When a person is able to make a complete ass of themselves I can't help but have a little respect.

If you want to skip my commentary, by the way, and just click on the train-wreck of a video below, please do so. A source, very close to AlterNet commented: "If Imelda Marcos had had a daughter, her name would have been Connie Chung."
