Well, most people remember Alison Stewart as an MTV news reporter from back in the day. Yeah, me too. I was surprised to see her filling in for good ol’ Keith Olbermann on Countdown a while ago. She’s not quite as snarky as Keith, but she’s got a little sass to her. Plus… she’s got this awesome blinking pattern. She doesn’t simultaneously blink her eyes. First her right, then her left so she’s almost winking. I don’t know why, but when people do that, I just find it endearing. Plus, she kind of talks out of the left side of her face. Almost a snarl or a smirk…
Anyway, she’s a cutie and I find myself tuning into the show more and more… and not minding as much when Keith, that old muckety muck, isn’t there. But make no mistakes, I love Keith too. He’s just not quite as pleasant to look at… There’s just something about smart, liberal chicks.
Something About Something 
Damn, I am now going to have to watch hours and hours of MSNBC to see if I can catch her alternate-eye winking pattern. I’m glad someone else remembers her from MTV. The Internets can make you feel very old sometimes. Very old indeed. Thanks for dropping by.
Cheers,
Ms. Snarker
In my case, she must have appeared on MTV after I stopped watching so to me, this is a fresh, new and cute liberal female face! Nice! Thanks for your snarky satire!
She’s my favorite, that Alison. She’s cute, smart and funny. I’m watching her right now on countdown, and caught both the wink and side-mouth thing. It’s cute quirk. She glistens from the TV screen, yes, glistens.
