Nina Totenberg Calls Justice Ginsburg a “Pretty Conservative Liberal” and Alito “Some White Guy”
News Busters ^ | 11/6/05 | Noel Sheppard

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.”

Funny you should mention "chimps with typewriters".

My young daughter has always laughed and said David Gregory LOOKS like a chimp when she sees him on T.V.

When the Republicans control the House and the Senate, I'm sure they'll stop funding the Leftist loudmouths at NPR....yep, that's what we said about ten years ago now and Nina and the rest of the liberal shills are still getting paid with our tax dollars. Can't the Republicans cut ANYTHING out of the budget?

I LOVE IT too!

Even stacking their silly, superfluous shows with nothing but moronic left-wing maggots (with an occasional spineless, traitorous RINO thrown in for good measure), they CANNOT beat the power of the TRUTH coming from conservative TALK RADIO and the INTERNET (and generally, from Fox News).

As was once said on Monty Python's "Holy Grail"...

I FART in their general direction.

In Nina's world there are only moderate liberals, conservative liberals, right wing conservatives, far right wing conservatives and radical extreme far right wing conservatives.

Sandra Froman would have made a good pick.

The word Totenberg means "hill of the dead" in German.

No, I think that was someone else. Nina Totenberg provided kneepad service to X42 gratis.

And she presents herself as the "Legal Analyst" for NPR.

Pretty good for someone who doesn't have a law degree or even an undergraduate degree.

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

Not true. If left long enough, a room full of chimps would eventually type something meaningful.

"My young daughter has always laughed and said David Gregory LOOKS like a chimp when she sees him on T.V."

If it looks like a chimp, sounds like a chimp (speaks french like a cheese eating surrender monkey) acts like a chimp, smells like a chimp......then he must be a chimp.

But Gregory isn't smart enough to be a chimp.



We used to love Mobley on Dennis Miller. It was our favorite part.

Actually, compared to Totenberg, Ginsberg IS conservative.

I'm not saying she said that, only that I thought she was connected to that incident. In any event, all the NPR presstitutes still whored like flaming demons from 1992-2000.
