I am VP of being first.

Obama won because the country is conservative, and they thought Obama was like Reagan! It all makes sense now! (hits head on desk)

Hagelin has that prep-school lockjaw style of speaking down pat.

OMG,
Swopa we are being attacked by blond automatons from planet Reagan.

Nice control of the time by the moderator. Who needs a Fairness Doctrine after that”fair and balanced ” interview?

It was a pleasant surprise when Jane appeared, I was pissed that Hagelin had the lion’s share of the time, tho!

What a perfect case study in Republican duckspeak. Culture = liberal = stark raving mad, integrity = true to one’s family = Bill Clinton bad.

The correct answer to the original question? No. Democrats in control means the culture can get sane again. When Blago breaks the law, the Pres. Elect smacks him down, he doesn’t offer to protect him with a pardon. The rule of law is back in town, folks.

“Conservatism has Failed.”

Jane! Thank you for saying it! Finally, somebody said it on National Teevee!

The whole, rotten Ideology of Conservatism has Failed Completely.

I’ll bet that she went to the Nancy Potentpoop school of TV ranting and raving

And, responding to that, it looks to me like Rebecca is silently mouthing something like “you bitch” at 5:18 in the clip…

Thanks Swopa.

digg

She’s talkin an awful lot about getting “hit on”.

Jane says she’s a lying facist bitch!

Good one Jane! Where does these Heritage Foundation people get their ideas? Sit around the thin tank until an idea is so inbred it becomes still born? At least now I see where the idea of being ’surprised’ by Obama has come from and I, for one, would welcome the Heritage Foundation receiving a muzzle.

Amazing how all those blonde republi-bots are reappearing on the air now that there’s about to be a Democratic president. Poor Jane could hardly get a word in edgewise, but the ones she did manage were choice.

It was a pleasant surprise when Jane appeared, I was pissed that Hagelin had the lion’s share of the time, tho!

Good thing Jane can pack a punch in fewer words, while the wingnuts blather on about nothing.

In the wingnut’s defense, I think she was appearing as a parent concerned about the effects of our current pop culture more than politics, though it went there. I share that particular concern with all the boinking and cheating and backstabbing on so called “family” shows, esp. ABC.

Back to Jane, she really nailed the Heritage Foundation but good and got in that young conservatives aren’t buying it. The country is moving away from lying greedy murderous bs artists.

murphy brown blew up the palace.

If Conservatism is the balm that heals all social ills (We’re soaking in it) why the hell are children like the Palin kids having sex at age 15?

boinking and cheating ain’t limited to ABC

I kept thinking this right winger was actually Marsha Blackburn speaking, because I was so annoyed by her snobby voice.

I for one am ecstatic that Jane is getting some airtime and using them as wisely as we all knew she would. As an oldtimer as a lurker and occassional commenter, I among others know QUALITY when I see, hear, and read it.

Give em Hell, Jane

ps I seconding radiofreefwill’s comment about the Failure of Conservatism.

You got little airtime but skewered the opposition(such as she is) with consise reasoned commentary. Bravo!

Well, it’s reasonable to believe that ten or twelve million ardent conservatives mistook Obama for Reagan. If only someone had pointed out to them that he was “the most liberal Senator”, born in the Orient, schooled in a madrasah, with caucasion hating and terrorist pastors and buddies, they would have immediately recognized the difference and written in the name of Brownback. How unfortunate for them.

I am starting to feel that if we are keep being accused of reintroducing the fairness doctrine, we ought to just go ahead and do it.

I managed to sit through this only because of Jane – I knew (with my “knower”) that she’d be well worth the wait!..

Hagelin – ugh, blerg. … Jane – you rock!

David

seconding/second. Sorry radiofreewill,. Preview is my friend*g*

Heritage Hagelin was flinging pooh all over the place. Those fake stats sound like the work of Rove or Gingrich. The whole interview had a Fox News look and tone. “Why do liberal children stay out all night and drink coke all day?”

Why did the RNC hire a band called “Hookers and Blow”? Anglers with a horn section?

I love it at the end when Jane basically says, “young republicans basically hate the older republican’s guts at this point”.

Snark alert: I didn’t know that they could use Botox on Ms. Hagelin’s face and her hair too.

Tucker Carlson is a young Republican. He’s 40.

I wonder just how many “vice presidents” the Heritage Foundation has.

Eleven.

“John McCain ran a really honorable campaign”. Michelle (Bill Ayers is scruffy lookin with those earrings and hair) Bernard.

Deep Bench. Lots of VP’s, Directors and other titles.

just a quick one here:
i’m sorry, but that was incredibly difficult to watch without wincing in pain; while ms hamsher acquitted herself with dignity & logic, ultimately it was a fool’s errand to appear on a third rate gabfest paired with a sixth rate blowhard.

LOL

Oops. My #30 was in response to Hackworth’s #26.

Seemed like Joan Walsh was going to jump on board with her about scruffy-looking Ayers, then had second thoughts about it.

C&L has a great post up…

Q: How pathetic is the current Republican Party?

Yes. The most honorable in all of history, especially when you cut out the race-baiting. *rolling eyes*

It’s fun to watch the reich wingers pretending like everything is normal in their party and that no one notices their skirts above their heads. Good times!

I love a self-hating sister with straightened hair diss an old hippie. Fried, dyed and layed to the side!

Her family heritage is Jamaican-American. Speaking of her family upbringing, in an interview with Bill Steigerwald, “My parents are American citizens, but they come from Jamaica. I was raised with very American and Jamaican values. In our culture, we have a very strong sense of pride and of family honor and of self-reliance.”

Uh huh, just like Colin Powell. Aire rastafari

I wonder just how many “vice presidents” the Heritage Foundation has.

10 vice presidents
1 executive vice president
27 directors

everybody wants to be special… :-D

All Plug and Play. Need a right wing propagandist for your “news” show? Nationwide Rightwingers R Us.

(P.S. I wonder just how many “vice presidents” the Heritage Foundation has.)

Oh, probably about as many as your average bank does, which is to say, A LOT. The title “Vice President” is given out like a consolation prize. (”We can’t give you a raise, but we’ll make you a Vice President!”) It’s funny, the VP title is given to just about anyone above a certain level. Some people use it, and some don’t.

Do we really have to sit through almost 4 minutes of a Stepford wife spewing the success of conservative failure just to hear a few seconds of rebuttal to said failure?

Glad you got ina few words edgewise, Jane. Next time just yell “LIAR!!!” real loud every ten seconds.

“you’re losing the young conservatives now, because they’re not buying it.”

ZING!!!

Jane, that was sweeet. You know she knows you got her, but good.

10 vice presidents
1 executive vice president
27 directors

everybody wants to be special… :-D

With that many bosses around you can bet that it sucks to be the one employee that has to shovel their shit there all day…

Just listened to CBS News with Katie Couric and they asked Bob Scheifer what his take was on the failure of providing loans to the U.S. auto industry and the asshole said nothing about breaking the unions just that the cracker Senators were expressing the “will” of their consituents who are opposed to the “bailout.” How long must the nation suffer these rich celebrities that are nothing more than spinmeisters for the status quo? They are merely foot soldier in the service of power and priviledge in the class war that the Republicans have been waging since the last great Depression. Fuck the shills of all right wing “think tanks.”

Jane! Way to go. I’m not sure the GOP even know’s how stupid they sound anymore.

Oh hey, hackworth. Um, my stand is that it comes down to parenting and teaching your own kids values and paying attention. but the stuff their friends bring to the party can be MTV, thongs, etc. I mean, it’s relentless whether you are conservative faux christian or DFH. I won’t grant any political party any authority on how I raise my kids.

But you are right. It’s an issue that conservatives like to feel they own. dirty liberals are corrupting the institution of family with love and tolerance for all human beings. /s

Yeah, they didn’t fling all the poo they had! That’s honorable!!

Cindy McCain lookalike speech = “Delta, Delta, Delta, can I help ya, help ya, help ya…..”

jane wins hands down, and gets more invites to appear, when she uses her intellect and lets it flow. when she lets her brain rule, voicing well-versed facts in an original voice as a response in that momen-not using a pre-agenda tick-off-list that comes across as talking points. when she realizes she is a weapon, already sharpened, that doesn’t need to draw blood but just be unsheathed to get her opponent to drop their gun.

a letter writing tip, number 2,188
umm, a long time ago, i realized the a/effectiveness of sending things through ’spotlight’–go uptop, send to ‘producers’ those are the ones that choose guests. most people get hung up on hosts, and hosts are good to send to, but producers/editors are the ones who decide who goes on the show.

and you can acquire a good relationship with a show/outlet or two by sending them info and no opinion…that works too. then send a name.

Absolutely brilliant finish, Jane.

I watched Ms. Hagelin, but I would would have preferred being ‘waterboarded’. I can’t believe that the Heritage Foundation allows her to go on television or radio!

PLEASE EXCUSE ME WHILE I HURL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuck. This is another one of these creepy Repubpeople. Science has not yet traced their origins to any known genetic line. Like the “Jesus freaks” of the late 1960s, to whom they bear a strong family resemblance, the origins of Repubpeople are shrouded in mystery.

There is still some hope. At this very moment, teams of biologists and mathematicians are working three shifts at the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, trying to decode the meaning of Repubpeople DNA in time to avert the imminent collapse of the reality field in our sector. We can only try to remain optimistic, try to believe that their efforts will somehow succeed before it is too late… too late… too late…
