MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - April 30, 2009: For The Second Night In A Row: MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in The World" - North Carolina Republican Congresswomen Virginia Foxx And Her Comment "Matthew Shepard's Death Not A Hate Crime"

[pleah]

1. She deserves it.

2. It seems that Rep. Foxx made it to Worst only narrowly

Go to time index 2:12. The text reads, "Breast implants in pageants is not a rarity... It's very common... I don't personally have them but, you know -- they are." The quote is attributed to Shanna Moakler, Co-Executive Director, Miss California Organization, to Access Hollywood, April 29.

Shanna Moakler, better luck next time. :toast:

3. Accountable to not a single American outside her protection zone

Someone provided a link earlier which I made my comments but of course, I'm not a direct constituent so she is emboldened by that. Although she votes on matters which matter to our Union. I'm positive Dems do it too, but shielding yourself from criticism only because I don't reside in "your" America makes it America not!

4. So she thinks the story still stands, just the 'wording' she used was inappropriate?

What a disgusting human being. I use the words "human being" loosely in Foxx's case. Oh and O'reilly's comment; Yeah, he forgot one of the reasons people can't get insurance- because of the laundry list of prerequisites you have to meet before even being considered- and even when you have it, it costs the most and coverage isn't that good, especially when insurance companies use under-handed tactics to weasel out of providing it in many cases after you've been shelling out money to them prior.

5. Don't feel sorry for Rep. Foxx. She can go home to her husband Goober and neighbor Otis the Drunk.

During her statement on the House floor, Foxx couldn't put two words together without stammering and stuttering around.

Real smart and articulate sounding woman there. Do I here the drums beating for a Bachmann/Foxx ticket in 2012?

[Hissyspit]

6. Hee.

She is from Mt. Airy, where the deputies aren't allowed to keep their bullet in their gun.

8. would you believe she has a doctorate from UNC?

she seems incredibly stupid, and she sure looks stupid. and she acts stupid.

I checked the wikipedia article on her (do you ever do any editing there?) and
couldn't believe my eyes.

Unfortunately, I am one of her constituents.

I think our District (5) is highly gerrymandered for GOP victory,
but maybe the GOP is dwindling down.

US Sen Burr is in trouble, so maybe Foxx will be too.

Edited to add: I called her DC office to complain about what she said about Mathew Shepherd.
They've updated her apology to sound more like a real apology, this I think is her second one,
and not many people have heard/seen it.

She should be made to stand on the floor for Cspan to witness and apologize publicly and
emphatically

9. I did the opposite of her. I went to UNCG, then UNC-Chapel Hill.

There are a lot of numnutz college professors in NC and I'm not surprised that she is in administration. I hope her political career is over. Hell, she should retire from everything. Disgusting.

7. Foxx is such an asshat she voted against the Voting Rights Act

she is bush bush bush all the way.

Pro Torture anti health care for all.

I can't believe the woman has advanced degrees.

[mrbarber]

10. And Bush graduated from an Ivory League School.

It's amazing what family connections, money and political "favors" promised can get a person these days.

And the only reason I say this is because you have to a MASSIVE nitwit to think stating that on a senate floor was going to have anything but a negative reaction, especially if you look at how the country is (albeit slowly) starting to shed it's bigoted ways. But than again, if you only surround yourself with people who think like you, I guess you can actually believe that everyone is as close minded and hateful as you are. Well guess what cupcake, there not, and you might have just committed political suicide.
