help, but he handled it all quite deftly, I thought. He makes absolutely no sense, wanders off into unrelated subjects, claims victimhood at every turn, avoids questions like a pro and appears to me to be incredibly stupid, arrogant and deluded all at the same time. A clown that nobody in their right mind could take seriously. In others words, meet the next GOP nominee for President of the United States.<BR/><BR/>"I spent years right on this old blog screeching about George W. Bush being just as I described, assuming that any sentient person could see that he makes no sense, that he speaks in riddles that he is coached (badly) and that he has absolutely no idea that he is an idiot. It took me a long time realize that that is exactly what a lot of people like about him. He doesn't need to make sense as long as he claims to represent the "real" people who are predisposed to support him against the pointy headed know-it-alls who lord over them. I have little doubt that they think Gannon really kicked ass."John Lombardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959755263848992742noreply@blogger.com
