Let's be blunt: she is not particularly intelligent or perceptive, as a quick contrast with the likes of Jessica Mendoza or Hannah Keyser will readily demonstrate. Waldman is a triumph of moxie and brash, relentless self-assertion and ass-kissing over basic competence. To compare her favorably to Chris Russo is analytical homerism at its worst: they're both empty-headed egos of the kind that proliferate in a culture that prizes style over substance.Hazel Moteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14613263675293006345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-36077558779472927072022-07-26T13:39:32.861-04:002022-07-26T13:39:32.861-04:00Wait’ll we get to the widescreen plasma TV version...Wait’ll we get to the widescreen plasma TV version.BTR999https://www.blogger.com/profile/06138306675136444386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-72288516846336822462022-07-26T13:15:06.125-04:002022-07-26T13:15:06.125-04:00ranger,

Yes, his brash style has been poorly imitated and caricatured by subsequent generations, but he's knowledgeable and entertaining. Much more sympathetic than his former partner.
