Another Elizabeth Warren moment

The race between Massachusetts republican Senator Scott Brown and democrat candidate Elizabeth Warren always seems to provide entertaining moments.  And it did so again on Monday.

Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already allowed reporters to inspect six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to reveal more than four years of her filings.

Oops.

Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren abruptly backed off her demand, sayingTuesday morning that six years of Brown’s filings was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.

So, apparently now six years of tax returns is perfectly acceptable to Ms. Warren, unless, of course, you are Ms. Warren, in which case, you only have to release four years of returns.

Then, there was last week’s entertainment.

 [S]he said that she regretted boasting to a reporter that she meets people employed in Wall Street jobs who tell her they support her candidacy because she ‘will save capitalism.’ In walking back the comments, she told reporters the statement was ‘over the top’ and ‘silly.’

Ms. Warren is exactly who we need in the Senate.  Someone who firmly believes in do as I say, not as I do, and who also believes that it’s just fine to make over the top and silly statements from “people she meets”.

Now that I think about it, if elected, she will fit in just fine with Senator Harry Reid and his imaginary friends who tell him secret things as well.

    It’s amazing that despite her outrageous statements, lies and racial hucksterism, she and Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Seat are still in a virtual dead heat. Except for the Radio Vice listeners and my personal friends, everyone else in Massachusetts is just plain dumb.

    she reminds me of the SNL character portrayed by Gilda Radner “Rosanne rosanadana” when shown the hipocracy of her statements her response was “Never Mind”

    Psst, hey, I guy I know, really well, told me that he knows Lizzie Warren carries axe and that she claimed herself as head of household on her taxes, that she claimed she was blind and qualified for an earned-income tax credit up until four years ago.?
    ?
    Really.
    ?
    O.K., well, he didn’t say anything about her Sky Hook Venture Capital Company or her Cryogenic Steam Partnership DOE loans.
    ?
    Really.

    Are all liberals crazy? Is it being liberal that causes it or is it genetic? I have to wonder what makes them lie and cheat and make up stories about everyone else and still feel good about themselves.



    • JBS on August 8, 2012 at 8:08 pm

      Liberalism, or more accurately, Socialism, is curable. Being a democrat is delusional.
      ?
      However, there has to be a genetic predisposition to be susceptible to Lefty-ism. That’s how we can have centric Conservatives. Or, is it, Moderates? Or, Moderate Conservatives. Or, Conservative Moderates? Oh, my head hurts!
      ?
      Suffice it to say that Liberalism is a disease. Kind of like a social disease. Being a democrat, however, is firmly rooted in the delusional belief that whatever is yours is theirs.

    My, she has such lovely cheek bones.? Could Warren be partially American Native Indian??? Some one should look into that.

    Liawatha makes Martha Coakley look competent.? Sadly, competence is not a requirement for MA politicians.

    Fauxcahontas’ biggest problem is that people are examining her academic record, and there are some really big problems there, not the least of which is how this record was suppressed to get her into Harvard.

    Maybe we can stop using the term “senior moment” and start using “Warren moment”.

    This woman is Mass’ answer to our own Susan Bizzaro-witch.



  9. SeeingRed on August 9, 2012 at 10:54 am

    That’s one squa with a for-ked tongue.? If SHE wins we really are all doomed.



    • Dimsdale on August 9, 2012 at 4:14 pm

      Maybe she needs to be introduced to some fire water….

    It’s the specialness of class. Lizzie Warren is of a special, protected species, the political class. She thinks that she is so above everyone else. In her case, it manifests itself in abject lying, verbalizing her fantasies and indulging in slander and innuendo. Of course, with no thought to consequences.
    ?
    Someone wrapped that tight with so many loose threads dangling is going to trip on one of them. Some firewater would loosen her forked tongue. That would be interesting.

      Protected species belong in cages.
