meh.....if you are really intersted in getting the news, you shouldn't watch either.
but the intro by Matthews into that segment is cringe-worthy; demonizing the right, misrepresenting the facts, throwing that ad-hominen attack at the guest before the interview even starts and setting a confrontational tone. ughhhh.
unfortunately for the woman, she falls for his rhetoric and pretty much melts down before a discussion of any substance gets started.
something to remember.......MSNBC interviewed this chic because this is the exact response that they wanted from her; frantic, scattered, partisan, irrational.
it's all just a show to keep some of us on the left and some of us on the right. As long as the wealthy and the powerful can keep us divided, they will continue to be wealthy and powerful.

DC is full of these annoying, self-impressed movement conservative women who are neither smart enough or hot enough to justify their opinion of themselves. It doesn't help that movement conservative men are some of the biggest sumps around.

Lobbying government is a stupid, useless job.
You spend most of your time convincing supporters that you're important, have contacts, and can somehow represent them better than themselves. And what you do is wait months to schedule 15 minutes to first go through airport-level strip-down security, then sit in someone's tiny little goverment issued office and then supplicate to them, asking if they'll support or be against some random number string of a bill. Knowing you're just another face in the crowd, forgotten the instant you're replaced by the next person in the stream sitting in the same well worn spot. And often only getting to talk with some staffer under them.
The whole premise that she offers any value at all to our nation is stupid. Her entire job is whining like a needy baby.
She's a professional cry baby. As are all lobbyists.
And the tv host's job is to pretend that an insane, useless process is somehow both meaningful and important.
"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."

So really the problem is that she's not sniffing your boy Obama's ass, right?
