2. But shes never thought of going into politics.
I think that, had I not married a journalist, would I have considered going into politics? Absolutely, because I admire and respect it, she said in an interview with Charlie Rose. As is, though, she said shes more than satisfied with her career path.

4. Marriage is important to her.
She and her husband wrote a book about it. By all accounts, her marriage to fellow journalist Steven V. Roberts is a happy one. They met when she was 18 and he, 19. They now have two children and six grandchildren. Whats necessary for a great marriage? Not acting like a two-year-old, Roberts said. The pair seem adept at sharing; they write a syndicated column together.

8. Theres that green screen thing.

9. Shes not afraid to speak her mind.
Though doing so as publicly as she does has gotten her into trouble sometimes. Over the past few years shes offended on both sides of the aisle. In 2008, she implied that Hawaii is in some way not a proper state, calling it a foreign, exotic place, and criticized Obama for visiting his sick grandmother there. More recently, she compared Glenn Beck to a terrorist.
