What a brainwashed tool! Every time Thom factually countered her BS she shoveled out more and went into "Gish Gallop" mode, and even repeating falsehoods she already had recognized as countered and contradicting stuff she already said! I thought maybe she was Sarah Palin, or a female version of my right wing father.

(5,364 posts)Even so, she just blew it off. No sense of irony whatever. I'm sure other conservatives listening to the same show then where not face palming themselves, but hooting and giving high fives.

(6,634 posts)She has to filibuster Thom every time she gets on his show. I don't understand why he has her on his show at all.

(5,364 posts)I missed the very beginning of the call where she may be identified, but come to think of it she did say something about whether he read some piece she wrote.
She sure did try to filibuster him though, but Thom mopped the floor with her.

Boy, I swear Thom was turning over rocks to find his callers today. I love the one who called in early on, claiming he was making $80K with only a high school degree, and basically insinuated that anyone who wasn't doing as well as him is just lazy, and not trying hard enough. He wanted to know why he could be doing so well with no education, while others are not. I have a Masters degree. I interviewed for a job last week that pays $32K, and requires more labor, and more knowledge than that ignorant, self-important fuck will ever know. And, that's all that's out there for me right now. I wish Thom had just said, "Well, asshole. You are just plain lucky." Which he is.
