petty annoyance

There is a downside to a week in a training seminar that starts at 9... Freakin' Cokie Roberts on NPR. That woman drives me crazy. She was just parroting the line about how Congress's low poll numbers are the Democrats' fault.

(Frankly, were I a Dem congressman going home for vacation, I'd just point out the GOP filibusters and refusals to vote and consistently supporting the administration. )

But honestly, the days when I've heard her "analysis" I've wondered why she gets paid to deliver it. When it isn't painfully obvious, it's ... well, is "wrong" too strong a word?
