Do you think the producer has to yell at her all the time?

John Ziegler vs Contessa Brewer

June 10, 2009

This interview shows a lot of things. While you’re watching try to determine where it is that Contessa Brewer is personally insulted and why she herself wasn’t insulted as a woman by the comments. She had John Ziegler on to discuss Gov Palin’s response to David Letterman’s “jokes” about Palin and her “slutty flight attendant’s look” and her 14 y/o daughter being “knocked up by Alex Rodriguez” during the seventh inning of a Yankees’ game. Ziegler is the guy who made the documentary about the media’s lovefest with barry and their trashing of Gov Palin. I wonder what he himself has said about Secretary Hillary Clinton. Palin had been on his new radio show and called Letterman “pathetic” and wondered if he was having a slow news day.

CONTESSA BREWER, MSNBC HOST: And, John Ziegler joins me now. He’s a radio host with KGIL, 1260 AM news radio in Los Angeles, and has previously interviewed Palin and others for his film “Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected.” John, good to see you.

JOHN ZIEGLER: Thanks for having me, always interesting to go out with the people with Barack Obama’s official network.

BREWER: Now, I know, you’re very critical of the way that journalists in general have dealt with Gov. Palin. I want to ask you today about your interview with Sarah Palin…

ZIEGLER: Gee, I wonder why.

BREWER: So let me begin with, do you want to do the interview? Do you want to talk about this?

ZIEGLER: Yeah, I’d be thrilled to.

BREWER: Let me ask you what Sarah Palin’s problem with Letterman was. What was it about the “Top Ten” list that hurt her feelings?

ZIEGLER: Well, I don’t know if her feelings were hurt, you’d have to ask her. She called David Letterman “pathetic” which I think was an understatement because not only did he call her “slutty,” you left out the part where he also joked about her teenaged daughter being knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez in the middle of Yankee Stadium while she was at the game. By the way, I also happened to ask her about Keith Olbermann blatantly lying about her allegedly plagiarizing a speech which she didn’t do. I doubt that that’ll come up on this particular network.

BREWER: It was certainly not going to come up other than your mention in this particular interview because I want to ask you about David Letterman and Sarah Palin. But, again, if you’d like to talk about that I’m willing to go forward with the conversation. Yes?

ZIEGLER: I’ll talk about whatever you want. Hit me with your best shot.

BREWER: Good. In this case, it’s comedy. To talk about her real itinerary in New York, kind of serious. Not really funny. Why did she take such offense? She called him “pathetic,” so she obviously took offense. Why was she so offended by David Letterman?

ZIEGLER: Well, Contessa, since you’re a female, you might be better expert on whether or not it’s appropriate to call a public figure “slutty” with, for no apparent reason, AND joke about her daughter being knocked-up in the middle of Yankee Stadium while she’s at the game…

BREWER: Yeah, you know, it’s actually happened…

ZIEGLER: How would you feel about that, Contessa?

BREWER: John, it’s actually happened to me, and I’m fine, I’m still here, I’m…

Whatever it was that supposedly happened was it done on David Letterman that’s televised across the world? Was her 14 y/o daughter laughed at in a joke about having sex with a man more than twice her age? In New York, a 34 y/o man having sex with a 14 y/o girl is statutory rape punishable by up to 7 years in prison. And Ms Contessa wonders what the mother of the 14 y/o girl is upset about? And the reference to Eliot Spitzer who was thrown out of office because he used prostitutes? How can he even put that man’s name together with a 14 y/o girl’s?

ZIEGLER: Really? David Letterman joked about you being slutty…

BREWER: No, not David Letterman…

ZIEGLER: …and joked about your daughter being knocked-up?

BREWER: …but it’s happened to me publicly.

BREWER: In your interview with Sarah Palin, did you ask her any tough questions, or are you acting now as her spokesman?

Big mistake. Don’t ask a question you don’t know the answer to. She didn’t even listen to the interview.

ZIEGLER: Yes I did…One of the questions I asked her was whether or not she felt dissed by John McCain when he went on Jay Leno, also on NBC back when he was the host of the “Tonight” show, and basically dissed her. And surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, she gave an incredibly classy answer, showing far more class than clearly most people on this network have.

BREWER: I don’t really know what to do with that. You know, I was, honestly, I’m here to give you an opportunity. I consider myself a common-sense thinker, I haven’t attacked you. And for you to come on and use those sort of insults insults me. Thank you so much for your time, I do appreciate that.

ZIEGLER: Okay, well, you folks are certainly deserving of…

BREWER: Much more news ahead, cut the mike, please.

Where was a single insult to her? Why wasn’t she insulted by the slut comment as a woman? She brought her own comment up so it still bothers her. And how could she gloss over the comments made about Gov Palin’s 14 y/o daughter?

June 10, 2009

John Ziegler went on Josh Gibson to discuss his curtailed appearance on Contessa Brewer. Ziegler was standing up for Gov Palin on “Barack Obama’s official network” and got in attacks on Olbermann and Jay Leno before she said to “cut his mic”.

Quote of the day: barry gives “thoughtful, eloquent answers that go to the heart of the matter”

March 24, 2009

They actually have a countdown to barry's press conference on the screen as if he is going to actually say something. Yes, he is taking questions - but have they been preapproved? He certainly will have the reporters picked out ahead of time. It sre would be interesting if someone asked him about his birth certifcate. Can you imagine his face? Even a teleprompter wouldn't save him.

Anyway Contessa Brewer is discussing his press conference with "strategists". Who are these people and what do they actually do for a living besides talk? Some of their advice is plain crazy. They brought up the AIG bonuses and whether barry will get some "tough" questions about it.

David Goodfriend, cohost of "Left Jab" on Sirius XM satellite radio, responds.

Absolutely. This is the second press conference in prime time of this presidency. And of course, President Obama is going to be asked tough questions, and unlike his predecessor, I would argue, he actually answers the questions - thoughtful, eloquent answers that really go to the heart of the matter.

Madness. If that were remotely true Americans would have a clue as to what are barry's plans. And if the reporters had any integrity they would make barry admit that he knew about the bonuses even before he took office.

Mark Murray, who looks like the Cubs' logo teddy bear, says reporters are tough.

BREWER: Is the president going to get grilled in prime time?

MURRAY: I think it will be respect, but I do think that the questions will be tough, and in fact, that's are job. I would be hopeful that reporters from all news organizations ask very tough, but respectful, questions...I do think we'll see a lot of tough questions.

Ten bucks nobody asks him point blank if he knew about those bonuses. And if he goes around it like he did on Leno - they don't press him on it.

One million bucks nobody asks him to apologize for his Special Olympics insult.

A trillion bucks no one asks him about his birth certificate.

"Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool"

Hardball

Rep Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) commenting on whether she was truly considered by Blagojevich. She asked him point blank on November 18th and he said yes. She feels she wasn’t really because:

He never asked me for anything. The conversation didn’t even approach that. Of course, I would never done a quid pro quo [Daley Machine translation = pay to play] of the kind that he was thinking about."

…the kind he was thinking about. Not never - just not his grand delusions. But then again...she was never asked, was she?

Matthews then asked if Blagojevich's wife being in the deal was normal and she said absolutely inappropriate. Then he asked if personal contributions were out of the ordinary? Do you believe this? He thinks some types of pay-to-play are acceptable. Well, they are mandatory to break into Chicago politics. Barry is loyal to Daley. He turns on him and he’s the one going down. Why he's a Soxfan and why he backed the ever-colorful Dorothy Tillman.

Wake up, folks. Do a little research now that the obamerism is wearing off. Look at what barry did to get elected. Why did his opponent, Jack Ryan's divorce records get unsealed just in time for barry to win basically unopposed in his US senate race? The Court ruled they should be unsealed and five days later barry went public and said they shouldn't be used.

Any of this sound familiar? Look what he did in his previous campaigns. The only one he couldn’t finagle was Rep Bobby Rush, former Black Panther member and well-loved Chicagoan. At that point, barry wasn’t considered “black enough” and he "talked too white". Rush 61% barry 30%. Couldn't use the race card either. Explains the spanking. Pres Clinton endorsed Rush, which I'm sure added to barry's lack of character in dealing with him because he was "busy".

Two insightful comments from Rep Rush before it became sacrilegious to tell the truth about barry.

RUSH: Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it.

Love that quote. Truth - a rarity. On barry's failed run. CAPS added.

RUSH: He was blinded by his ambition. Obama has never suffered from a lack of believing that he can accomplish whatever it is he decides to try. OBAMA BELIEVES IN OBAMA. And, frankly, that has its good side but it also has its negative side.

barry's own thoughts on having his "rear end handed to him". The Audacity of Hope:

It was a race in which everything that could go wrong did go wrong, in which my own mistakes were compounded by tragedy and farce.

Less than halfway into the campaign, I knew in my bones that I was going to lose. Each morning from that point forward I awoke with a vague sense of dread, realizing that I would have to spend the day smiling and shaking hands and pretending that everything was going according to plan.

RUSH: I'm a race politician and he's not. I don't compromise. I don't step back. I don't try to deny it. I'm proud to be African American.

And what did barry do? He paid Rush back by running to Hawaii to avoid voting on Rush's gun legislation, which was prompted by the random shooting death of Rush's son. Lost by 5 votes. And then there is his DC Handgun ban flipflop. Watch how he brags on his background in constitutional law.

So why the selective memory as pertains "natural born" citizen? He has known all along he is technically not a "natural born" citizen. He admits on his own website that he is a "native citizen of the United States of America".

How does that make you feel about the self-proclaimed man of judgment, integrity and integrity?

Open your eyes, find a piece of paper, take out pen, pencil or other writing utensil and check off each of barry's missed votes, presents, I pushed the wrong buttons, I didn't know the vote was coming (Iran guard) and massive list flip flops and find one where he actually stood up for something with direct consequences to himself.

I'll save a tree: there aren't any. But you'll have a clear look at barry's REAL political career of political expedient obamanation -- not the proobamedia made-for-TV movie obamessiah version.

It's all there. And the fact that the proobamedia has been shocked by Blagojevich proves (once again) the pro-Obama media bias. They have never once looked at him with a jaundiced eye and some of them are deflecting/directing their anger at barry. It’s their own fault.

Richard Wolffe, Herr Olbermann, Norah O’Donnell and David Gergen are starting to get peeved. Waa-waa-waa instead of O-baaa-ma. Jonjon Alter will never give up the ship. Jake Tapper has been woken up it appears. I haven’t been watching CNN, but I imagine Candy Crowley has dug in like she did with Wright, NAFTA, Rezko and other issues. She's the only the one and only media member on CNN to not be completely corrupted - and how was she rewarded? Convention floor duty, traveling and video feeds from the primary results. Not exactly a great use of her award-winning reporting. I can recall her being on the CNN panel only once - at the end - when there was nowhere else they could rightfully send her.

Now what about Contessa Brewer, Tamron Hall, Norah O’Donnell, Kyra Phillips, Olbermann's fraternal twin, Rachel Maddow and newly self-appointed sexist and misogyny czar, Alma Campbell Brown. No Bias, No Bull? New program after barry won the election and yet the pro-Obama media bias continues. Check out the home page - three big pictures of her. Why not wallpaper it?

Look at Ms Crowley credentials and ask yourself why she doesn't have her own show. And was Andrea Mitchell offered Meet the Press?

Yo, Alma - where are your No Bias, No Bull BS thoughts on that?
