‘Is This A Joke?’

Senator Biden crushes a Wingnut-Bot:

Creepy. She’s like an animatronic drone. Barbara West from WFTV in Orlando.

    You can’t view this in isolation. Compare it to her McCain interview.http://www.wftv.com/video/17712615/index.htmlHer inability to ask questions and listen to the answer at the same time would concern me if I were in charge of that news program.

    “Is this a joke?”I love it. Biden kicked some serious ass on this one.

    I enjoyed Biden’s responses — he was blunt, and that’s just what a v.p. candidate should be. The questions were contemptible drivel. Marxism? They really are playing to the idiot gallery now. Apparently, even supporting the progressive income tax, or mentioning that there are poor people in our midst, makes one a full-bore commie. I’ll venture that not a single one of the Republicans making these charges has ever read a paragraph of Marx. If they did, they might just realize that old Karl was a hell of a lot more intelligent and learned than they are. Whatever one thinks of Marx’s social philosophy or his predictions about capitalism’s demise, he’s one of the best authors to read on how that system, stripped to its essentials, actually works.

    I was nice in a snarky way (or is that snarky in a nice way?). And I CCed it to the General Manager of the station. It’s so great to see Biden treat her like the imbecile she is–calmly laughing at her.

    Surprise, surprise….it turns out that Barbra West’s hubby is a GOP media consultant. Check it out:http://www.bluetidalwave.com/2008/10/conflict-of-interest-orlando-journalist.html

    Good heavens. Thanks, dalti, for the comparison video. I’m stunned at how blatant this is. Not even subtle. Rod – thanks for providing some information that might explain such a blatant, thuggish hit.QT

    I’m writing that woman an email. Anyone here know Machine Code or COBOL?He tore her the fuck up. That was great.

  • Poleezz

    Sorry Bob I can’t write this cunt a letter and be polite so I best leave it to those who can.

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Wow. That is just blatant shilling for McCain. How the fuck can this woman still be on the air? Good on Joe, though, because he took her down.

  • jmrunning3

    WTFtv??Do they somehow equate “socialist” with “communist” or even “fascist”? Frankly, Sweden is a pretty fucking healthy nation. We might at least be able to learn something from them.

    Perhaps I’m oversensitive, but I don’t care who she is, or how corrupt – I don’t particularly like the word “c*nt.” Sorry. :( QT

    (And yes, I know nobody asked me for my 2cts.)QT

  • gyutty

    Holy shit, she’s like a Pod person. Has there been some kind of a alien virus infecting the GOP? They act like they’re insane!

  • cminri

    Done and Done! I was respectfully snarky!

  • dontpanic23

    @QT – I have trouble with that word too, and it’s one of the few and almost only (besides the n-word or other ethnic epithets). I grew up during the women’s rights movement and that one just reeks of (understatement) disrespect. I easily tolerate it from others but raraly can make myself use it (and I cringe when I do and must have a Really Good Reason). So, as we said in the 70s, don’t feel pregnant.

  • dontpanic23

    @Cminri – I don’t know how we could respond to that woman without a bit of snark. Even Biden seemed to be going there. She just invites it. But I was not nasty. Snarky, yes.

    This a beautiful coincidence.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_WestBarbara Joyce Dainton (née West; 24 May 1911 – 16 October 2007) was the second to last remaining survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic on 15 April 1912 after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage.Sinking ship.
