Where did this SE Cupp woman come from?

[jmowreader]

I have been a member of this august community for a while. Before President Obama was reelected, the right-wing talking heads we all discussed were stalwarts like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity and Coulter.

Since the election, the board has been inundated by posts about S.E. Cupp, who seems about as silly as All Of The Above put together. What happened?

[JesterCS]

1. prob an overabundance of testosterone =p

then again I'm a man, so what do I know lol

[WCGreen]

3. Supposedly she is hot to younger me...

I don't get it, I'm 55 so I guess I'm not suppose to get it.

[seabeyond]

8. nothing to do with testosterone, and all to do with pornifying women for man's play. nt

[emulatorloo]

38. If MSNBC paid to "pornify" her, they should get their money back.

OTOH, they did a good job with Ed and Lawrence.

[Marr]

49. Huh...?

[malaise]

2. She's an idiot host on GEM$NBComcast but no one watches

She was on Morning Joe Scum on Thursday spewing absolute rubbish.

[liberalmike27]

34. More importantly,

How can we get her to go back there?

I tried watching the Cycle, but it gave me vertigo with all the spinning, and spinning, the whirling room. Too old I guess, as I didn't care for it, and wish Dylan Ratigan was back.

Bunch of people who've never really seen both sides, what an old Democrat used to be.

[ailsagirl]

51. Try emailing MSNBC and complaining

I've done so--twice-- citing her sassy, unprofessional demeanor. Not even so much that's she's a repuke-- just her know-it-all, pouty, immature behavior is impossible to watch.

[hrmjustin]

4. I think that because she is on MSNBC many people here are exposed to her so they can comment...

... on her. I am getting sick of SE Cupp worship here.

[JesterCS]

5. personally i didnt even know what she looked like until

the latest couple of threads, even then, I'd never want to meet her. Yes she's attractive on the outside, but that's hardly what matters most.

[treestar]

25. I haven't seen much worship

But rather attacks on her intellect and some have fun calling her Sippy Cupp. I may check her out just for the fun of it.

[hrmjustin]

36. Yesterday a troll came in started some SE Cupp is hot threads and was PPr'd

[treestar]

37. Haha missed that

I've understood that she is attractive but also dumb, from DU generally.

[hrmjustin]

40. That is about right. She is not as nuts as those on fox.

[PoliticAverse]

6. She was being discussed here before the reelection, and started appearing often when MSNBC hired her

as a sort of in-house conservative.

[oldhippydude]

14. thats my take

sort of the Alan Colmbs of NSNBC

[juajen]

18. I am on here every day, and this is the first time I have heard

her mentioned. I think she's trying to get noticed and some people are helping her.

[Trajan]

7. This is the women known euphemistically as ....

Sippy Cupp ?

..... cute name ......

[MADem]

27. Yep--the nickname serves to highlight how sophmoric and childish her reasoning is. nt

[vaberella]

30. Especially when compared to Krystal Ball. n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. Carlsbad, CA n/t

[AlinPA]

10. People on DU sure watch her a lot. Along with Joe Scarboro and Mika somebody.

They all sound like TV right wing assholes.

[CTyankee]

11. Here's her wikipedia page...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._E._Cupp

[Trajan]

12. She is an atheist ....

She will be readily accepted by the extremist, radical, fundamentalist, TeaHadists in her party ....

Yep ...

[CTyankee]

13. Oy, that's what 4 years in Ithaca, New York will do to you...

honestly, I don't know how Cornell students make it for 4 years there...it is in the middle of absolutely nowhere and is horribly cold for a LONG time.....I had a dear family member who lived there and was in such isolation she drank too much and unfortunately died of cirrhosis of the liver a few years ago. I think the cold and isolation was just too much for her.

[mainer]

22. Now, now. Ithaca is a gorgeous little hippie town

Affectionately called "ten square miles surrounded by reality."

[CTyankee]

23. Not to diss the community, it is just isolated and has long winters....

my nieces and nephew grew up there and are wonderful people as was their mother, my very dear sister in law, whom I loved.

[jmowreader]

24. Cornell, back in The Day...

...was probably a prime producer of the "M.R.S. Degree."

For you whippersnappers: Young ladies of breeding and refinement used to attend college primarily to find rich husbands. Think of women like Laura Bush and Ann Romney, who "married well." (In reality Laura and Ann married their men's checkbooks; if Shrub and Mitt weren't old money they couldn't have gotten laid with $100 bills pinned to their field jackets.)

A place with months of cold weather and nothing to do sounds perfect for courting; inventive, hormone-drenched youngsters can always find something to do.

[CTyankee]

54. I never heard that and I find it a bit upsetting to think of this fine school and the excellent

women it has attracted in your characteriization, even if "back in the day."

Women had to fight much harder to get into those schools than men did and against very strong forces of sexism.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. But she aspires to be a person of faith

it says on her Wikipedia page. So some day she will announce her religious conversion, and then she'll be major rightwing celebrity.

Cunning.

[jmowreader]

28. Yeah, right

It is very easy to join a church. They recruit all the time.

When Miss Cupp begins to get those little crinkles around the eyes and the little folds in the forehead that come with age, and she's no longer Smoking Hot Right Wing Babe, a chemical facelift and a Bible will solve all her problem$.

[DavidDvorkin]

41. Ha!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

52. No,

she's a right winger, but she is not stupid...regardless of how much you may not agree with her opinions....She has said she wished she had "faith" Joining a church has absolutely nothing to do with having a true belief in a god who listens and cares. That's what she envies....

[2naSalit]

50. I wonder who put that atheist part in there.

She seems to be a proponent of the proverbial war on christmas, having penned a book about it... I think she entered "none" and some outside editing individual added that, perhaps. From her associations, it would be hard to imagine how she could be so popular with RW if she's not a believer. Remember, wiki is open to editing by outsiders. Just sayin'.

[vaberella]

31. Interesting...she co-authored a book called Losing Our Religion:

Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity.

However, she's a self-proclaimed Atheist. Ugh.

[11 Bravo]

16. I'm guessing that at some point, two near-sighted and not particularly bright people had sex.

[Tom Ripley]

48. I really did laugh out loud

nicely done

[mythology]

17. No doubt the interbreeding

of a rock and a burned out light bulb, because she's dumb as a rock and not very bright.

Personally I've only seen one picture of her and yes she's rather physically attractive which probably explains some of her sudden popularity. But I don't have enough time to get done all the things I want to, so I try not to spend too much time on people who hold no appeal for me. (Yes I note the irony of replying in this post)

[obamanut2012]

19. She is attractive, has an Ivy Leage education, and has sold herself

Into portraying some kind of weird "Fascist Stepford Bimbo" fantasy to Wingnut viewers. She is odious, and is known on twitter for almost instantly. blocking people who disagree with her.

I tend to think she isn't a True Believer, but that makes it worse to me.

[immoderate]

35. Think of an intelligent, incisive right winger...

It's not going to happen. She is there for "balance." She will not shine. Think comic relief.

Michael Steele and Steve Schmidt serve as whipping boys for MSNBC. But they will not be "stars."

--imm

[obamanut2012]

44. She is intelligent

The universities she was graduated from don;t just hand out degrees.

She wants money and a TV and publishing career, and she's got it. Now, she has to live with any and all backlash.

[Tom Ripley]

47. Coulter is also a Cornell graduate

Perhaps in some cases they do just hand out degrees in order to make them just go away

[Ikonoklast]

55. Art History. Religious Studies. Not exactly the stiffest of course requirements.

Not what you might think are paths to high-paying gigs in media.

No Journalism.

No Political...anything.

But, she has nice legs.

[mojitojoe]

20. She as two of the three requirements for a spot on Fox News...

...lacking only the blond hair.

[Z_I_Peevey]

21. I saw her first on Joy Behar's old HLN show

and thought at the time, "Here's one who will distinguish herself by darker hair and FoxBlonde-level makeup."

She was dumb as a stump back then, too. I haven't watched her on MSNBC, but I gather from comments here that her reasoning and communications skills have not improved.

[vaberella]

32. Not by much. She's perfect with Toure actually.

They are quick to turn the serious into mocking session which destroys their credibility as worthwhile cerebral commentators. And when paired with David Kornacki from Salon and Krystal Ball---the stark difference is jarring to say the least.

[MADem]

26. She came from Fox News, where she used to pontificate with her LEGS on the DESK.

That Cycle show is UNWATCHABLE.

Ghastly crap. Plus, the name is just...a mistake.

[vaberella]

33. Agreed...it is the worst show on MSNBC...

It's like news for hipsters.

[Egalitarian Thug]

29. From the infotainment factory that endlessly churns out these substance-free "celebrities".

She is another from a lengthy list of scions of rich fucks who made it on their own with nothing other than gumption, sticktoitiveness, ability, and a multimillion dollar trust fund.

Put another way, she is yet another reason we need an iron-clad, confiscatory inheritance tax.

[arthritisR_US]

39. I heard she was hatched

[Kalidurga]

42. I don't know where Sippy Cupp comes from...

She says she is an atheist. She also claims to be a conservative. But, unless she is on a rant it's kind of hard to tell. She doesn't push her viewpoint all that much. She pouts a lot. She has a habit of conflating issues. She props up a lot of her arguments with straw men. She says she supports Romney, yet never really said anything supportive of him other than she supports him. In fact she seemed to say more negative things about him than supportive. She does a really good impression of a plant.

[Jennicut]

43. Sippy Cupp was dropped off here on Earth by aliens.

They didn't want her either.

She is the token younger conservative on MSNBC. I suppose MSNBC needs someone besides Joe Scar, Steve Schmidt and Michael Steele for liberals to laugh at.

But the fact that this woman is only three years younger then me makes me laugh. She has a head full of air and not much to offer. Pretty immature. I guess she and Meghan McCain can always be buddies.

[Cleita]

45. The Gretchen Carlson Finishing School for

Actress/Journalists.

[toddaa]

46. Amphetamines

She popped up a couple of years ago claiming to be an atheist defending fundamentalist Christianity and supporting a stepford wives version of feminism. She's clearly insane, but it's not a natural insanity like typical rightwingers. It's an insanity that come only come from ingesting enormous amounts of speed. She has all the outward signs of being a speed freak.

[Warpy]

53. She's young and "hawt,"

while all the men you cited are getting old and unfashionable even as men go, and they get to be at the top over the age of 35.

The old guard is getting ready to die off and I suppose she's the first empty head and constantly running mouth they found.

[customerserviceguy]

56. Where did Lada Gaga come from?

And that Korean guy who does the fancy dance routine?

Somewhere, there's a factory that churns out the "Next Great Thing", that more often than not fizzles. I do remember when Bruce Springsteen came out in the mid-70's, he was accused of being created solely by hype, but he's the exception.
