Contessa Brewer Spars With John Ziegler About Palin, Shuts Off His Mike
Newsbusters.org ^ | 6-10-09 | Noel Sheppard

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer invited documentarian John Ziegler on her program Wednesday, and got into quite a battle with him over why Sarah Palin should have been at all insulted by David Letterman saying she dresses like a "slutty flight attendant" and her daughter was recently "knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez" during a Yankee game.

Brewer actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Letterman making such comments.

Even better, as the scrum continued, and Ziegler claimed Palin had more class than most people on MSNBC, Brewer got insulted, and called to her producer, "Cut the mike, please" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t NBers blonde and bigtimer):

She never even addresses Letterman’s remarks about Palin’s 14 year-old daughter, and tries to gloss over the issue by saying that Palin should just deal with it.

Never mind that the crude remarks should never have been made.

A great intellect.

I’m sure Letterman will be censured and suspended for his inappropriate remarks, just like Imus was /s

I'm not going to say anything about Obama's daughters because I think that anything said about kids is completely out of bounds and has no class at all... but...

What if someone said that Michelle dresses like a two dollar hooker? MSNBC to the rescue then right? They would demand that whoever said it would have to pay severely.

She probably has no problem with the Playboy comment about 10 Consrvative women that “should be raped” (hate-****ed).

Ironic. She thinks it is perfectly ok for a TV network to call Palin slutty, but mention that Palin has more class than MSNBC commentators and get your mike cut....too funny.

Contessa is another liberal disgrace to the human race. First she bitches about how Sarah should “Get over it” about what Letterman said, but when Ziegler brought up Contessa being called “Slutty” she got insulted and told them to turn off his mic..that was hysterical..no wonder MSNBC is in the toilet..the only idiots watching that network are die hard libs who would jump off a cliff if their Messiah Obama told them to

I think a lot of two dollar hookers would feel insulted.

You’d think GE would have enough class to rid itself of NBC.

That woman didn’t see a problem with the Willow remarks. She said its comedy. She is sick.

I wouldn’t say she sparred with him so much as she suffered a beat down.

What puts all of this in perspective is to understand how the Nazis hated the Jews. The liberals hate the conservates the same way.

Remember the Nazi’s beloved leader? His promise to make them proud again? His government will provide, it will solve their problems? He had a jazzy logo as well.

What really shows with stark clarity is how consumed with denial Liberals like Contessa are. She is incapable of seeing the irony in that entire conversation and her indignant reaction to Zeigler's comments.

Liberals are so insufferable and unjustifiably arrogant. They are unable to see how they could possibly be wrong or how someone could dare to challenge their opinions.

That interview was one of the (unintentionally) funniest I have ever seen. Zeigler absolutely made her look stupid (or as I like to say, "Like a Liberal").

About midway thru, Brewer tries to change the topic by asking "who speaks for the republican party?"

Zeigler never got a chance to answer, but I will:

Anyone with conservative principles can speak for the republican party, we have no politburo hierarchy to maintain. Unlike the democrats who demand that everyone including the state-run-media follow in lockstep with their esteemed leader obama.
