made Brian Williams seem like a charismatic guy tonight.

(30,540 posts)they seemed to both be having a good time with each other.
It was nice to see him kind of warm up for a change. I like the guy but she just seems to have a knack for making people feel comfortable letting their guard down.

(70,725 posts)The LOooooong talking-in-paragraphs, detail by gory detail used to irk me a lot more, but she was always the real deal for me, and the tolerance and grace she has shown to the vilest wingnut a-holes (lots of redundant words here) makes her shine.
As for WILLIAMS, I never watched him more than in infrequent snips for years, but I was taken in by him as being authentic in his news reading, while also being puzzled by the mannequin dress-up he favored and I started calling him "The Wedding Cake Dude" way back when. His crashing seemed to verify that his plastic exterior was symbolic of the inner emptiness. I never thought he'd be back on the air. But he has been performing gracefully on a performance level, and he seems looser, like the ordeal gave him a fatalistic swinging-on-the-vine.
And Rachel and whassername, the Repuke that got herself kicked off The View, have been supporting him with all the yuk-yukking and bon mots. I don't think he deserves it.
