She was excellent. :-)

[Springman]

Saw the tail end, she did a good job.

Stupid question time, is she local? Her accent sounds southern, not local SW Penn?

[jazusamo]

Hemmer said Murtha was invited on show and their calls were not returned from him.

[txrangerette]

Hemmer asked rapid fire questions, she gave short rapid fire answers.

Short segment, gist of which is that Murtha went too far, thank him for his original service but now how dare he say our Marines in Iraq can't win, they will win and we must win the war on terror, Murtha's been there way way too long and needs to be removed by his district.

Encouraged by contributions from 47 states and from many troops stationed in Iraq, encouraged by going door to door recently and appearing in a parade, both of which had constituents agreeing with her that Murtha has crossed the line.

"Her responses to Hemmer's questions seemed too canned.
I wish her luck in her race.
I think she would do better trying to speak from the heart, rather than trying to speak from memorized talking points."

Compared to cut and run murtha, who speaks from the Hate Bush heart, I thought she sounded sincere.

[Glenmerle]

Does anyone know if there have been any polls taken about this race?

Anyone know about this? Any Freepers from Pennsylvania who can tell us what Irey's chances are? This race is just one of many reasons why Republicans can NOT sit out this November, no matter how disappointed we are. I want to wake up the day after the election and find out that this scum Murtha has been defeated. What joy!

That says a lot about Murtha! He never really had to campaign before. All this attention has to be ticking off the old gasgag!

[4yearlurker]

gasgag=gasbag.

Great Tom. Which election are you in? Sheesh. There was not a thing wrong with her words. "Memorized talking points?"

Yah. That's how it works.

[Coop]

Anyone know about this?

Nope. Nobody's asked it before.

[SE Mom]

I don't agree- actually considering the compressed nature of this interview- she had to get a LOT of info into a very brief time frame and she did just that- while being composed and forthright.

[4yearlurker]

See my post #19

[Glenmerle]

gasgag=gasbag.

Oh, I don't know. I think "gasgag" works just as well.

[don-o]

Uh yer cap got mashed - not pretty. Though, I can see she is a good looking woman!

[Glenmerle]

See my post #19

Got it. Thanks.

[JoeSixPack1]

LOL! I haven't bothered to capture anything until this pic. I'll fix the settings for next time. :-)

[jazusamo]

You're right and I'll bet Murtha will not debate her or appear on a show with her because he knows she'll make him look the fool that he is.

[Blackirish]

It's her 1st national interview.

She looked a little nervous but who wouldn't.

As she gets more practice she will be fine.
