Greta Van Susteren: Techno-nerd?.
The Hill’s Betsy Rothstein profiles On The Record’s Greta Van Susteren’s penchant for tech gadgets.
Inside the Apple Store, one of the young men in green T-shirts asks, “Can I help you?”
“No, but I can probably help you, though,” Van Susteren replies. She asks about new iPhone products, ear buds, a wireless scanner and the third-party Bluetooth headset.
She knows her gadgets; she has three cell phones, two iPods, six Apple laptops and piles of power cords that she carries with her around the world.
Van Susteren’s quip to the shop assistant comes off more funny than obnoxious. “I’m teasing you!” she says, and the frightened look fades from the young man’s face. The truth is, her offer is dead-on. She knows her Apple products.
That’s quite a switch from a couple years ago. I remember her telling the audience specifically how she was NOT a techie, stating that she just wanted to use applications and needed others to do all the setting up, etc.

“No, but I can probably help you, though,” GVS, now there is a humorless talking head. Can’t tell a satirical comment from a slur…. I’ll get my news elsewhere, thank you.
