Nina Totenberg Calls Justice Ginsburg a “Pretty Conservative Liberal” and Alito “Some White Guy”

On NBC’s “Meet The Press” this morning, host Tim Russert stocked his panel with three left-of-center journalists – Nina Totenberg of NPR, Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times, and David Gregory of NBC News – to discuss the events of the week. When they got to the nomination of Samuel Alito to replace retiring justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Russert mentioned that when Bill Clinton was president, both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, despite obvious Liberal leanings, were approved by a strong majority of both Democrats and Republicans. “And they say, ‘Why can't we have the same courtesy to conservative jurists under President Bush?’"

In response, Totenberg said: “If you look at the Ginsburg nomination, for example, she'd been a judge, I think, for 12 years. She'd been, actually, a pretty conservative liberal judge, if you can be such a thing.”

I got home from church to see the last part of Meet The Press. I saw those names and thought oh well 4 liberals chatting. Glad I missed it.

[austinaero]

Sounds like Kerryspeak to me.

Why do I never read or hear the phrase "right of center"? (Rhetorical question - - I know the answer.)

"She'd been, actually, a pretty conservative liberal judge, if you can be such a thing.”

This is an example of just how meaningless "journalists" have become. This sentence says nothing except that Nina's a dummy.

NPR, MoveOn

no difference

“Some White Guy”

Nina Totenburg is a racist.

[hosepipe]

Nina has always been left of pinko..

[saganite]

Ugh. When I read your comment at first I thought you'd written that Nina had taken lap dancing lessons!

[Last Dakotan]

Ahh, my eyes, my eyes!

[Hank Rearden]

Nina Totenberg of NPR. Why is there still an NPR?

Ol' Horseface has been sucking on the taxpayer teat too damn long.

[SauronOfMordor]

Well .. Ginsberg was counsel to the ACLU - and you can't possibly be anything remotely resembling the word "conservative" and work for the ACLU.

If Bush had appointed the General Counsel for the NRA, their heads would have exploded

[Wacka]

Totenberg-"Some old broad".

[HonestConservative]

Notice how David Gregory speaks for republicans.

Russerts show is about as relevant as a room full of chimps with typewritters.

[Clock King]

Orwellian Doublespeak. The language of the Left.

[yarddog]

Another one of those liberals who are as ugly on the inside as the outside. She could give ugly lessons to a wart hog.

[ALWAYSWELDING]

What a bunch of boneheads. These libs are just spinning their wheels.

We've got us a SUUUpreme court justice that IS going to get confirmed and then start reversing the trends that O'puke set.

[No Blue States]

Some white guy forgot about Nina Tokenturd since he stopped listening to National Palestinian Radio.

[tubebender]

Yikes! She looks like Janet Reno's little brother.

Best line of the week!!!

"If Bush had appointed the General Counsel for the NRA, their heads would have exploded."


ROTFLOL!! You got that right!! But .. I would have loved to have seen that!!

[Pharmboy]

Exactly right--who indeed does care what they think? They are so frustrated that another point of view is actually getting out "to the people" that they are besides themselves because they know they become more irrelevant by the day.

HAHAHAHAHA...I love it.
