This is gonna be quick and dirty cuz I'm on my way out the door, but you need to know about the interview I just saw on Hardball.
I have been watching Katy Abrams, the woman in the pale green shirt who was as Senator Specter's Town Hall yesterday. She claimed in the town hall that she had never been interested in politics until now. "You have awakened the sleeping giant," yet during the interview she stated that she clearly remembered President Obama stating that he intended to move the country to a single payer system. When Lawence O'Donnell told her that the POTUS never said that, she argues and said that yes, she remembered hearing it several years ago. How could she remember a quote from a minor politician which is what Obama was "several years ago" when she also claimed to not pay any attention to politics until now.
As I was typing this she also mentioned having long political debates with friends of hers over the years; friends who are not conservatives like she is. Gee, how can you debate politics if you don't follow it? Katy dear, your slip is seriously showing.
Totop it off, Lawrence O'Donnell, pressed her on our socialist programs and would she eliminate them? Of course she wouldn't say yes. I couldn't catch everything while I was typing, but he also referenced something, not sure if it was social security or medicare that was based on an idea of Bismarks. It was freaking brilliant.
I don't know if this makes Katy Abrams a terrible liar or someone's plant, but an awakened sleeping giant? No, not even a toothless kitteh.
On a completely unrelated note, Ed Schultz just called Karl Rove "Turdblossom." Hilarious!
Look to see excerpts of this conversation on Rachel and Keith's shows tonight.
