It's not all bad

Cokie Roberts is hanging out in St. Paul, thanking goodness that New Orleans is faring better than expected and that it will allow McCain some distance from G.W. and Cheney to have preempted the RNC coverage in favor of the hurricane. Let me just say that while Roberts is a conservative she is also smart and witty and not a bad example of the status a woman can achieve in her sixties. Between Cokie and Gwen Ifill fluffing pillows in the Twin Cities, I'm generally ashamed of my inability to pursue journalism as a career. Oh, to be sexy in a suit, with an Emmy or a string of debate moderating credits to wear around my neck instead of pearls.
