Interesting back and forth about Jenna's "Today" show gig in a WaPo chat::
Florida Chick: Dreadful pandering, this hiring of Jenna Bush for the Today show. It wasn't enough that she was green-lighted for two books? With two years teaching experience and an unimpressive academic record? She would be lucky to get the teaching job on the merits she earned. Same greased skid as the dad had. I am boycotting the Today show. This is almost as bad as the Luke Russert hire, which was all-time bottom for "if you're famous you're in." I am disgusted. boycott.
Roxanne Roberts: To elaborate: Think like a TV producer. Who's going to get viewers: An education expert with years of experience who no one has ever heard of? Or Jenna?
