When Gretchen first arrived on the show she was making a comparison between Kerry and Dubya. She said, (paraphrasing here):
While Kerry was in the military, George Bush wasn't.
GAG!
Well I'll miss Kiran. I don't watch CNN much so she's likely gone from my viewing schedule.
I'm not really a big FOX News Gretchen fan when you think of her as Kiran's replacement, although I do remember her Miss America run - and being a native Minnesotan I realized the significance of her victory in that pageant (she blew away her dunder-head competition in the talent event as a concert violinist).
I am happy to see her become a mild success post-pageant as a FOX News personality. She has paid her dues. She's good people and a talented, caring member of her community.
Hopefully Kiran can sweet talk a little sense into those liberal idiots at CNN. I'll miss her, but I can understand FOX looking at Gretchen & her resume and thinking 'we really need to give this woman a shot'.
