“Former Media Coordinator of CodePink Long Island Was One of the ‘Undecided’ Questioners” [Updated]

Well, in fairness, she hadn’t decided yet whether to vote for Obama on November 6, or maybe dress up like a giant inflamed vulva and camp out on the Capitol lawn that day instead.

So.  Technically, undecided.  Meaning, there’s no there there.

We need to be rigorous and just in our analysis.  Otherwise the terrorists have already won.

(h/t nr)

update:  Case of mistaken identity?

Could be. All those giant inflamed vulva costumes look the same to me.

    Is she the same Catherine Fenton? Presumably we will be able to determine this over the next few days. [UPDATE: Orin points out that the questioner seems too young for the CodePink official. I think he’s probably correct.]

    I’d have been happier if Romney had pointed out that her stats are in the “damned lies” category, given that apples are not compared to apples.

  3. BigBangHunter says:

    – I’m listening to talk radio, and if the Left thinks Obama scored a win last night they will need to totally ignore the response I’m hearing from insependents today. The consensus is that Jug ears looked like an “angry unpresidential aggressor” who simply ectended the impression they had of Biden.

    – Which, on reflection, is probably exactly what you want to see in the star chamber Left.

    – The more they faux inflate Obama’s standing, and minimize his real political problems, the deeper the fall.

  4. geoffb says:

    I’d say definitely not the same person.

  5. leigh says:

    I heard a lot of the same this morning, BBH.

    The callers seemed to be two to one that Obama was a liar liar what lies. The other side being outraged! that Romney stuck to his guns and got in Obama’s grill.

  6. sdferr says:

    Code Pink deserves a place at the table: after all, Obama is known to eat dogs.

  7. BigBangHunter says:

    – In over two hours of calls only one tried a weak defense on Libya, bitching that no one qyestioned Boooooosh about WMD’s.

    – LaDonna absolutely nailed the caller on that one.

  8. geoffb says:

    BTW I would not put it past the left to have someone using that name to purposefully screw with the expected right-wing internet checking.

    Maybe they thought this one would be a useful club to beat us with later too.

    Politically moronic spokes-tool Dana Perino predicted her close acquaintance Martha Raddatz would be a fine moderator, even-handed and professionally upstanding at her job. Admits after the fact she was entirely mistaken.

    Doubling down, incorrigible moron Dana Perino guaranteed her close acquaintance Candy Crowley would be a fine moderator, even-handed and professionally upstanding at her job.

    Admits after the fact that she simply isn’t capable of learning? Resigns her position in disgrace?

    No. That’s not necessary. She’d already proven that across the breadth of the Bush administration and acquire her present position despite the proof.

  15. leigh says:

    Dana will stamp her tiny foot at you, sdferr.

  16. Jeff G. says:

    geoff B — it does look like it might be a case of mistaken identity. Which I was expressed our need for rigor and fairness.

    Situation mitigated.

  17. mojo says:

    “I’m a victim o’ coicumstance!”

  18. BigBangHunter says:

    – Situation still not mitigated:

    “Undecided first questioner gets additional answers from Obama”

    The rationale for the delay, Obama explained to Ladka, was to make sure that the “intelligence he was acting on was real intelligence and not disinformation,” recalls Ladka.

    – Soooooo, there you have it folks. The president was merely being cautious when him and cointless others of his staff repeated known disinformation for 2 weeks, to avoid acting on disinformatopm. Sure glad we cleared THAT up.

    As to Ladka’s question about who turned down the Benghazi security requests and why, Obama reportedly told him that “releasing the individual names of anyone in the State Department would really put them at risk,” Ladka says.

    – And so we move to the Nixen response, ‘national secutrity’.

  19. Silver Whistle says:

    Where do I find me a giant inflamed vulva?

  20. BigBangHunter says:

    – They’re generally on the same aisle as the giant inflatable Obama ego dolls.

  21. Silver Whistle says:

    I prefer vulvas to dicks, BBH.

  22. BigBangHunter says:

    – No problen, the Nixon dolls are on an entirely different aisle.

  23. leigh says:

    This whole debacle is turning into a blessing in disguise. They don’t want to talk about Libya and terrorism and that is all anyone is talking about.

    Monday is when Obama comes unhinged at the FP debate.

  24. BigBangHunter says:

    “LibyaGate…..the gift that keeps on giving”

  25. leigh says:

    Ixnay on ategay, BBH.

    Debacle sounds so much more dramatic.

  26. BigBangHunter says:

    – I really can’t say its clear just what Issa is up too at this point. I know that during the hearings he mentioned
    closed door’ interviews several times and would not let anyone on the panel elaborate about it. Rice was mentioned as one possible witness with several other statements he interupted when he sensed the speaker was getting into touchy area’s.

    – I can’t see him deliberately sitting on it if hes discovered other bonbshells behind the scenes.

    – Maybr he wants to time it til just befre election day. These things have a way of dying out quickly with the low info public.

  27. sdferr says:

    “I really can’t say its clear just what Issa is up too at this point.”

    It seems as though the story is developing along three separate or logically separable lines BBH, or at least so it seems to me. 1) The “consulate” attack and the manifest lack of security there, the deaths there of Stevens and Smith — 2) The CIA station attack, what is or was the CIA up to in Libya, which seems to have necessitated the stupid, short-sighted cover story about “protestors”, the deaths there of Doherty and Woods, and 3) The political cover-up after the fact in Washington, now ongoing for weeks, as opposed to but entailing the “cover story” brought to the table by Petraeus and Co., and the larger failing strategic position Obama and Co. have imposed on the war.

    Issa will have to deal with them all in order to have the full picture, but obviously some parts are properly only fit for discussion behind closed doors.

  28. BigBangHunter says:

    – Well yes to all that, but that brings the question, are they continuing behind closed doors as they intimated in the hearings. There’s been not so much as a peep about a thing sonce the initial hearings concluded.

    – And of course, zero press mention, even from sources you might ecpect something.

  29. sdferr says:

    At a guess? The committee staff(s) are working, maybe with some contact with the principals on the committee, but probably mostly on their own. They’re likely taking interviews, possibly even sworn testimony, privately, preparing for hearings to come in the lame duck after the election season is over (still guessing!), and which may go on for many months into the next year if serious criminal behavior is found. But most of the members have elections to worry about. Those who don’t could be directing the inquiries though.

  30. leigh says:

    Why does Joe want to operate on girls? Isn’t that a little creepy, especially at his age?

  31. palaeomerus says:

    Joe just wants the government to pay for women who happen to want or need exotic stuff like trepanation or penile extension procedures.

    You sure he’s not just going for the trannys?

  38. sdferr says:

    Y’know, rancid shitstain Barack Obama — as he distracts and deflects his way through the national campaign to retain his job — simultaneously cuts Mitt Romney the weirdly unintended slack of not to having to explain and account to the public for his many positions on matters simply never taken up in the “debate” discourse, thus further undermining simple practical American self-government. God, what a bastard this tiny egotist is. He doesn’t give a damn about the nation, all while he pretends to take umbrage at the mere suggestion he uses our national security affairs to his electoral political advantage.

    Never seen such scum rise to such heights in the USA. Fucking country lost its mind.

  43. BigBangHunter says:

    Never seen such scum rise to such heights in the USA. Fucking country lost its mind.

    – I’ll take that as a sign you missed the malaise years of “Mr. Sweater”, who, while he may not have quite reached the penultimate heights of ego-gushing narcissistic self-adoration as the Wonce, he certainly equaled or surpassed him in totally maddening irrelevance and ineptitude he constantly masqueraded as statesmanship and Uber intelligence.

    – He was slower than his beer swilling brother Billy, and dumber than a bag of roofing nails.

  44. sdferr says:

    Jimmy Carter spent his last year in office ineffectually obsessing about captive diplomats. Obama hears his “folks” are getting killed and goes fundraising and golfing. Doesn’t mean either one of them is worth a shit, but there’s a world of difference in attitude.

  45. leigh says:

    Personally, I think this started after the Kennedy assassination and the ensuing hagiography of JFK orchestrated by Jackie Kennedy and Arthur Schlessinger and has escalated throughout the years. I’m talking about the slavish devotion to dems by the press and the demonization of conservatives that was exaserbated by the Watergate mess.

    It seems since then, with the notable exception of Jimmuh whom no one seemed to love, it has been ever thus.

    Reagan = Anti-Christ
    GHWB = Anti-Christ
    Clinton = Saint/Sinner
    GWB = Anti-Christ
    Obama = Saint

    It’s bullshit. It’s transparent. It’s obvious as the nose on one’s face, especially to the media who are stage managing the whole show with an assist from the Angels (money men) who move behind the scenes.

    I don’t expect to perfection out of our politicians but I do expect honesty and integrity. Really, that shouldn’t be too much to ask.

    As our man Romney says, “We shouldn’t have to settle.”

    Having watched a Swedish murder mystery in which said car was involved, I’ve found that the true pronunciation rhymes with “mole hoe.”

    The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of objectionable vices (part of Christian ethics) that have been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct Christians concerning fallen humanity’s tendency to sin. The currently recognized version of the sins are usually given as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

    – When old man Kennedy lost his ambassadorship, directly due to lobbying and international writings and interviews in which he much too obviously supported and defended Hitler, he added that to his bitterness of never being accepted into polite blueblood Boston society in spite of the multi-millions he made in the early decades of his life, rum running off the coast of revere beach.

    – Joe Jr was killed in a WWII accident in Britain while flying with the RAF, so the old man made up his mind he was going to buy respectability and political power for his middle son. He almost lost that opportunity when Jack managed to get his PT boat sunk when he disobeyed orders and got to close to a Jap destroyer. It was a toss up as to whether he’d get court marshaled or a medal for helping to save one of his crew. The old man used his money to make sure it came out his way.

    – Those on the Left never seem to be able to fit into ‘normal’ society, and seem to have to go counter to everything idea of common sense, so much so, as a physicist I sometimes think their electrons all spin in the wrong direction like anti-Quarks, because they fuck up everything they come in contact with.

    My guess is the demonization goes back to the Progressive Era. Take, e.g. Harding from out earlier chit-chat.

    Hey, BBH, here ya go:

    The senator said she would hold a hearing next month after the independent review board charged with investigating whether intelligence and security failures contributed to the deaths in Benghazi issues its report.

    “It’s my intention to have a hearing on that report,” she said. “I talked to [CIA Director] David Petraeus about it, he’s aware that we’ll have that hearing. And I think that we have to take a good look as to whether our intelligence — particularly in these nine Middle Eastern countries, very troubled from within — is what it should be.”

  75. geoffb says:

    So we can now put the name “Clapper” as who wrote up the talking points that Susan Rice relied on?

    “she relied on daily updates from intelligence agencies in the days before her television appearances and on a set of talking points prepared for senior members of the administration by intelligence officials.”

    Clapper would be the “intelligence official” in that statement which taken at face value seemed to be blaming the CIA and which made for this at Ulsterman.

    Rice just told media she was relying on “intelligence agency talking points” before going public with her version of Benghazi.

    We provide intel. We don’t tell an administration how to sell that intel to the public. We don’t do “talking points”. Any talking points received came directly from administration. They packaged it. They delivered their version of it. Rice just admitted to that.
