Who Was That Horrible Congresswoman on Hardball Today
She was mean and scary and that voice of hers totally creepy. Over the top Republican hair and demeanor.

1. Heather Wilson, I think.
I changed the channel pretty quickly. What a freakin' whiner!

3. Yep, you got it ... They've been coaching her obviously
Her views were always obnoxious but now her manner matches
up. She didn't ordinarily talk over the other guest but
now that she's being groomed to take over Domenici's Senate
seat, she's picked up the Fixed Noize verbal diarrhea tactic.

4. Yes, Heather Wilson from New Mexico.
Amazing how beastly she is, even for a rethug.

7. If it was her, she's just mad because she's a LOSER. In more ways than one.
She's a truly awful hack who got her butt kicked in the repuke primary for U.S. Senate. Scarily, a repuke who is perhaps even more conservative than she beat her.

But he is facing a big challenge, too, for the Senate seat previously occupied by the addled and corrupt Domenici. Go Udall!

30. OMFG, You know, Heather once was sorta moderate, but then
she pulled a Nixon:

Wilson's competitive 2006 campaign for reelection to the House was allegedly a significant part of the controversial firing of a number of United States Attorneys in that year. New Mexico U.S. attorney David Iglesias was in the midst of investigating two prominent state-level Democrats who were suspected of extortion.<26><27> Republicans in the state hoped a successful prosecution of the Democrats would work to their political advantage.<27> In addition to Iglesias' federal suit, the scandal involved state-level trials; these were being prosecuted by then-Attorney General Patricia Madrid, Wilson's opponent in her reelection campaign.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Wilson

I guess Rove got to her, I dunno, but she's pretty tainted sauce to be speaking in public, let alone for McDementia.

...she must have a cold or something - but it really was creepy.

22. She was AWFUL. A liar who made things up. Geez, I thought Bachmann and Schmidt were the worst.
Now I add a third as the worst female members of Congress. She's disgusting.

I guess she's up to her eyeballs in the U.S. attorneys/Karl Rove controversy: http://www.beyonddelay.org/node/312

23. I can't watch Tweety any more - and CNN is out of the question
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 06:33 PM by Phred42
I happend to surf past it but didn't stay for more that a few seconds. It's the same crap every night - why bother?

She was bad - but Tweety just sets that shout-fest crap up and sits back.

He allowed her to get todays talking points in expecting Wexler to try shouting over the top of her.

Sick bullshit

24. The Woman Who Used Her Influence
to get David Iglesias fired. Called him up wanting to know the status of cases against the dems and then teamed up with Domenici to get him booted.

27. She Did A Snarky Laugh When Wexler Said German's Were Cheering
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 07:01 PM by otohara
and carrying American flags for the first time in 7 years - and yet she yammered on like Bush had respect and support of world, but could only come back to "The Brits".
Wexler looked perplexed that someone could say that with a straight face.
