Wankette (Cox) was definitely displaying some weird facial expressions when she appeared on Scarborough’s show last night. She kept closing her eyes for uncomfortably long periods - not blinking. Must have had a few drinkee-poo’s before her appearance on-camera. You know..just to calm her nerves.</p> I agree with BillNearAustin.

she’s a mainstream journalist now and has to play that “I’m objective when I use the Republican talking points so I’ll use them so I won’t be attacked by the republicans who are the only people whose opinion really matters since they have real jobs as pundits.”

I’ve been pissed that Cox represented liberal bloggers for some time now. They pulled her out to represent the left because
1) She was easy on the eyes

2) She was available on some producer’s Rolodex and could get over to the studio for a segment with no hassles

3) They didn’t want someone who would REALLY rock the boat yet would still seem “Controversial”

4) She could act as placeholder for anyone on the left demanding “balance” on a panel even when she wasn’t.

5) She could easily be used to discredit the left “oh that Wonkette. She is sooooo cute talkng about her Ass Fucking. She is just an adorable scamp. We HAVE to have her on to talk about those “angry” liberal bloggers.”

The tv and other MSM outlets used her like they used Janeane Garofalo during the run up to the war only Janeane had their number and didn’t play the stupid actor. They could have had on a real retired general who as against the war, but they

1) Wanted the celebrity for the ratings and the easy dismissal later.

2) They thought that they could clean Janeane’s clock with a few Ph.Ds who were pro-war think tankers — they were wrong and Janeane was absolutely right. But they don’t have Janeane on they still have on Anna Marie.

even wonkette’s gotta laugh at that…if all takedowns were this funny there would probably be a lot less war in the world.

Also I think it’s impossible that any photograph of ms. cox could have approached the level of marketing perfection of the wonkette cartoon. The old posture and image deal… Of course I dont know her or anything.

She demonstrated some of the most bizarre faces and facial tics I’ve ever seen. No vitriol intended, but she looked totally out of it…and I mean in a pharmaceutical way.</p> Did anyone see the Wonkette on Scarborough?
