Alina Cho just finished subbing for Kiran Chetry on CNN’s American Morning today. The bad news is she had to deal with the piece of moldy cheese that is John Roberts. The good news is that she is the clear choice to replace Kiran when Kiran is off giving birth and attending to her newborn.
OK, Alina was never on my radar. For me she was always one of those reliable standbys. She came on, did her thing and left without making too much of an impression. But the more I see her work, the more I think she’s exactly what American Morning needs. Smart, sophisticated, sexy and clearly tough enough to handle John without throwing him to the ground and sticking her stiletto heal down his mouth, Ms. Cho is the smart alternative to Ms. Chetry.
And speaking of stilettos, Ms. Cho’s got style. Her outfits say stylish and edgy while Kiran’s outfits scream suburban soccer mom playing dress-up with “the girls.” Ms. Cho is clearly the Mary. Kiran is the obvious Rhoda.

Could not agree more about Alina – she is smart & hot as hell. Straightening that hair did wonders. Kiran Chetry is milquetoast – I would make American Morning my first choice if Alina became full time. RE: John Roberts….he is the equivalent of a televised nap.

Do something about that hair. It is so phony looking, noone’s hair grows like that.
And what about John Robert’s hair suddenly becoming brown again. He is not fooling us.

Alina Cho is AWFUL. What is up with the part-time southern accent? The funniest was when she was covering the Pope in NYC. She’s so stupid she didn’t even know Cardinal EDWARD Egan’s first name. Her sound was mistakenly on when she asked the question to her colleague. Sorry, but doesn’t she live in NYC? He has only been the Archbishop of NYC since TWO THOUSAND. He is in the news pretty much all the time. But then again, I think Kiran Chetry is almost as bad. I’m going back to CNBC in the mornings. I don’t need these chirpy bird retards reading me the so-called news. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be not to do your homework about the Archbishop of New York BEFORE you go on air to cover the Pope’s visit to NYC. Alina Cho is an idiot.
