Anyone else have a hopeless crush on Soledad O`Brien?

Im smitten. Long before even MSNBCs show, The Site, I glimpsed her on some future tech Discovery channel show and tumbled.

Shes half black Cuban and half Australian Irish (or would that be Irish Austalian?) What a combination! Yes, I know shes a Harvard grad who writes articles and give lectures on cyberlife for women, she`s artiulate and intelligent, but that is not what I watch the screen.

I say, kick Katie Couric out to pasture, and give me Soledad for two hours every morning! (err...that didn`t come out quite right.)

Admit it - that’s EXACTLY what you meant! :smiley:

There was a conversation at work the other day about attractive newscasters and my nomination was Soledad O’Brien. And I haven’t even seen her since The Site, I didn’t even know if she was still working.

But yes, she works for me.

She hosts “Weekend Today”, but lately she’s been in the baby making business.

Soledad has won journalism awards from African-American, Hispanic and Irish-American groups. So a week after being told shes done fine work promoting the image of Latino women in the media, shes in Dublin being told she`s a fine little coleen.
We need a Newsbabe site. Many weary men and women have their spirits lifted by turning off the sound on some dreary political fabrications or lurid crime, and instead studying the faces of women like Soledad. The Weather Channel is also warmly appreciated this way, and I dare say many of you guys with a fondness for a certain weatherbabe can name every state on the map, just by osmosis.

She is a cutie, as is Sophia Choi.

I still pine over Lynn Russell, even though she is 20 years older than any other woman I find attractive.

7

Do you guys think crying out “Oh, Soledad!” in the heat of passion would be kinda funny?

8

Seeing as I am Mexican, and Soledad is Spanish for ‘loneliness’.

Its completely customry for me :smiley:

Oh, I didn’t know her name actually meant something!

10

Her real name was Maria de la Soledad something, and I might guess she was named after a saint.

Her name, although distinctive, does sound like an Irish prison or some sort of spicy potatoes.

As for how it sounds when calling it out in a passionate moment, well, dreams fade when we wake. Still, maybe I`ll do something incredibly notorious and insist that I will only grant an interview with one specific reporter.

11

It would kinda sound like yelling “Soul Daddy” to her in the heat of passion.

That would be kinda weird.

12

She is quite lovely, but I’ve been in love with Kathy Rogers from Junkyard Wars for years. Mmmmmm mm mm mmmmm mm, love me some Kathy.

13

I think that was the Know Zone, which was sponsored by Sun Microsystems.

14

But saying, “Sorry, Soledad” right after would be fun…

I wonder if anyone will get my reference

15

I wouldn’t call my crush hopeless.

I have only to be patient, as always.

16

I think Paula Zahn is quite a dish, too. But yeah, Soledad is a bunny.

17

Sweet! What are her rates?

Soooollleeeedad…

Memorial day weekend, I was up in NYC and went to see the Today Show. I was outside and saw Katie and Soledad. Wow, Soledad is BEAUTIFUL. But I gotta admit…I got a little thing for Katie. Heh.

Tibs.

If it weren’t for Bill Hemmer, I would never watch the news. At approximately 6:57 pm, whenever I’m at home, I have a minor internal struggle - should I watch Friends, Seinfeld, or Bill? Bill always wins. When I refer to my future husband, everyone who knows me knows I’m talking about Bill. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m kind of partial to Mary Alice Salinas.
