Wilson Waxes Wexler/Matthews Double-Team [Must See Video]
NewsBusters ^ | July 24, 2008 | Mark Finkelstein

The screencap captures it nicely: Heather Wilson, smiling. Robert Wexler, mouth agape. On this afternoon's Hardball, the feisty, brilliant [bio: high honors Air Force Academy grad, Rhodes Scholar] GOP representative from New Mexico took on the duo of the combative congressman from Florida and host Chris Matthews, and walked away a winner. The subject was Obama's Berlin speech, and by extension his presidential qualifications.

You'll find excerpts below, but they don't do begin to do justice to Wilson's brio and the coolness under verbal fire she displayed. That's why I'd strongly encourage readers to view the video. Wilson kicked off her tour de force in commenting on a clip of Obama in his Berlin speech proclaiming that various walls, including one between American and Europe, "cannot stand" and must be torn down.

That is funny that you think I am rude, because your rude comment about duplicate threads was what made me reply to you. Welcome to FR

Let me recap:

You called another Freeper a numbnuts.

I noted, quite accurately, that you are rude.

I never made a comment about duplicate threads.

I've been here for almost 6 years, so no "welcome" is needed.

I wish she would have brought up the 57 states he visited.

I think it’s really silly when people think their date of joining FR entitles them to belittle those with a newer date. Judge a person by what they post not their date of joining.

I got you beat by almost two years...

"Wow, Matthews will never have her on the program again!"

You got that right! She tore them two doofuses limb from limb and did it with a smile. That was awesome to see.
