Ms. Kasparian was much the same for her first 3-6 months on the show. I think Jackie is just nervous. Perhaps she's no Rhodes Scholar, but to say that she brings nothing to the table is both a cynical assumption and needlessly unkind.
If I thought it was needlessly unkind, I wouldn't have said it. I'm not the kind of person that says stuff to people for the sake of being unkind. In fact I think I went out of my way to give her the benefit of the doubt. If it seemed unnecessarily unkind, I apologize to Jackie and to Jackie only. My intention was honesty, not malice.
Also, I think you've read a little too much into what I wrote. I did not make a single comment about Jackie's intelligence or her being a Rhodes scholar. You don't have to be stupid to be out of your element. Einstein was a genius, but he'd be out of his element on TYT as well. I love Cenk and his enthusiasm for evolution, but he seems to be out of his element on science. Not every user name you see that isn't a forum regular is a sock puppet or a troll.
What you say about Ana may or may not be true, couldn't say. I've only been following the show for a little under 2 years. I'll have to take your word for it as I don't think you have any reason to lie about that.
My decision to reply to your post and not another was purely arbitrary; yours caught my interest enough to make me want to reply.
