She IS an idiot whether she feels like one or not.

I remember her pathetic ‘hooker outfits’ during the interregnum between Couric & Viera - she wanted the co-host job so badly she would stop at nothing.

Heads up for this being a trigger for a much larger action, especially if AQ was involved in the attack.
