Kookie ROBERTS -- proof that headstart advantages in life can go BUST!1

[UTUSN]

I was flipping between MTP and This Weak and they were doing their best to pretend not to want to discuss EDWARDS. BROKAW did an interminably terminal interview with Shrub's Treasury dude (yes, he met with OBAMA but, no, doesn't want to continue in an OBAMA administration).

Then Tom skeedaddled out o'there and left the dirty job to GREGORY, who led a panel of the living dead--BRODER ("celebrating" his 400th appearance on MTP), Paul GIGOT, he of the creepy eyes, and E.J.DIONNE. Their whispers from Death's Door were so faint, I can't even remember what they said.


Then there was Kookie. Georgie was off, the TAPPER dude subbing. The Tori Rumsfeld-Pentagon woman was there.

So Kookie starts off saying that OBAMA made a HUGH!1 mistake in taking vacation in HAWAII!1 She claims that she KNOWS it's part of the U.S.A, *and* that his grandmother lives there, BUT that it is too EXOTIC for the vast underprivileged unwashed of the U.S.A., that he "should have gone to Myrtle Beach."

This from a person who grew up in the lap of political luxury, power, and prestige. She has since gone on to side with the fattest of the fat cats while grinding her heels on anybody attempting to speak for the downtrodden.

The Tori (SPELLING is smarter) person said that she knows little people who consider extra-marital sex "a deal breaker," such that she cannot understand what the appeal is for the wives of politicians to "stand by their man".


Before anybody says it, I stepped into the muck---what did I expect?!1

[marylanddem]

1. great critique - thanx - I can't watch any of it anymore

[malaise]

2. So according to Kookie

he should not go home and see his grandma?

What an asshole.

[Mudoria]

3. People who look to be offended or outraged usually have little

trouble coming up with a reason to be either. She's paid to provide an opinion so she did, which is her viewpoint. If you watch the news you can't expect every commentator to kiss your ass or share your viewpoint.

[jimshoes]

4. If an extramarital affair happened say

30 years ago, is that OK now? Or only recent dalliances are fodder for the gasbag shows? C'mon you pundits, let's talk about everybody's affairs, not just the "D" affairs.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. Earth to idiot--

Obama was BORN in Hawaii. His family LIVES there.

[DU9598]

6. Still pushing the EXOTIC theme

I was so disgusted that I turned it off ... of course, what did I expect turning it on? I actually was hoping to see if anyone was on the panel who would have the guts to bring up McCain's sexual escapades. Answer, no!

[bluerum]

7. Kookie. Roberts. Carrier of the RW shills water, who in turn carry water for the RW.

8. Cokie is so lazy

She seems to never have any primary source information. She doesn't research. She seems to watch a little TV, read a couple of papers. From these, she selects few factoids and a few cliches to support whatever point George Will told her to make that day. No logical analysis. Her favorite phrases seem to be "it's a he-said/she-said" situation and "it's case of 'a pox on both your houses"' to convolute the statements of a liar and statements of the truth. There is no right or wrong, it's all about the "horse-race."

[Faygo Kid]

9. Cokie is a waste of oxygen. Total Inside-the-Beltway mentality.

She is clueless every Monday on NPR, as well.

[Benhurst]

10. Kookie is such a devious and at the same time surprisingly stupid corporate stooge.

Obama should have gone to Myrtle Beach? That is her concept of how the poor in the United States spend their summer vacations, assuming they are lucky enough to have a vacation at all? And she thinks Obama is out of touch? :rofl:

[marylanddem]

12. She becomes smarmier by the year...

[undeterred]

21. We should pick our vacations according to 'what people think'

and not where relatives live. Good grief.

[undeterred]

11. I know Hawaii is part of the United States.

Yeah, that's why you get paid the big bucks, Cokehead.

[Wetzelbill]

13. I'm watching that now

"He should be in Myrtle Beach" ..... "The race is tied."

She's one of the most out-of-touch, intellectually lazy, and flat goofy pundits out there. She rarely says anything that makes much sense. She should have retired long ago. Honestly, sometimes I feel dumber just for listening to her.

[Neshanic]

14. Kookie, she's a piece of work that one. She even has the droll delivery down.

[Jakes Progress]

15. Most of us real people

would be too embarrassed to be so blatantly hypocritical. But those in the Washington bubble have no qualms about saying anything regardless of whether it is true or whether it jibes with their own lives. I've had some truck with Texas politics, but Washington has to have the nastiest sleaze masters in the world.

[CTyankee]

16. Cokie outdid herself with THAT one!

"I know it's a state." Now that's deep, Cokie. Any other pearls of wisdom today? How does she get paid for saying crap like this?

[Merlot]

17. speaking of politicians wives that "stand by their man"

Last night was a repeat of MadTV. Starts with an Obama/Oprah duet. Kinda funny. But theres a wonderfully sad skit of a politician standing at the podium confessing, and the wife next to him. We've seen it play out to many times, this skit nails it!

[underpants]

18. Yeah Myrtle Beach-would he have to stay where the black people are restricted too?

Having been to Myrtle a few times and knowing "how it works" from family members Cokie doesn't know what the hell she is talking about--boy THERE'S a surprise

[Cheap_Trick]

19. May Coke-head drown in the water

she carries for the right.

[TexasObserver]

20. She's as nutty as a fruitcake.

Always has been. Dad was a politician of some measure.

[kskiska]

22. And if he HADN'T gone home to Hawaii on his vacation

we'd be hearing, "How come he never even visits his granny? He was on vacation for a week."
