And where does she work now? WJLA in WASH, DC. -- an "Albritton Communications" franchise (to the right of Attila the Hun). WJLA is an ABC outlet that was one of the few that deep-sixed Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" TV show, which, because DC was a Big Six market, ensured the show's demise.

They're not into fairness, but they haven't been since the Reagan era. ABC has always been this way. It's no surprise.

I remember when Arnold was running for Governor, Maria Shriver was forced out of her job. No such happenings here in Boston.

Really. She took an unpaid leave of absence while that jerk Ahhnuld ran, and kept her options open. Then, when he won, she went back for a bit, but she was invested in shilling for her husband's administration, and (quite rightly) the network said "We'll have none of that." So, she took her ball and went home--she had the option of just playing it straight and not coloring her commentary with Ahhnuld-shill, but she didn't want to go that way...she had to make a choice and she made it. Wonder if she regrets that call?

She was giddy with the political prospects (the Senate for Ahh-nuld was being discussed back then), and was enjoying the whole First Lady experience. If she knew then what she knows now, though, I wonder if she wouldn't have just taken the money and run! She gave up HER primo moneymaking years as a television presenter to support that asshole's ambitions.

Oh, to have a time machine!

Since record-keeping wasn't a priority in Mississippi at the time, I doubt there's any physical record of it.

I'm not sure if she "identifies" herself as Native American. It would seem she does not because of how she has filed forms in the past. What is coming out is a maybe and maybe not that at one time or another she has claimed Native American status, and rightly so, by her own beliefs. So, she has done nothing wrong no matter how much Brown cries about it. When confronted with a question on an application about your genealogy, one has every right to answer truthfully to the question. By all accounts she has done this. If the institutions use this information then what does that have to do with Warren? This issue has legs and I am sure the media will beat it to death and ignore Brown's record. Or just pass him off as moderate which he ain't.

I don't know how uncommon this is, to hear these kinds of stories in one's family history.

I have no idea if there's any truth to what I've been told, or not.

Until they start DNA testing everyone to determine their heritage, well, who's to know who's who in the zoo?

Madeleine Albright was a Roman Catholic until she learned that she was born a Jew. People know what they're TOLD. Can't blame people for believing what they're told, can we?

employment on a good day, but when you look at the population figures, you'd think you'd see more native peoples here and there in jobs than you, in fact, do.

It's an old family name, but the ancestor seems to be a black sheep because he's not hanging with the "respectable" folk (of course that all depends on perspective, I suppose). The native blood may have been out of upstate NY.

I really need to do the DNA thing myself, and at least get a few clues. I am multi-ethnic, but I really don't know for a certainty what's up in there!!
