O'Malley was late for the interview and Rehm ripped him on-air and that is all reporters are talking about.

The only time the media pays attention to O'Malley is when it is negative. So frustrating.

O'Malley easily clears the hurdle for the Dem debates.

Rehm is pretty uninformed and abrasive so I don't normally listen to her.

Rehm is very good at moderating discussions of both sides of an issue. When she is uninformed she asks questions. If she makes a mistake, she immediately apologizes. It is an excellent show, and her reputation for fairness attracts a lot of very interesting people. Your characterization of her is skewed, askew.

6. I completely disagree. She came across as petty and uninformed in that interview.

I've heard other interviews with her and came across with the same impression. She has no idea what she is talking about.

and now listening. Haven't yet heard anything petty from her, but will continue to listen.

EDIT: Just went back to the beginning and did hear her scolding of him (He was on Military Road, near my former home in DC.) I didn't care for the scold.
