1. no, what happened? I hope Shuster was tough on her. Nancy is so annoying.

[Chipper Chat]

12. Nancy was wearing the 'Phyllis Schafley pollyanna smile'

while David was reaming her. Thanks David. If only more of the TV News channels' anchors would call out the GOP trolls for their lies it might change votors' minds. Oh, and get rid of Joe Watkins - he is an idiot.

[IdClaire]

21. I detest that smile

its the one she uses as she's sticking a knife in someones back. She should be fired from leadership for her failures.

[Madam Mossfern]

2. I just walked in from work

What happened?

[ChiciB1]

3. No, What Happened? I Tired Of Watching MSM Some Time Ago! n/t

[Window]

4. Loved it!!

Boy, he gave that lying piece of work what-for. LOL!

[lamp_shade]

5. He sort of buckled for a while there because she wouldn't stop spewing

her shit, but in the end, he put her in her place rather nicely, didn't he?

[tallahasseedem]

6. I couldn't believe it!

He completely called her out on the bridge and lipstick stuff!

[Starry Messenger]

7. He shredded her!

Said "you can't really believe that obama said that to mean sarah palin"

She accused Shuster of "drinking the kool-aid"

He hammered her.

[gateley]

8. If you're going to post a thread with an intriguing subject line,

could you PLEASE explain to those of us who aren't there with you, what exactly you're talking about?

[Starry Messenger]

9. Sorry, I can't spell her name: McCain's campaign manager.

Also it goes by fast on the TV, I was trying to get it down before I forgot the gist. And hoped others who saw it would chime it.

14. Nancy Pfotenhauer is a LOBBYIST for the LARGEST privately owned company in the US.

Koch Industries

here you go:

http://thinkprogress.org/wonkroom/2008/06/28/dirty-nancy-pfotenhauer/

On “Fox and Friends” yesterday, Nancy Mitchell Pfotenhauer — a top policy adviser for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — derided those who say that lifting the offshore drilling moratorium won’t affect gas prices, saying it “reveals ignorance on the futures markets.”

That position puts her at odds with the federal Energy Information Administration, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA), McCain economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin, and even McCain himself. Why would Pfotenhauer go so far off message?

Perhaps it’s because the only ones who would benefit from lifting the moratorium are energy companies like Koch Industries (pronounced “coke”), the largest private company in the United States, the secretive backer of the right-wing message machine, and Pfotenhauer’s longtime boss.

Koch Industries Is The Secret Dirty Energy King. With $90 billion in annual sales, Koch Industries is the largest privately owned company in the United States. Begun in 1940 as an oil refining business by Fred Koch, his company — now controlled by sons David and Charles Koch — has diversified into “refining and chemicals; process and pollution control equipment and technologies; minerals and fertilizer; fibers and polymers; commodity and financial trading and services; and forest and consumer products” — a global warming pollution factory.

Koch Industries Is At The Center Of The Right-Wing Message Machine. Koch’s founder, Fred Koch, also helped found the John Birch Society, an ultraconservative organization that believed the U.S. government was controlled by a traitorous cabal of Communist sympathizers. Koch Industries’ charitable arm, the Koch Family Foundations, has provided over $120 million in the past 20 years to the Cato Institute (founded by Charles Koch), Citizens for a Sound Economy (founded by David Koch, now Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks), the Heritage Foundation, George Mason University, the Federalist Society, the Mercatus Center, and dozens more right-wing, anti-regulatory, and global-warming denial organizations.

Nancy Pfotenhauer Is A Pure Right-Wing/Koch Industries Product. Pfotenhauer’s resumé includes George Mason University (funded by Koch), Citizens for a Sound Economy (founded by Koch), Americans for Prosperity (founded by Koch), and the Independent Women’s Forum (funded by Koch). She also worked directly for Koch Industries as their top Washington lobbyist. When not on the Koch payroll, Pfotenhauer worked for the Republican National Committee, Sen. William Armstrong (R-CO), and Dan Quayle’s Council on Competitiveness.


After graduating with a master’s in economics from George Mason University (funded by Koch) in the late 1980s, Pfotenhauer became the “chief economist” at the Republican National Committee before the age of 24. She then worked for George H.W. Bush’s transition team and Sen. William Armstrong (R-CO), and was then appointed to be “chief economist of the President’s Council on Competitiveness,” Dan Quayle’s secretive anti-environmental project.

[JaneQPublic]

19. Oh, her. I thought Nancy "P" was Pelosi.

Now it makes sense.

:dunce:

[Starry Messenger]

23. Thank you.

I hope you're not mad at me about her name! I was surprised by her use of that "kool-aid" phrase used by a presumed professional on mainstream news. That stuck out to me.

MPK

[Bozita]

32. “chief economist” at the Republican National Committee before the age of 24?

Makes sense to me.

[demokatgurrl]

34. Wow, that converts so easily to Fuckinwhore.

But we don't talk like that on DU.

[SuperTrouper]

15. I also want Shuster to hammer that POS Cheryl Jacobus and Joe Watkins too

I just cannot stand those shameless and slimy McCone surrogates.

[nxylas]

20. When you said Nancy P, I thought you meant Pelosi

I was puzzled for a minute there.

[Starry Messenger]

35. Sorry, my threads in here usually die quickly.

I should have edited. I apologize.

13. Schuster was practically laughing in the face of McCain spokeslady...

She was claiming the lipstick-pig thing was sexist, and Schuster literally started laughing... She stuck to her guns though, so Schuster moved on to his next question:
"So, what about this lie that Palin is still repeating, about saying 'Thanks, but no thanks' to the bridge to nowhere?"

He casually called it a lie. It was hysterical.

She of course insisted that it was Palin who killed it after running an audit, to which Schuster replied "No, Congress killed it. She just said ok, after Congress had killed it..."
McCain's spokeslady earned her pay by repeating the talking points, and repeating it again and again.
She showed herself to be a ridiculous shill though.

26. Yes I did, and Joe Watkins

was straight-faced when he said that the sex education ad by McSlime wasn't racist.

He also said the crowd only laughed because they thought the lipstick on a pig remark was meant for Palin.

Obama's surrogate (I wish I could remember his name) went OFF on him.

Oh, did anyone from the McCain camp disavow that congressman's use of "uppity"? I didn't think so.

[LooseWilly]

29. Chris Kofinis... I think.

Used to be part of the Edwards campaign... now he's regularly on as a surrogate for Obama.

[Starry Messenger]

31. They've gotten so blatent this time.

It's totally weird. I listen to them and think: these people might actually have a posting history at Free Republic. It's so unprofessional.

[Heather MC]

30. Yes, he really made her look stupid. She was looking extra Alien today
