8 more reasons why I don't like Erin Burnett
http://www.menshealth.com/best-life/schedule-saving-travel-tips

I googled her name when looking up what the response was by the media for
her snotty, condescending, rich piece of crap, hit piece on the occupy wall street
movement and found this little gem. It is from 2007 but i don't think she has changed
much since then outside of her getting engaged to some banker.


8 Ways to impress me
To draw the attention of CNBC anchor Erin Burnett away from the ticker, think schedule savers and travel


1. Pack Your Bags
Any guy who can plan a trip to an exotic locale, such as Mongolia, Mozambique, or Papua New Guinea, would impress me.

4. Relax Me
Yoga keeps me calm, so I'd be impressed if you thought to send a yoga instructor to my apartment for private session

snip

7. Please My Palate
Hiring a personal chef to prepare meals for the few nights a week I am home would be unforgettable.

7. She's where she is because of how she looks. Same ol', same ol'. In
various industries, that's the way it is. Esp on TV. Just flip the channels. When I read comments by other pundits about female TV personalities, almost always there are comments about her appearance.

9. I don't think she looks all that hot either.
Sort of like some people think Palin is attractive, I sort of vomit in my mouth a bit when I hear that. Ugly hearts just don't look good to me in any setting.

2. Wow - she (R) really thinks she's eeleete as she is lost in materialism (R)
As Ms. Burnett demonstrates, Republicon family fatcat values are soooo crass.

3. I'd forgotten about that. Fascinating that all the ways to impress her
involve spending a boatload of money. On her.

6. I don't see anything wrong with liking a guy who sends you a yoga instructor...
or sending you a chef to cook you a gourmet meal. The food thing is not my thing, but a private yoga instruction would be great, I guess. Except I'm pretty private. I'd rather go to a yoga class.

Don't see what's wrong about those things you list. It's just a silly article about what a guy (presumably with a good income, like her) can do to impress her. Having read Glamor, Cosmo, Ladies Home Journal, and countless other women's magazine for decades, it's typical.

8. I don't care about how other people spend their own money..I do care about
lesser attractive females who might be more qualified for jobs, but never get the opportunity..

16. she also included books, and exercise bike(which some might think would be offensive)
what the list shows would prefer things that involve experience rather than specific things like jewelry.
