Judy free (and loving it)
FishbowlDC reports that Judy Woodruff, who has been ruining CNN's political coverage with her inane one-hand-other-hand perspective for years, is retiring from her post.
However, while Judy's wishywashyness and the ease with which partisan spinners could knock her around are a symbol of why CNN is not much better than Fox News, I am not looking forward to her replacement. After all, who's next? There's pop-politics maven Carlos Watson, who cares more about what people think than the truth. Anderson Cooper could be bumped up, but I like his show as it is right now, right down to the music they play before and after commercials. Aaron Brown is better suited for late-night, long-format discussions. Candy Crowley? Puh-leeze. That woman will be chasing around campaign caravans and lobbing softies to spokesmen until the end of time. Also, ixnay on the oledadSay, obbsDay, affertyCay and the rest of the losers that scrape by only because MSNBC is even worse.
Get some new blood. Or perhaps send Leon Harris a fruit basket.

I think "Mr. Crowley" should play every time Candy appears on screen, and she should wear goth makeup.

I think that sometimes, she already does. Maybe she should demand to be called Xendra instead of Candy.

And has anyone ever noticed how she passes that pencil back and forth between her hands? It drives me fucking nuts!
