tina brown, harold evans, ann coulter, julie nixon eisenhower, henry and nancy kissinger. rush limbaugh, peggy noonan. et cetera, et cetera. why were you specific about using the word loyal in the dedication? >> guest: well, in sort of crisis that i went through, the onslaught against me, some people went out of their way to be supportive, and some just went -- and if you really defected, became somewhat antagonistic so i wanted to show some recognition to those who have been supportive. because for the latest system works and this is not confined in the united states, when that degree of official is focus on a person, there is the intent by those targeting him to ostracize and isolate him. so all those, since i was writing about the united states i thought i would focus on americans in that. all those who resisted that, army of the once there tended to visit me when i was a guest of the american people, including henry kissinger. i thought it's the least i could do and i was proud to do it. and i have many american friends, those and others, and i'm grateful to all of the

i agree with tina brown's piece about this anthony weiner, bob filner, whoever the latest guy is. seems like women just don't do these kind of things. hillary clinton is not tweeting pictures from the state department saying who wants to see my foggy bottom? maybe there's a little fatigue with the whole man thing right now. maybe that's part of it. i think they're both equally qualified. a lot of people do not like larry summers and she's equally qualified and i think a better choice. >> you can't disqualify all men because of anthony weiner and everyone else. these are isolated incidents. the fact that all men have to answer for them is ridiculous. >> let me ask you this, a columnist for bloomberg said no one doubts her credentials, but questions have been raised about whether she has the gravitas to manage a financial crisis. then people criticized al hunt by saying he meant manhood when he said gravitas. this is insulting as a woman. why would you think the word gravitas means male. why would anyone? >> and you wouldn't. i think that quite honestly, this is also a political thi

tina brown is on the phone. dianna kicked and shoved and pushed around and despised by so many people in the royal family, but this is her revenge. she has saved the monarchy from the windsors themselves. and now once again, the whole world is watching and waiting for the birth of a royal baby because of the two boys that she helped raise. >> it's true. it's a great sweet revenge for dianna. t the birth of a royal baby is a joyous time. williams was born in patriotic server because britain had just won the falkland islands war. a week before the birth, there was this outroar of excitement when the war was won. then along came william so it was a patriotic moment. now again, we have this amazing summer. there's also been the jubilee, which was a great royalty loving moment. it it does show despite willie geist, immensely lame salutation. >> i did my best. >> it does show the power of the royal brand as such a sustaining thing in the uk. it keeps on supplying national unity. we saw the jooubilee. the olympics was w

brown people are disproportionately stop, but it isn't disproportionate enough. let's go to our esteemed panel dawn porter, director of "gideon's army" premieres at 9:00 eastern tonight on hbo. and tina jeannine brito. i would like to talk with you fine ladies about stop and frisk in new york, i'm white so i don't deal with this. but i've never met a black weed dealer, and never never getting stopped and frisked. what is mayor bloomberg talking about? >> you know, it's hard to understand what he's talking about. this convoluteed defense of policy where we know that nine out of ten people who are stopped are not charged with anything. so how he defends this policy, the last i checked i was a new yorker too, it would be nice to think that i could walk down the street without being frisked. >> cenk: not that he's cynical but he's suggesting that crime is down in some areas and bloomberg thinks he can sell this as working and let's make white people think that the policies work? am i talking rapidly? >> no, you're hitting the nail on the head. they broke down the numbers and found 106 black men were being stop and frisked. more black men are being stopped and frisk good 106% of black men
