So they send a shill to tout their style. Little pig-ignorant fops. How droll.</p> Now that GOP support has contracted to its toothless scabetic cracker base, they need to ward off the ever-present threat of class-based derision.

She’s been on the show since its inception, and she’s on frequently, but she can’t hold a candle to people like Adam Felber, Charlie Pierce, or Paula Poundstone. Even Roy Blount, who’s not as quick with the quips as her used to be, is far funnier than Roxanne Roberts. She’s just not fast enough. Poundstone’s “dry”, dmac, Roberts’ main source of humorous material is the fact that she has access to things like the state dinner with the Queen.</p> She’s about the least funny person on “Wait, Wait”.

She’s gossip columnist. She is really okay. I’m from DC and have family there and she’s right.

This particular thread has had some of the most mean, petty and ignorant comments I’ve ever seen on this site. A virtual gang-bang of unexamined snark. Roxanne doesn’t deserve this freakin crap.<br /> I’m an occasional commenter, and I have to say that I find this site to be as clique ridden and insider driven as an LA gay bar. It also has great info and insights a lot of the time. I’ve even contributed financially to the site. I’ve fucking had it with contributing to the comment thread though.
