Tracey was interviewed today by Lorrie Lynch for the USA Weekend Who's
News blog, thereby getting some early promotion for State of the
Union. Readers were asked what questions they wanted to ask, and those
formed the basis of the interview. We learned why SOTU is on Showtime
rather than HBO (executive Bob Greenblatt moved from HBO to Showtime,
and Tracey wanted to continue working with him, so she made the move
too), why there are only five episodes in this first series (that's
all the budget allowed), what it was like to become a US citizen
("mind-blowing", she said) and who her favorite guilty-pleasure cable
news personality is (Rita Cosby of Fox News).

Here's the blog entry:
