Candy Crowley

Where have you been good looking ? I like your new hairdo. What a change! Its long overdue. I know you have to look your best given millions of people are going to be watching the town hall debate, but jeez, millions of people have been watching you for years. What took so long ?

If she were on Fox, she would’ve been replaced by a blonde, 19 year-old former beauty pageant winner by now.

(that said, for 63, Crowley looks pretty good.)

I agree, she’s looking better lately . . . not that it has anything to do with her being an awesome journalist.

But personally, Sanjay Gupta and Rob Marciano are more my type.

But…does she talk to the dead? I want to know what goes on in her head!

Does she ride a white horse? (It’s symbolic, of course.)

I haven’t thought that since she went totally in the tank for Bush. All it took was for him to wrap an arm around her shoulder and give her a kind nickname. Every report she presented for years on was simply repetition of WH talking points.

She lost quite a bit of weight a couple of years ago. She’s still no size 0, but she’s noticeably smaller than she was previously.

I’ve thought she must be a very good journalist to be merely normal looking and be on CNN. :slight_smile:

I don’t get what the big deal is about the follow up questions she wants to be able to ask? Evidently the candidates both issued a memo saying that they won’t answer follow up questions by Candy, only answering questions directly from the audience.

But she never agreed to that? Anyone got the scoop?

You can see in this video clip she is a bit upset and defensive about being able to ask follow up questions, just like other debate moderators in town hall settings did.

A while back, they showed her addressing a classroom of high school students who planned on becoming journalists. There was a lot of give and take between her and the kids, and she was excellent.
