Video: Attractive economist dumps on the stimulus
posted at 9:32 pm on February 12, 2009 by Allahpundit
Hey, I wonder if this woman will be showing up on Fox News anytime soon. Want to start a pool? I’m willing to accept guesses as to (a) date of first appearance and (b) which show she’ll debut on. My guess: March 1, Fox & Friends. If that’s already taken, March 15 on Cavuto. Tell me I’m wrong.

Red Eye, leg chair, by the end of the month. I know Andy Levy reads this blog.
jimmy the notable on February 12, 2009 at 9:36 PM
I watched the vid and she was talking about something but I don’t remember what exactly.
She’s very svelte, isn’t she?
Bishop on February 12, 2009 at 9:36 PM
“Red Eye” as fast as they can book her.
Is that a “Whole Lotta Love” karaoke track behind this clip?
laelaps on February 12, 2009 at 9:36 PM
. . . I’m sorry. What did you say?
macummings on February 12, 2009 at 9:38 PM
nice. very nice. And she just blew some Democrat minds-it was obvious they’d never even considered keeping more of their own money!
hippie_chucker on February 12, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Just based on the picture above, she may be a bit too flat chested.
JiangxiDad on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Hi Michelle…. you little Rebel you,
…….. so can I buy you a drink?
(wwwwwwwooooooooowwwwwwwwwwzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaa)
By the way, excelent questions………..
……….. welcome to HotAir!
Seven Percent Solution on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Red Eye, hell yeah. They’ll put her the “Megyn” chair up front, after bribing Gutfeld (he’ll want her to sit next to him).
Jim62sch on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
I watched the vid,

Bishop: But did you have the volume on,hehe!:)
canopfor on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Better looking than anybody in congress and did a better selling job on tax cuts than any Republican.
Plus she clearly showed that Obama supporters are clueless.
Star20 on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
she’s really really cute.
promachus on February 12, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Ahhh…reminds me of what’s her name (she was part of a Christian website, if I remember)…AP used to post a lot of her video blogs here a few years back…she was very easy on the eyes, but never made it on FOX.
AUINSC on February 12, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Just when I think God doesn’t exist.
I see a woman like this.
blatantblue on February 12, 2009 at 9:40 PM
what happened to the student reporters who busted the out of stater voters in OH? Palestra something or other…they seemed fox, ahem, worthy.
hippie_chucker on February 12, 2009 at 9:41 PM
She can whisper about “stimulus” in my ear…any time….
MrScribbler on February 12, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Oh, dates.
Fill in for the Fox Report starting April 15th
(random)
blatantblue on February 12, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Wow, she is really smart.
carbon_footprint on February 12, 2009 at 9:42 PM
So then, why did these people vote for Obama?
modnar on February 12, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Excellent!
The People have spoken, and hopefully will continue speaking. Washington DC is just not all that any more.
PattyJ on February 12, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Others have already said it, but that doesn’t make it any less true: Red Eye.
Weight of Glory on February 12, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Beauty vrs.the Stimulus Beast!

A simple plan is too simple for the simple minds in Washington to pursue.

Palin-Attractive economist 2012
Firebird on February 12, 2009 at 9:45 PM
To be fair, its not like she came up with the plan.
Also, the guy who said “create more jobs” sounded like he said that because that’s what she wanted to hear.
And what’s wrong with using that money to pay down debts? Isn’t debt what got us into trouble in the first place?
jimmy the notable on February 12, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Nice seagull!

Red Eye, leg chair, by the end of the month. I know Andy Levy reads this blog.
jimmy the notable on February 12, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Does he really? I love love love that show!
SoxNation on February 12, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Yeah, but the whole reason for Obama’s stimulus plan is not to help the economy. It is a Trojan Horse for the libs to take other people’s money and give it to the libs’ pet projects.
carbon_footprint on February 12, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Sharp and attractive. She’s Megyn Kelly with brown hair.
V15J on February 12, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Allahp is in love
Finally a woman who makes a beta male blogger post about economics and focuses on the main point of what “Stimulus” really means.
William Amos on February 12, 2009 at 9:47 PM
For the record: Proof that a Red Eye producer knows who Allahpundit is. Make it happen, Michelle.
jimmy the notable on February 12, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Bubba pushing Fairness Doctrine suddenly makes sense.

Christien on February 12, 2009 at 9:47 PM
What a vacuous ditz. She will most certainly break into Fox News at some point.
Dave Rywall on February 12, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Fox News needs to interview her tomorrow morning in front of the White House. The phone lines will be burning all day. Then, she’ll be on the Fox Special Brett Baier is running Saturday night. The phone lines will continue to burn. Things will hit critical mass by Saturday night that either Dave Axelrod will back out of his interview with Wallace on Sunday or Wallace will bump Axelrod in favor of this woman.
In the end, the bill will get torpedoed after a long-weekend worth of criticism. Obama et al. won’t know what hit them.
BuckeyeSam on February 12, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Oh wow

I hope this video goes viral.
And she sees my marriage proposal over at YouTube.
NoamSayin on February 12, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Big word there Drywall.
carbon_footprint on February 12, 2009 at 9:50 PM
She is very beautiful. Her delivery isn’t quite network quality, maybe. Lot’s of potential for sure!
Ordinary1 on February 12, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Unicorn Jones approves of this economist!!haha
canopfor on February 12, 2009 at 9:51 PM
She looks a little like Faith Hill but with dark hair and a brain (that works).
VinnyL on February 12, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Unfair. CBS and NYT gets all the lesbian.
btw, congrats on your boy’s win.
JiangxiDad on February 12, 2009 at 9:51 PM
You know he had to use the thesaurus for that one.
V15J on February 12, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Funny thing is she has been more honest and more accurate than Obama has ever been about this stimulus/
William Amos on February 12, 2009 at 9:52 PM
If you’ve ever watched Fox, you can tell Roger Ailes is obviously a leg man.
TMK on February 12, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Conservationism is not dead.
Needs to be better communicated, however. Hats off to this lady.
Spirit of 1776 on February 12, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Now now, no need to tempt Olbermann with the prospect of better ratings.
jimmy the notable on February 12, 2009 at 9:54 PM
With Joe Biden and Obama its unlikely that the GOP can find bigger boobs than those two.
William Amos on February 12, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Meh.
Where is Bethanny?
reaganaut on February 12, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Funny how the ‘vacuous ditz’ got all the Obama voters to agree that simple across-the-board tax cuts make more sense than the gummint spending.
snickelfritz on February 12, 2009 at 9:54 PM
She had me on “three of me working for you.”
Captain America on February 12, 2009 at 9:55 PM
You beat me to the punch as my PC seized up.
I’ll add only that we have this woman, while Dave has…Rachel Maddow.
As far as this woman’s concerned–(Bob Hope growl).
BuckeyeSam on February 12, 2009 at 9:56 PM
There used to be this saying, “Tell the smart girls they’re pretty, tell the pretty girls they’re smart, tell the homely girls they’re. . .” Arrgh–I’m mangling it, but whatever it is, she would tie it in a pretzel!
smellthecoffee on February 12, 2009 at 9:56 PM
She gets hotter and hotter the more she talks down the stimulus.
Or I get hotter?
I have to go home and see the wife.
Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Well Dave, not everyone can be as smart as your girl.
javamartini on February 12, 2009 at 9:57 PM

William Amos on February 12, 2009 at 9:57 PM
She looks like Sarah Palin. :)
Jed1899 on February 12, 2009 at 9:58 PM
She had me…well she had me on her video still before I clicked on it and the Hot Air headline saying she is against the stimulus.
What’s not to like.
Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 9:59 PM
That’s why Drywall hates her.
Jim Treacher on February 12, 2009 at 10:00 PM
I totally forgot about her!!!
I won’t make the same mistake twice.
blatantblue on February 12, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Does that French newsbabe do economics?
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on February 12, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Smart, articulate, on point….with a bit of humor….ummm
MM you got competition …Keep your game up girl…;)
jerrytbg on February 12, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Ah I got excited and added an ‘n’.
I just remember they auctioned something on eBay and vanished.
No archived footage?
reaganaut on February 12, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I think there needs to be a plan,
stack the entire Republican Party
with gorgeous eye popping females
that have the credentials(schooling)
to match,
that way,they’ll outsmart any liberals,
and start a war within the Liberal Party,
of FemeNazi’s!
That way,the Liberal woman are catfighting,
and the Liberal men,are mezmerized!
And have SarahCuda at the top, of course,
running the operation!Hehe(Snark)Amen!
canopfor on February 12, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Yep, that’s her!
AUINSC on February 12, 2009 at 10:03 PM
All those BO supporters seem to think her plan is just peachy…they don’t get it, do they?
Bob's Kid on February 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM
the real question.
Who is she, and why isn’t she the spokes-person for the Conservative movement?
Think she’d get some notice?
DUH!!!
Markvike on February 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Dude!
Seven Percent Solution on February 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Yep
Who said conservatives dont have brains and beauty !
But last post about bethany dont want to steal the thunder
William Amos on February 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM
oh yeah, red eye — no question. I’ll take “under” too and say the 24th of this month!
:-)
Buckaroo on February 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Michael Steele needs to see this…….
……… you never know how she could help.
Seven Percent Solution on February 12, 2009 at 10:06 PM
You know it was a good day when Andrew Sullivan is saying this:
It gets clearer. When Judd Gregg approached the Obama administration to see if he could be a part of it, he was assuming that his own party wasn’t going to adopt a policy of total warfare against the newly elected president in a time of enormous economic peril. Between that moment and the current all-out ideological assault on Obama, his position became untenable. His recusal on the stimulus package provoked fury at home (check out the comments here) and dyspepsia among the GOP who are intent on responding to an open hand with a clenched fist.
I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored one approach over another, even after the most conciliatory efforts by an incoming president in memory, these people have gone to war against the president. The president should stay cool. The rest of us should realize what motivates the GOP: the opportunism of selective ideology.
Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Ah, put her, Amanda Carpenter, and our Michelle on a panel with Megyn Kelley and every male in America will watch, will maybe not the fudgies but you know what I mean.
goat on February 12, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Bishop: But did you have the volume on,hehe!:)
canopfor on February 12, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Yes, but I don’t remember a word, I was busy gazing.

“Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 10:06 PM”
Dude — you voluntarily read sully on yer own?
[!!]
Buckaroo on February 12, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I will have to agree. She will appear on ‘Red Eye’ and then on to Fox Business Channel.
jencab on February 12, 2009 at 10:10 PM
She’s 27. I have jeans that are 27 and I’m 44.
She’s very stimulating even when she talks down the stimulus, Greg will be drooling. She’ll be able to talk for 15 minutes before he interrupts.
Rocks on February 12, 2009 at 10:11 PM
She’s hot, but needs to work on the communications a bit before she’s ready for Fox… especially given the talent they already have. The only place that has hotties rivaling those on Fox News, is Fox Business Network… Have you seen these chicks, Allah?
http://www.foxbusiness.com/our-team/personalities/index.html
Alexis Glick, Jenna Lee (YOW!), Rebecca Diamond (formerly Gomez), Sandra Smith (OH MY GOSH!!!), Shibani Joshi, and Tracy Byrnes. This chick you just showed us is hot, but Fox has a bevy of beauties balking at the bailout… alliteration aside, is there really room for another?
RightWinged on February 12, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Nice.
Sign her up.
johnnyU on February 12, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Only so you do not have to. The Schadenfreud is think though, Sullivan has five posts or so on how the GOP knee capped Gregg like Tony Soprano going after a potential witness. If the GOP had that kind of mussle they would be going after Specter and the girls. Sullivan misses the more obvious explanation of Gregg actually being a fiscal conservative.
Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 10:15 PM
“She’ll be able to talk for 15 minutes before he interrupts.”
i see bill piping up well before then …
:-)
Buckaroo on February 12, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Her asking men these questions is pointless.
Would you like to keep more of your own money?
Yes, yes I would.
Could I take a bite out of your shoulder?
Yes, please, yes…
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 10:16 PM
“Mr. Joe on February 12, 2009 at 10:15 PM”
well, your choice then, and yes the public service is appreciated …
Buckaroo on February 12, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Now that’s entertainment, and true too.
Speakup on February 12, 2009 at 10:17 PM
PJTV are you listening? Add her in with Michelle and Glenn and you will get some response. I know one thing is for sure the GOP has far better looking women than the Dems do outside of Hollywood.
goat on February 12, 2009 at 10:18 PM
She could be Red Eye’s own stimulus package.
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 10:18 PM
A girl I knew in school does both. She’s gorgeous but not exactly the brightest bulb in the box.
If this girl is articulate and quick upstairs, then fine, but guys, there are lots of beautiful women for you to look at on tv, but they don’t necessarily need to be our spokespeople. Please. Let’s not be like those who ask Obama what it’s like to be so sexy. =/
herrevery on February 12, 2009 at 10:18 PM
AHAHAHA
Wow, and he does this for a living? Where to start?
A forest fire is swift and alarming, but throwing truckloads of pine logs into it’s path won’t stop it.
Clearly favored? 53-46… yep. Or are electoral votes suddenly more important since their guy won?
Most conciliatory – that’s just too outrageous to counter. Maybe he just doesn’t have a very good memory.
Yep they really went to war over by allowing Hillary and Geitner to sail through. I mean, I can’t imagine why Republicans would oppose a bill that contains billions of dollars of payback to Dem organizations and opens the door to millions of more welfare recipients while offering little stimulus to any non-union, non government business.
reaganaut on February 12, 2009 at 10:18 PM
I didn’t even think of that… Red Eye might have her, and in the legs chair of course. How did I not think of that, it’s my favorite show?
And SoxNation, Andy does stop by occasionally, but I’m not sure how often he lurks without commenting. Treacher is here quite a bit though.
RightWinged on February 12, 2009 at 10:19 PM
She had me at, “you”
TheSitRep on February 12, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Cavuto!
Spirit of 1776 on February 12, 2009 at 10:20 PM
First paragraph out the gate, she doesn’t even know what the total cost of the ‘stimulus’ is going to be… she ain’t no ‘part economist’. Or, she’s one helluvan uninformed part-economist. The rest of it is all plagarized old news and ideas. Nothing original at all.
Just some eye candy and not much else going on there it seems. I dooo dig her resemblence to Famke Janssen though.
Listneing to her attempt to be intelligent and relevently informed?
Not so much. We have oodles of that everywhere already.
FlatFoot on February 12, 2009 at 10:21 PM
If I had 3 of her working for me, I’d hire a 4th with my $9000 savings!
MD11Fr8Dog on February 12, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Yum.
getalife on February 12, 2009 at 10:24 PM
We’ve had one economics major as President and his name was Ronald Reagan. Why not two? What’s that gal’s name?
ForNow on February 12, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Not a chance that she keeps until March 1st; far too hot.
I think the Red Eye guess was a good one, but not later than Feb. 25. Don’t let me down, Levy.
