Catherine is a breath of fresh air at the WAPO. I look forward to her column every day, and I find her articulate on economic matters. Glad she has been brought into the Post’s op-ed perspectives.
Extremely professional. As a Canadian, I totally enjoy watching Catherine any time she is on CNN. Keep up the great work.
Caught her on Bill Maher’s show Friday night, his first show of the 2019 season but that’s about the third appearance for her.
She’s a cutie and very smart
Her husband is about 2 years older than her. It’s easy information to find if Marathi would have just looked.
A few corrections:
Her brother’s name is spelled Alastair
Both she and her brother did play sports growing up. Her brother was on the Harvard squash team and she played tennis, although not competitively.
Very beautiful, and definitely speaks clearly, understandably.
Mrs Rampell definitely holds her on and has this intense look when making her points,
She’s a plus on very important news, when she speaks
I listen.
