"I love this woman," Meghan announces to the Real Talk panel. She used to think Michele was "the poor man's Sarah Palin," but now she loves her so much, she can't stop saying it! She just repeats the word "love" again and again, six times over the course of approximately three minutes of speaking time. Our Republican thought leader concludes, "I just think she's more, smarter." [MSNBC]
