Who is Ann Curry?
– theirs said back (they don’t watch a lot of television, lucky them). And then, The Dalai Lama came on stage, followed by his assistant, Dave Matthews and, you guessed it, Ann Curry! She was amazingly poised and professional on stage, just as she is every morning on The Today Show. She asked thoughtful questions and responded appropriately, although she did say the word “nipple” out loud and then chuckle that “I didn’t think I’d be saying that word here.” She said it in response to The Dalai Lama trying to explain our biological understanding of compassion in relation to the instant compassion a mother feels for her babies when they are born – how a mother automatically feels something for this being . . . and then he went on to say that if more women were in power, our world would be better off. I couldn’t tell if he was hinting towards a Hillary endorsement, but it sure seemed that way. All the women clapped, even Ann Curry.
