The Cable Gamer has newfound admiration for Soledad O'Brien after reading this article, by Joanne Fox, in The Sioux City Journal.
She spoke at a dinner to benefit Catholic schools in Iowa. That alone is enough to bring TCG around, but here's some interesting
Here's some good stuff from the piece:
"My first job interview was in Massachusetts and the manager told me I didn't look 'black' enough," she said. "I called my mother and cried and she told me, 'Lovey, get over it.'
"At another job interview they felt 'Soledad' was too difficult a name and would I consider changing it," O'Brien continued. "I told them my full name was Maria de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien, which means The Blessed Virgin Mary of Solitude, and I wasn't changing it. I called my mother crying again, and she again told me to get over it."
TCG always thought that Soledad got a bad deal from CNN when she was pushed off "American Morning" for that tramp, Kiran Chetry. Now she feels that way all the more so.
