She was great, holding down the fort as the only female in the panel. Wow, I've never seen her before but, she could be my twin --in the facial features.

She was 'the girl in green, dancing queen, yeah the girl in green!" So well spoken and I like that I agreed with her on many points.


Check out the show if you haven't yet, it was some really good sparring going on and Abby came out of it with grace and I don't think she said anything to which I would disagree.

There was also this huge debate about climate change. They had this other guest, the youngest he's ever had on the show, a strapping young (19 yo) man who is working with scientists to further science education in our country. The conversation devolved into a climate change debate, and I had to pop some pop corn. This adorable young man (and I mean adorable -- I was feeling cougary), embarrassed the guest who was still trying to debate the validity of the issue.

If you haven't seen her before, check out Huffington Post webcasts. She seems to be always going sleeveless, as if to flaunt the fact that she is NOT wearing magic underwear. Google her in Google Images. Most photos are in sleeveless, short dresses. She was married by in protestant priest in the National Cathedral.

Jon Huntsman would ditch the Moism, I believe, if not out of respect for his father.

Thanks, I'll definitely will check out her podcasts.

Yeah I love Jon huntsman too. He's married to a Catholic. And I don't think he even goes to tscc. I think he's proud of his Mormonism heritage, because like you said, he loves his father.

His wife was raised Episcopalian, I believe, and probably converted to Moism in order to marry a Huntsman.

Interesting. Perhaps I'm remembering wrong. You know how they put up a candidate's stats during primaries? I remember it saying she was Catholic. Anyway, so do you think they are even active? I got the impression not.

If anyone thinks that Huntsman runs his business in a "Christlike" way and have above-average integrity, they need to think again.

Didn't someone post a threat about Huntsman letting the Pres. of TSCC use his personal airplane or jet? Isn't that telling enough?

Don't confuse Sr. and Jr.

Yes, it's Sr. who let the Pres. of TSCC use his private jet.

But a missionary who I worked with and whose father worked under Jr. definitely would not vouch for Jr.'s integrity, either.

I'm not sure about him "running a business in a Christlike manner." Do you have more info about that?
And I missed the thread about giving the Pres of tscc a lift on his plane, but I see him as very diplomatic...hmmm maybe just more diplomacy?

This article, though a bit old, might help.

And his jacket sleeves were 4 inches too long. What's up with that? I give him major props for going after the Louisiana state government for their anti-science laws. He also did a nice job of putting that motormouth cretin Steve Moore in his place. I about fell out of my chair when Moore, the second or third time started a long, scientifically clueless rant, opened it with "I'm not a scientist, but...". The teen guest quipped "we've already established that." Priceless!

Abby's comments never quit seemed to be on point. She didn't say anything egregiously stupid, just not much that made me think "good point!"

Bernie Sanders wasn't so much stupid as astonishingly rude, continually sticking his hand in Huntsman's face while gesticulating at Moore. Moore was somewhat less rude and quite e bit more stupid (not a scientist, indeed!), so I thought he and Sanders were both a waste of air time. Maher would have been better with with just his two under-thirty guests.

LOL! Yep that's the one! I guess I have a weakness for the
science-y types. Geek is en Vogue, ya know.

"Bernie Sanders wasn't so much stupid as astonishingly rude....Moore was somewhat less rude and more stupid."

Couldn't have put that better myself! Bernie is losing his spatial awareness or something. The pointing and putting his hands right in Abby's personal space -- she was very poised. I liked how she just kept pushing his hand out of her face.

The one thing that caught me was, um, I had no idea so many people believed in Big Foot! LOL!

Hi jl,

Thanks for the link. This was a great article and I gained some perspective as to why Jr's campaign never took off like I felt it should. Sr was a buttinsky!

And I see how it would seem at first that Sr's donations were"Christlike," yet after some reading, I see how he is really a volatile kind of guy -- a bully! And hanging out with Glen Beck, well that says it all LOL!

Too bad, Jr seems like a really nice person who could've been more successful in his political endeavors had his father not butted in.
