CNN Anchor Lauds Liberal Senator’s Attack on GOP Member: ‘Good For Her’

CNN anchor Don Lemon just couldn’t resist editorializing over liberal Senator Barbara Boxer’s slam against a conservative Senator, James Inhofe. During the cable program "CNN Newsroom," anchors Lemon and Briana Keiler played a contentious exchange between the Democratic Senator and her Republican colleague in which Boxer chastised Inhofe for interrupting former Vice President Al Gore’s global warming testimony. After the clip, this exchange followed: Video clip: Real (1.62 MB) or Windows (1.84 MB) plus MP3 (281 KB)

Brianna Keiler: " Wow. All right. That was quite an exchange. And, you know, we were expecting something from Senator James Inhofe. He is a critic of global warming....We thought maybe it might be with him and former Senator, former Vice President Al Gore, but it ended up between him and Senator Barbara Boxer. She really got a stinger in there, I will say."

Don Lemon: "[Laughs] Good for her."

A complete transcript of the segment, which aired at 3:38pm on March 21, follows: [end excerpt... for more on this and similar stories, click link in title]

Good for Inhofe.

Anyway, are any of us surprised at the Clown News Network acting like organ grinder monkeys for the Democratic fascism machine?

The combined IQ's of Boxer and Gore couldn't warm up a stick of margarine.

The only realistic reaction to this would be: If there ever was any doubt about CNN's liberalism, it's gone now.

The snot Inhofe produces by blowing his nose is bigger than the functional part of Boxer's brain.

Isn't a Senator allowed to ask for a response in writing instead of taking up his time during the oral q&a?

"Extremely unprofessional."

Excuse me, but we're referring to CNN here. What do you expect?

At CNN, "professionalism" means to do whatever you can to forward the liberal cause.

LOL!
Don Lemon is just another one of many of "todays"
Mainstream "Miller Renfield" clones.

Well said. Boxer is an abomination. Inhofe craps things smarter than Boxer.

I will say that Shepherd Smith has taken to the same snotty comments lately.

He's always been sarcastic, but it's worse lately. And his comments are tilting more and more to the lib side.

I've started to turn him off.

"I will say that Shepherd Smith has taken to the same snotty comments lately. "

I lost all respect for him during post-Katrina reporting

I was forced to watch CNN as I was working out, and I saw this very thing (words are in CC at the gym). I gagged out loud immediately. People around me probably thought I was having an attack.

TEST - would they have said the same type of thing if Sen Inhofe had gotten the same zinger in on Sen Boxer? Of course not - Duh
