I'm not usually home but I'm fighting the flu and caught her show this morning. I didn't even know what time it came on and was channel surfing in bed and noticed the (red) t- shirts.
Martha had nothing but nice things to say about Bono and Bobby Shriver. Christy was well spoken and gave Martha a Simme(red) v-neck t-shirt.
Ran across this article also (hope I'm not behind the times. If this is a repeat, sorry I've been sick)
