Claire is a caricature of the helicopter mom who has no life outside of her family, the un-liberated woman who always lets the man "win" so he can save face. She's played with such humanity that we don't despise her, but she's sure not anything I'd aspire to be.Lisa Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273391238820872246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-76305965844957941382010-07-10T00:08:31.805-07:002010-07-10T00:08:31.805-07:00Yeah, Julie Bowen.

She played the "girl next door" that got away. <br /><br />And by the way I notice a lot of beautiful actresses are described as the "girl next door". Up to my high school graduation, we lived in eleven different places, and I never lived next door to a girl that looked like Julie or most of the ones given that label.DwWashburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057278992504418291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-53162512888320029352010-07-09T18:31:03.113-07:002010-07-09T18:31:03.113-07:00Great to see a shout-out for Gina Bellman--she'...Great to see a shout-out for Gina Bellman--she's the main reason I started watching LEVERAGE in the first place--as it turns out, everybody else is quite good, too.<br /><br />There must be something in the water over in the British Isles--they turn out funny, beautiful woman in job lots over there. One of my favorite DVD sets is the sketch show MAN STROKE WOMAN with three beautiful, funny women in it (Daisy Haggard, Amanda Abbington, and Meredith MacNiell), also the whacked-out hospital farce GREEN WING where a Scottish actress named Michelle Gomez (yes, Gomez-she was born is Glasgow) was absolutely astonishing as the unhinged executive at a hospital full of unhinged sorts (by the time this character gives birth to a lion cub--it doesn't see all that weird--trust me).Matt Pattonhttp://mpatton1962.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-23162146573329657682010-07-09T07:04:57.359-07:002010-07-09T07:04:57.359-07:00I hesitate to add women from one source due to the...I hesitate to add women from one source due to the political leanings of our host. I'm not saying I agree with its the editorial viewpoint or its pundits. But, you can't ignore there are some great women at...<br /><br />Fox News.<br /><br />Hold your fire! Okay, here are two:<br /><br />Harris Faulkner - Smart. Funny. Amazing looking at 45. Can handle breaking news and longer interviews. Rachel Maddow however can probably make a better cocktail. <br /><br />Patty Ann Browne - Should have replaced Jane Skinner instead of Jenna Lee. Only Fox anchor with a gangsta' nickname (Notorious PAB). Always does well when she appears on Fox News' comedy panel show "Red Eye." Did anchor at MSNBC before FNC.<br /><br />Again, I will accept that Fox News' editorial policy is what it is. And, I'm not asking you to like Bill O'Reilly or heaven forbid Glenn Beck. I am simply putting out for discussion two women who should be in the mix.

He was attempting to discover whether Ms Kagan's judicial philosophy allowed for the Supreme Court to overturn laws that obviously expanded the power of government far beyond the limits of the Constitution, like the new health insurance mandates (i.e., can the government force us to do virtually anything, as long as they cite the excuse that it's good for us and saves the health care system money?) <br /><br />Her evasive response implied that just because Congress passed an idiotic, overreaching law, that didn't mean that the Court should do its Constitutional duty and uphold the rights of the people by overturning it. That didn't reflect badly on Coburn; it was a frightening glimpse of her views on the limits (or lack thereof) of government power over the freedom of the individual.<br /><br />Sorry for the anonymous posting, but I have to work in an industry where uncomfortable questions about liberal groupthink are not welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-50864671956044281432010-07-08T14:27:39.314-07:002010-07-08T14:27:39.314-07:00I'm a little annoyed no one has mentioned MY w...I'm a little annoyed no one has mentioned MY wife.

So, don't you agree that the show is probably the best talent competition on the air? It's innovative, has taken the art of dance and moved it forward with the fusion of different genres. It has genuinely talented contestants who are amazing athletes. <br /><br />The judges are real experts who've all put in their time in the trenches as dancers. Their comments are usually spot on and helpful. <br /><br />Ironically, my one criticism is with Cat Deely. She has, up to this season, been fabulous. Now, I find, she's become a little too aware of how adorable she is and just is "too, too cute" sometimes. <br /><br />However still love, love SYTYCD.<br /><br />PS.
