Pretty cool. :-)
Stuiped question though: Who took over for G. Stephanopoulis prior to Amampour? I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone know; or was there no official new host until her?

5. Jake Tapper was filling in |
|
I thought he was pretty good..much better than David Gregory. The podcasts for this show, meet the press, and Olbermann, Rachel and Morning Joe are available if you miss any episodes.

9. I'd take Amampour any day over David Gregory... |
|
Besides, the only thing George Will ever said worth listening to was when he did a book on baseball. Otherwise, he's an over-rated bore with a bad rug and botox.

Believe he is a Washington correspondent for ABC. Merely a chair-warmer.

10. They don't often put capable people on with George |
|
Will so it's good he had to match wits with Amanpour.
It sounds like he wasn't up to it.

CM could make this her show for a long time to come.
She's brilliant, quick, and a deep thinker.

15. Do you have a link? I looked at one video over at the abc site and only saw |
|
the piece on Afghanistan which was quite tame...
Which discussion was the incident on?

16. I'm happy to see her back on the air after CNN |
|
pretty much kicked her under the bus all these years. She's a very good reporter, even though she's not as left as say KO or Rachel.

18. I've always had a ton of respect for her. Didn't watch though. |
|
It was a beautiful day and I spent it in the garden. Didn't even take a radio with me. It was a wonderful head/weed clearing.
