In Reply To: When I watch Melissa do her regular job in the afternoons, she is a poised professional news anchor. You can play the cantankerous old fool without being abusive to your co-workers, especially women. No reason for her to put up with the personal abuse. Does anyone think it is cool or fun or appropriate or whatever, to call a co-worker on national tv/radio a "slut" or to ask her if she's "wet" after debriefing a reporter in Baghdad?
Message: The simple fact is she had no idea about context...had little notion of the importance nor the impact of what she was reading. She simpy could not respond to Q's like: "what's all that mean, do ya think" from IMUS who I might add is very perceptive. The inhouse chatter was that Contessa was doomed from the start.
