Hey thanks for doing these! Jen Psaki deserves her own late night show. I'd pay to see her blog about events. She's kind of my hero these days, the way she takes stupid duplicitous questions and just destroys them. With logic. ^_^

Another Lucille Ball story: When she pitched I Love Lucy to CBS execs, she proposed that it would star her and her husband Desi Arnaz as husband and wife. They told her they could not possibly put on a major show showing a white American girl married to a Cuban guy, because audiences would not believe that was possible. She said, "Fuck that!" (I may be paraphrasing a bit) and insisted. She won that battle. So, in the 50s we had Lucille Ball standing up for diversity and nepotism.
