Nikki Haley led the way in taking down the Confederate flag.

So sez Cokie Roberts on NPR this morning.

Cokie Roberts, for whom no good issue makes Democrats look good and no bad issue makes Republicans look bad.

Thanks, liberal media!

it's with visceral disgust and disdain. It's like she vomits the word out of her mouth. And she's got that smirk of Royalty on her visage.

during his Presidential campaign made him look too foreign and played into the birther crap.

After that, no one should give her any credence whatever. Yet the RW mainstream media loves to have her on these talking head shows to "balance" all the Republicans they book for these shows. With friends like Cokie........
