I am hoping that Greta asks a lot of questions of her being an Irish Traveler.

As expected, Greta asked not a single question about the Travelers.

Greta's show (On The Record) is tabloid and getting worse each night. The "interview" consisted of Toogood saying, "I didn't, I mean I wouldn't - I mean, I was wrong - but, I couldn't, I mean - if I had, I was way over the top - but - I didn't - I mean, I wouldn't . . ." I wasn't far off in my previous prediction - she turned the show over to Toogood and just made sympathetic cooing sounds. Greta did manage to establish that Toogood "lost track of" her daghter on at least two occasions and had to be paged as the child had opened six or more Barbie toys - but, of course, according to Toogood, "That's just Maggie". There was not a word about, "Hey Lady, aren't YOU responsible for watching your FOUR-YEAR-OLD??!!"

Not only was the rambling "interview" with Toogood pathetic and extremely enabling, but, Greta's "panel" managed to blame it all on "Relegious fundalmentalists" and "Conservatives" who 1) advocate and teach the "mixed message" that beating children is Biblical necessity, and 2) evil Republicans who eliminated all "social and mental health programs" that could have helped "rehabilitate" this poor woman. Greta's guests were "in total agreement" (so much for "fair and balanced"), and they advocate lessening the Indianna felony child abuse charge to a misdemenor with probation. "You don't want to seperate this 4-year-old from her mother", the lawyer admonished.

At the very end of the sermanette segment Greta got in her 2¢ by reminding everyone that Ms. Toogood started her day with an argument between her and her sister and another with her husband "about money" - "she was already having a bad day" - so of course, a "bad day" (which had been repeated about 20 times throughout the show) excuses beating her daughter. It's all the fault of "Religious Conservatives" and "Republicans" after all.

Just because this liberal witch has a new face, do not forget what she is! In Greta's world, Freeper's are as much to blame for this beating as Ms. Toogood - socialist liberals always blame Republicans for everything; there is no personal responsibility in their world.
