I would be interested in specifics too. I suspect that her alleged primadonnaness is in large part actually a case of being guilty of having a different perspective than the Washington political staff and being confident and experienced enough to assert those views instead of adapting "proper" D.C. insider behavior. It's easy enough to see how a culture clash would be possible. Sunday political talk shows are a world in which John McCain and Joe Lieberman are the go to guests for discussing foreign policy and national security issues and usually their assertions are not seriously challenged after all so it's obviously a different world for someone with Amanpour's background and knowledge. Another point in favor of the idea that her real sin is thinking differently - can she really be a bigger diva than George Will? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
