Get in line! She makes me wish to be unemployed again, Tamron has powered many a midday fantasy of mine. For extra amusement/stimulation, search youtube for 'Tamron Hall chicken noodle dance' to see her dancing with kids on a newscast. Awesome.

Pat Buchanan is to race relations what Sarah Palin is to higher learning and the Bush family is to whatever the hell the opposite of nepotism would be.
