It was one of those important-but-dull Senate hearings that don’t get broadcast even on C-SPAN 3.
An obscure subcommittee was taking expert testimony on patient safety Thursday, and only four of its 14 members bothered to show up. Several of the public seats were empty, too.
But Elizabeth Warren was in her element.
The committee’s most junior member was the first senator to arrive, five minutes early, and when it was her turn to question the witnesses she blew past the time limit. It was as though she were back at Harvard Law School, using the Socratic method to lead students to her desired conclusions in favor of stricter standards for hospitals and prescriptions.
“Dr. Jha? . . . Okay, good, and Dr. Gandhi wants to add to that? . . . Dr. Pronovost, you want to get into this? . . . Okay, so we’ve got payment responsibility. Very powerful. Dr. Disch? . . . What would be the next step? . . . Finish your sentence.”

A draft-Warren boomlet is underway, with the purpose of encouraging her to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2016. It is eerily similar to the movement that propelled Barack Obama to challenge Clinton eight years ago even though, like Warren, Obama had then served not quite two years in the Senate. But while Warren is a compelling figure — a feisty populist at a time of inequality and resentment — her actions since arriving in the Senate suggest she has neither interest in nor aptitude for a presidential candidacy.

Well, she does have ‘piece of crap liar’ on her resume’ so I guess the dems will love her.
I haven’t seen my first “I’m Ready for Fauxcahontas” bumper sticker yet.
Yep. All you need is good marketing.
We truly live in an “Idiocracy”.
She has the perfect campaign song ready-made:
I’M AN INDIAN, TOO
from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN
I know some leftist Texans. The babble from the rabble is Elizabeth Warren in 2016.
...her paleface liar...smoke'm too much POS pipe.
all hat, no cowboy. empty suit. warm body. call it what you will. seems to be the liberal paradigm.
just a shell for special interest groups to fill.
Warren for president.....Obama for president.....Clinton for president......what’s the difference? All are totally incompetant
How about Patty Murray for her veep? Combined IQ of 80.
LOL
Have you heard this LIGHTWEIGHT give a speech?
Stupid assholes from Massachusetts aspiring to the Executive are hardly in short supply.
A. “hammered”
B. “middle class”
C. “corporations”
lather, rinse, repeat.
I think there’s a lot of frustration between the Hillary camp and the Obama camp. Obama is pressing for Warren to get a fair chunk of national party campaign money, and dominates the leadership of the National Democratic Party. Both Bill and Hillary are against the Warren idea....but there’s no way that Hillary will be running in 2016. So, somewhere out there....there’s the Democrat that Hillary is going to saddle up with, and hope to take Obama’s “pal” down a couple of notches.
these leftists pimp out their hardest of hardcore leftists for political office then try to tell us on the Right who is an electable Republican and its never a Conservative. How is it these Leftists have any power over the GOP??????????
well said
Warren has a face made specially for radio, worse than hillary. She is not charismatic or affable or has any kind of personality at all. Obama and Hillary at least can fake it with the “it” factor that makes some dummy think they are really swell, Elizabeth Warren hasn’t got it other than she excites the upper crust Harvard lib crowd.
Not in my book!! I think all progressives should be in San Quentin Prison!!
Throwing all people who disagree with you in prison? Sounds like you have a progressive attitude?
Imagine if Sarah had made some ridiculous claim of being an Indian because of high cheekbones and that her aunt supposedly told her so. The MSM would be merciless. Warren walks.
I am not sure Hillary is even going to run
I agree. I think it’s likely she will raise as much money as she can and then announce she isn’t running and then pocket as much of the cash as possible.
Hitlery will remain a crook until she takes her last breath.
So, somewhere out there....there’s the Democrat that Hillary is going to saddle up with, and hope to take Obama’s “pal” down a couple of notches.
That would be Andrew Cuomo, IMO.
