The late night session Friday featured a bunch of gals yackin' it up.

Actually, some really good opinionating came out of this session. Here's how you can tell who is talking: The totally audible talkers are Kate O'Beirne, Kathleen Lopez and Laura Ingraham. Laura sounds like a talk show host, Kate sounds like a professor, and Kathleen is about in between and she's also the one doing the announcing and mediating stuff.

The low talkers are Mona Charen and Michelle Malkin. The difference here is you will literally need to adjust the volume to hear most of what Michelle says, and for Mona you won't. I think Michelle's lavalier mike was too low or something.

(And sorry for not playing with the audio file myself to adjust the volume but that just ain't going to happen this week).

WELL WORTH LISTENING TO THE WHOLE THING!!

If you are anything like me, you will love Laura Ingraham's take on the GOP. She's a little praise-heavy for Jim Webb, but on the Republicans she nails it.

Use the above player to hear the panel discussion. (1 hour, 33 minutes, 49 seconds)
