Well, she certainly had time to speak with the other lady about her friggin real estate tax problem. Get real. This is the same woman who said, ""There are more young people in treatment for dependency on marijuana than for alcohol and for all other illegal drugs combined". WHAT?

C'mon people! A stealth video cam alone doesn't make you Edward R. Murrow. When you have to go pick up your waiting kids at school or are late for an appointment do YOU stop and chat each and every time someone shoves a camera at you?

I'm totally against the Iraq war but Thelma Drake responded the way I would have...walking and talking....Look, I'm late!!

Why would she give you more than any other person on the street would have in this situation?
