About Me

How do I pay for my rent? I am an editorial board member of the Philadelphia Daily News and a political commentator for MSNBC. I am also a correspondent for Extra. I interview celebs about politics and their charities. And I am now heading overseas to do a show for Travel Channel called Miracle Quest where I will hunt down miracles and interview those who have experienced them and those that think they are bunk. There is tons more on the show on my site. I am really excited!
I studied religion at Harvard and now I can finally prove to my family that it has some practical use:)
I started my career in Pennsylvania, my home state. I have lived a bunch of places: Michigan, Iowa, the Dominican Republic, Los Angeles (where I still live half the time), but I am a Philly girl through and through. I started out by running several statewide campaigns for Democratic candidates, a job that is great for young folks. You get to learn so much and be tested in so many ways and meet such interesting people.
I was then lucky enough to be appointed chief of staff to Pennsylvania's Lieutenant Governor. At first the thought of moving to Harrisburg did not appeal to me, but I fell in love with it. It was a real honor to be the first woman and youngest ever to serve in the position and I thought of my brothers and sisters and hoped it would make them want to go into public service and know it was not just for old people. I also served as a member of Governor Ed Rendell's senior staff, how has got to be the coolest politician ever, I love that guy! Plus he comments for the Eagles--doesn't get much better than that!
I have been doing TV since I was 21 all because of politics. I started off at Fox News Channel, appearing on shows such as Hannity & Colmes and Fox & Friends. I am currently a commentator for MSNBC and CNBC, appearing on Scarborough Country, the Dennis Miller show (so bummed this got cancelled, it was fun!), Lester Holt Live, The Situation with Tucker Carlson, and Hardball with Chris Mathews. I have interviewed some amazing and interesting folks like Walter Cronkite, Prince Albert of Monaco, and Michael Moore. For Extra I have interviewed Bill Maher, Geena Davis, Jean Smart, Kate Bosworth, Marcia Gay Harden, Daryl Hannah, Larry and Laurie David, Al and Tipper Gore, Hill Harper, and Sharon Stone.
It has been such a fun ride, but this new show Miracle Quest I think will be the best yet. I have never been anywhere in Europe besides England so the traveling alone will be cool, but the subject matter wow! I cannot believe I get paid for this. If you guys want to see my pics or about the other stuff and join our family at Citizen Hunter I would love to have you!
