  • In 1996, she married Marc Kalech, who was Managing Editor of the New York Post. During the 1992 New York presidential primary, she asked then-candidate Bill Clinton the question about his past marijuana use, which prompted his response that he had smoked the drug while in college "but did not inhale."In October 2000, during a New York State Senate debate, Kramer asked candidates Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio what they thought of "Federal Bill 602-P." Kramer described the bill as a proposal to implement a tax on internet email messages.
  • As part of a promotion by the station, the question had been sent in by a listener but the screeners reviewing the questions, Kramer and the candidates were all unaware that the "tax" was actually an internet hoax.
  • The station quickly issued a statement correcting the error.
