Not as bad as that previous clownish episode, but a horrible makeup job nonetheless.

Only when he conducts highly relevant interviews with models and porn stars.

Most leftists think conservatives are either evil and or dumb. Conservatives think liberals are, at worst, naive. I speak from authority because I used to be a leftists. I’m still liberal on most things but have become wiser with age. The reason the left can be so nasty is because they believe that conservatives are not good people and that when fighting a devil no quarter should be given. Actually it’s reminds me of what what Nietzsche said about fighting monsters-i.e., take care not become one yourself.

Is it just me or does Mary Kathrine just look better each time she is on TV. She is really getting a sophisticated look. (with or without scarf)

Scarf looks like a noose.

In tomorrow’s New York Times, they will report that MKH was observed walking around NYC with a shadowy male figure that day. That, combined with the scarf (obviously covering up a hickey) suggests she was having an illicit affair. With whom was she having an illicit affair? Nobody knows… But it is interesting that AP frequently links to her blog and posts her O’Reilly clips…

Wow, speculation is fun. I’d love to get paid to do this. Where can I apply to become a reporter at the NYT?

Who’d she lose a bet to that required her to wear that scarf?

Maybe she is hiding hickies.

It’s just so … un-Hammerish.

It’s time to send that “Go Hunting” video to the recycle bin, AP.

She looks overly made up too.
deewhybee on February 21, 2008 at 12:18 AM

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thinks this. Scarf was fine, clashed just-a-bit but so what. That wasn’t as distracting as the makeup.

Speaking as a woman, MKH is naturally gorgeous and too much makeup just ruins a beautiful woman’s face, esp when she smiles – bc she’s even more pretty then. Makes me sad because someone in the makeup room’s doing this to her sometimes and she’s letting them. She never looks overly made up when she’s doing her own (in the HamNations etc).

Embarrassing tho, we’re spending all this time discussing her appearance. The other thing that struck me is how well she consistently deals with O’Reilly, who tho I admire his conservativeyness is, frankly, an interrupting jerk even to his fellow cons.

Oh, Lord, NO!

MKH gave in to that silliness:

Information wants to be free.

Um, no, it doesn’t. Is a notepad document self aware? If so, is it as smart as an XML document?

People want information to be free. Even people who do not necessarily have the right to publish that information.

I’ve added it to my list of pet peeves… just before “irregardless” …

She was hiding a tattoo that says “My face is up here^.”

That scarf is hideous, especially with the way the lipstick matches it. Sorry.

Great content though!

I don’t know fashion, so I’ll pass on the exit question (and especially on some of the answers already given). All I know is I haven’t seen an outfit yet that ruins the look.

For once, O’Reilly gets it.

Ms. Ham has those Venus next door looks that she should not know the power of.

She is so close to letting bill have it with his technophobic fuddy-duddy ways.

Taking bets on whether Bill will yell and point his finger at her.

My bet is someone in the studio noticed her low cut blouse and said something. Too much sexiness on the screen. William Amos on February 20, 2008 at 11:10 PM

That's what I thought when I first saw it live. Makes the most sense. It would explain why she's wearing a pink scarf with a blue blouse. Clashing!

The scarf looks bad. She looks overly made up too. I agree she is hiding something. Hickeys?

She gets my vote for hottest conservative babe even with the scarf.

I have nothing to add to the substantive debate going on about the difference between ideologies and their blogging styles.

Oh wait. I’m sorry. We were discussing the scarf! It looked OK to me. Just because MKH will punch you out if she’s working drive thru and you throw your coke on her, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a softer side :-)
