Ann Coulter Explodes Over Andrea Saul Gaffe - Updated

anncoulter1


“Her response was not that it was despicable, not that Bain… that Romney had left Bain five years earlier or the woman died five years after the plant closed and didn’t even get her insurance from her husband, her response was, ‘Well, if she had lived in Massachusetts with Mitt Romney’s health care plan, she would have had health insurance.’ Anyone who donates to Mitt Romney, and I mean the big donors, ought to say if Andrea Saul isn’t fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime, because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has…
There’s no point in you doing your show, there’s no point in going to the convention and pushing for this man if he’s employing morons like this. This ad is the turning point and she has nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! She should be off the campaign.”
~ Ann Coulter on Sean Hannity via Daily Kos





UPDATES: This is one of those rare times when I think Ann is right. This is a turning point. But not the way she thinks. This is a real turning point in the existence for FOX on par with the famous "Seinfeld" episode where Jerry and George let everyone in on the joke behind their show. The difference here is that unlike "Seinfeld." which really was about nothing, little miss panicked partisan and block head just told the world what FOX is really about. Like Seinfeld's ratings, I think it is going to be all down hill from here. This is a point well worth highlighting. When people look back, this will be remembered as the moment when The Great Wizard was revealed by the yapping dog to be nothing but a carnival barker. Sure, they will try and distract people, shouting "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" in unison. But it will do no good. Like "The Wizard of Oz" there isn't much more you can do with the plot but send everyone home.

First Saul, now Coulter. Has a truth virus been unleashed in the knitting room? As an aside, the venom dripping from Coulter's fangs when she mentioned that Saul was from the McCain campaign was breathtaking. I cold feel the poison through my monitor.

So, The Hen Has Turned on the Fox. May the feathers and fur continue to fly. ~ comment by limelite on Daily Kos

Fox watchers won't give a damn about this.

Andrea Saul Commits Romneycide ~ with Updates

Photobucket


When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my healthcare, and my family lost their healthcare. And a short time after that my wife became ill . . . and I took her up to the Jackson County Hospital and admitted her for pneumonia and that’s when they found the cancer and by then it was stage four/It was, there was nothing they could do for her. And she passed away in 22 days.
~ Joe Soptic, former employee of GST Steel, in an Obama ad discussing the lack of insurance that led to his wife's death from cancer when Bain Capital closed the mill

“To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care."
Romney Press Secretary Andrea Saul on Fox News




This isn't about health care! They're out there saying that your guy killed this woman! And your answer is 'well, she'd a had healthcare if she lived in Massachusetts'?
. . . Andrea Saul’s appearance on Fox was a potential gold mine for Obama supporters. They can say, ‘Romneycare was the basis for our health care.'
~ Rush Limbaugh quoted by TPM





Spokeswoman Saul said these words that were followed by a thunderclap of hands smacking foreheads around the nation.
. . . Lord, lord, lord! The last thing conservatives want to talk about, even less than Romney's tax returns (because at least there, they have a common enemy in Sen. Harry Reid), is Romneycare's similarity to Obamacare. Saul's comment turns Romney into the conservative's worst nightmare! Their main complaint about Romney all the way back to the primary season was his implementation of Obamacare on a state level would make him an ineffective messenger on repealing the president's legislation.
~ Bill Schmalfeld on Digital.com

Okay, this is the worst day of Mitt's life.
~ eXtina on Daily Kos

Epic Fail; nay, epochal . . . This is the most tone-deaf campaign in history. No one is competent; no one stays on message; and the candidate has all the warmth and charm of a basilisk, minus that whole cool turn-people-to-stone thing.
~ comment by blue aardvark on Daily Kos

Today they endorsed in essence the central idea of the Affordable Care Act. They've done it because they're in a lot of trouble. . . . they've lost the Long Hot Summer, they've ended up in a situation where Romney's upside-down in his favorable/unfavorable. These Bain ads are really hurting him. And they come up with this answer.
It seemed opportunistic, but it was stupid.
. . . When you run as somebody you're not, it's hard to keep straight who you're supposed to be
~ Bob Shrum on Hardball

Romney's) stuck in a position where, because he didn't want to repudiate the plan, he now is in this middle ground where he says this thing that is kind of incoherent. "Well, I think my plan was great - it was great for Massachusetts. It wouldn't be great for the country, though." . . . Now he's in this ridiculous position saying what they actually believe. He's proud of the plan.
This is Andrea Saul committing the classic definition of a gaffe. . . . speaking for her boss perfectly. He believes in Massachusetts, in Romneycare. He thinks it's great. The problem for him is the contortions he's had to go through to get right with the Right, and . . . this thing is going to come back and kill him in the debates!
~ John Heilemann of New York Magazine on Hardball
