MSNBCer: 'Authentic' Jim Webb Stark Contrast with 'Packaged' Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/22/2014 8:08:18 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Signing up at for Ready for Hillary today [wanting to receive their emails], I felt a bit guilty, having to pledge my support in order to do so. But on reflection, indeed I might support Hillary . . . should the Republican ticket be Elizabeth Warren/Bernie Sanders.

But not every Dem or MSM member [but I repeat myself] is so eager to jump on the Hillary haywagon. Take Krystal Ball. On today's Up with Steve Kornacki, MSNBC-regular and former Virginia Dem congressional candidate Ball described Jim Webb, who recently formed a presidential exploratory committee, as "authentic" and someone who "cares about issues." Ball said that represents a "stark contrast from the very carefully packaged and branded Clinton image." Ouch.

Ready for Hitlery? Well since the press is talking about Bill Cosbys rapes I hope they are ready to talk about Bill Clintons rape of Juanita Broaderick and his multiple sexual assaults as well, and Hitlerys defense of rapists including one who raped a 12 year old. I’m certainly going to publicize it out of my own pocket. Why? Because without question she is going to run on this “I am for women” agenda when she has done absolutely nothing for women except defend their rapists.

No flames. Could that be an older picture?

Oh good God, just when I think I've heard every pretentious name there is.

Ball also mentioned that in her experience running for Congress in Virginia, she almost never saw Webb at a fund-raising event, and the one time he did attend, he stood in the corner and never reached out to anyone.

So whether or not a psychopath, he would appear to be a real loner.

Webb probably figures Hillary might want a grizzled combat vet for a VP to pick up a couple of endorsements and Hill is dull enough to fall for it.

Put his gun in his “friend and fellow vet’s” briefcase and let him get caught walking into a senate office building with it.

The guy is a nutcase only marginally more under control than Alan Grayson.

This is a further small sign that the Democrats are starting to realize that 2016 will be tougher for them and it appears they are slowly thinking of dumping Hillary for someone else

Rodham probably has Paladino right now out digging up dirt on all her future dem opponents.

Without thinking that there is enough dirt on her to choke a donkey.

About the Miss Clairol comment... Everything Shrillary is focus-grouped. Her handlers pay people about $35 to spend an hour looking at slides and listening to phrases and recording their reactions to various visuals and audio. However she appears is no accident. I love the big, inane, permanent smile she’s had plastered on her face or past few months. Somewhere along the line they showed her smiling face, and her scowling face, and the smile won. But she looks insane at times.

Webb vs Hillary vs Biden vs Elizabeth Warren. I suggest stocking up on popcorn. It will be entertaining.

Kind of like Joe Biden using the stupid act to disarm opponents. In reality he’s a sly and vindictive creep.

Don’t forget O’Malley from MD, and Bernie Sanders from VT.

Jim Webb? I thought he was a writer of gay, vietnamese porn novels?
