What’s the name of your cell phone ring? my brother found it amusing to call during my tv appearances, so I switched to Vibrate
What time did you get up this morning? The time varies, the method doesn’t. I need the cell phone alarm, clock radio alarm, free standing clock alarm, and arrange for two wake up calls, sometimes from my Mom. Elaborate, but I’m never late.

What’s your favorite letter? I reviewed the alphabet. Nothing evoked passion.
What single person played the biggest role / had the biggest influence on your journalism career? Mr. Roger Ailes. A genius, despite hiring me.
Have you ever downloaded a podcast? If so, which one? News Hour with Jim Lehrer. It airs at the same time as The Simpsons…and
Tivo, maddeningly, can’t do what 1970s era VCRs could do, allow you to watch something on one channel while recording another. Just so you know.

Each FishbowlDC Interview subject is asked to contribute a word to this ongoing thread. Thus far we have…”Leprechaun suits shimmer Sensenbrennerly. Never regurgitate, orginate!
