Video: Media’s new favorite Republican breaks her silence
posted at 7:43 pm on November 11, 2009 by Allahpundit
Naturally, not a single question is asked about how she repaid the GOP’s $900,000 investment in her campaign by endorsing a Democrat — not even when she mentions the need for a “unified party.” In fact, she actually has the nerve to say, “We need leadership that’s going to make sure the party is strong going forward.” Leadership … like the party bosses who decided that what a reliably Republican district really needed was a left-of-center moderate?
Note her emphasis on knowledge of local issues trumping party ideology, which was her one and only advantage over Hoffman. According to a conservative pollster, his weak handle on district concerns really did end up hurting him. As, of course, did her endorsement.

Wow, for a second I thought it was Kathy Bates.

Loser. Go Away just Go Away. Your no republican.
Brat4life on November 11, 2009 at 7:46 PM
yeah, same number of bags
Amadeus on November 11, 2009 at 7:46 PM
We stopped talking about Meg McCain, fortunately, a bigger blubbier more treacherous whale has beached in the shores of Hot Air.
Apologetic California on November 11, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Not watching.
Enoxo on November 11, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Wow…do y’all think she or her handlers pinched the skin under eyes to make them puff up as though she’s been crying for a week? Yes, I do!
SouthernGent on November 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Do people get paid to go on shows like this? If they do, I imagine she’ll make quite a bit of money bashing the GOP for the next year or two.
BadgerHawk on November 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Dede looks like that there should be a boy tagging along with her. Then we found out that the boy was in the attic all along.
Apologetic California on November 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM
This woman is just stupid, just like the media is. No Republican wanted to vote for this liberal. Go cry about it.
therightwinger on November 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Just think, some poor sap has had sex with THAT -did they procreate? ewwwwwwww
Ris4victory on November 11, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Maybe she’s channeling Bates’ character from Misery.
boomer on November 11, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Yikes, she should have stayed with the background commentary framed by the 10-year-old photo. She looks like a lot of, ummm, liberal women I know. I’m just sayin’…
Rational Thought on November 11, 2009 at 7:49 PM
She’s going to end up being “the voice from the right” on one of these networks. Even money on NBC, 4-1 on CNN, 10-1 on CBS, 25-1 on ABC, and 2,500-1 on FOX. Place your bets!
stldave on November 11, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Switch parties already you moron. I would rather have Hoffman lose than have her win.
WisCon on November 11, 2009 at 7:50 PM
You referring to her Eye Chins?
Amadeus on November 11, 2009 at 7:51 PM
This week’s Levi Johnston.
JammieWearingFool on November 11, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Is this the movie where she breaks out the wooden stump and the sledgehammer on James Caan?
Put her out of her misery.
dthorny on November 11, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Yes
SouthernGent on November 11, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Just wait until the media digs out the sex tape of her.
dthorny on November 11, 2009 at 7:54 PM
+1
I have had my fill of this bloated whining traitor.
She ran a lousy campaign and is ill qualified to hold any position of responsibility:
1. Her skin is the wrong species, 100% Donk.
2. and it is way too thin, hence all the whining about losing.
We can do better.
Newt you should have known. Idiot.
Geochelone on November 11, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I think we have found simply-semen’s mama; the “crybaby” look must be genetic
Ris4victory on November 11, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Why doesn’t it surprise me that this dolt is vomiting on CNN?
rplat on November 11, 2009 at 7:55 PM
I’m sick of hearing about the NY-23 electorate barking about local issues. Hey NY-23, here’s a hint – you’re voting for somebody to represent you on NATIONAL issues. Worry about the local crap when you’re electing a county commissioner.
innominatus on November 11, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Yup…that’s why there’s a COUNTY COUNCIL and a CITY COUNCIL!!!!
SouthernGent on November 11, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Kathy plays Dede in the upcoming made-for-television movie, The Ballad of Dede. John Travolta plays her talking dog “Mr. Jeffords”, and I believe they are trying to cast Sean Penn as “Old Scratch” and Keanu Reeves as “Rachel Maddow”.
But it’s still in pre-production.
rihar on November 11, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Well i guess the whole world knows how she feels now.Wait this is CNN the place you go if you don,t want people to know.
thmcbb on November 11, 2009 at 7:59 PM
The only redeeming quality she has is that she makes RINOS look bad. They should be clamoring to shut her up. Go Figure.
Geochelone on November 11, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Useful idiot, who really isn’t all that useful anymore, gets her 15 minutes of Strange New Respect.
Let me know if Bates had an opinion on her pal Mr. Owens, breaking a world record for lying to his voters after winning.

Does give an indication of how far gone we are in terms of federal overreach.
stldave on November 11, 2009 at 8:00 PM
You can always spot a lib chick from a mile away. Ugly to the core. She fits right in with Napoletano, Clinton, Sebelius, Boxer, Garofalo, Steinem and Pelosi. And really, who cares what she has to say now?
ErinF on November 11, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Thanks, Newt.
GrannyDee on November 11, 2009 at 8:01 PM
AAAoooooooooooooo warebeasts of New York. They pretend to be Republicans, then convert into Democrats when the time requires.
But they stay fat and ugly all the time.
Mr. Joe on November 11, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Yeah, Newt’s definitely done.
ErinF on November 11, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Interesting how she claimed she was so touched by how Dems were “nice” to her. You’d think she’d be sort of sensitive that she not only tanked in the polls locally but also angered state GOP to the point of losing her positions.
That would quiet most normal people.
What a piece of work.
AnninCA on November 11, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Newt. Where are you Newt?
Mr. Joe on November 11, 2009 at 8:03 PM
She looks like a liberal: fat & ugly. Looks like a lib, talks like a lib, and waddles like a lib.
Well, one more pic for the liberal women vs. conservative women comparison chart, eh? Put her next to Helen Thomas.
Splashman on November 11, 2009 at 8:03 PM

The media loves to throw around this whole ‘moderate’ thing. I’d love to know what it takes for the MSM to call you left wing.
Dark Eden on November 11, 2009 at 8:05 PM
Just like Jimmuh Cotta, Newt was done a long time ago but doesn’t realize it. He’s not nearly as pathetic as Jimmuh (yet), but he’d better step out of the limelight before he becomes a contender.
Splashman on November 11, 2009 at 8:05 PM

Where do you think people like BleedsBlue, GrowFins and that Norman Blitzer tool come from???

MeggyMac dressed in black is no where near the nuisance this cetacean is. Dede has taken clueless to whole nother level.
Geochelone on November 11, 2009 at 8:10 PM
The GOP’s investment in her was probably safe until Thompson, Palin et al, kicked her to the curb.
chumpThreads on November 11, 2009 at 8:11 PM
I don’t like fat jokes or comments about women, generally. But I must admit, I cracked up at her first interview.
What really impressed her about the local Dems?
They left her chocolate. LOL*
(Obviously, neither Dede OR Hoffman was exactly the next Newt Gingriches of the GOP! *evil grin*
AnninCA on November 11, 2009 at 8:11 PM

Cody1991 on November 11, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Yeah, that’s the way to make the party strong: endorse the Democrat.
John the Libertarian on November 11, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Get lost.
Hening on November 11, 2009 at 8:12 PM
That’s a delicate way of phrasing it. Being not so delicate, I’ll say that every pic of that bovine b*tch causes my winky to spontaneously dissolve. Not as bad as Helen Thomas, to be sure, but give her a few years and she’ll be a contender.

This will drive you insane. Careers should end badly if true. Sorry, more important that Scuzzy-Wuzz-She and Newt-The-Wonder-Conservative.
Mr. Joe on November 11, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Scuzzo, go FU. Liberals by definition cannot be Republicans. Now, what did you do with all the money that the Republican National Congressional Committee stupidly gave to you. We want our money back, creep.

Branch Rickey on November 11, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Scozzafava was an unsuccessful ‘Double Agent’,that would have voted Democrat,Dee Dee would of been,just like the
movie,Misery,
and every time a vote would come up,she would break the
legs of the Republican Party!!
Misery averted!!
canopfor on November 11, 2009 at 8:15 PM
What’s the problem? She’s just following the same country club party template McCain did when he ran for congress in ’82.
Fletch54 on November 11, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Isn’t it priceless how this whiner is complaining about being unfairly attacked — her poll numbers were in the toilet.
Voters rejected you, Scozzafava, get over it.
Richard Romano on November 11, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Fat fool.

liquidflorian on November 11, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Exit question: If Hoffman really were that weak on in-district issues, how come he beat Scozzafava by forty points and not the other way around?
Rich Fader on November 11, 2009 at 8:19 PM
“former Republican” is right where they should have stopped!!
Her chances of ever receiving another dime’s worth of support from the RNC or anyone who considers themselves a Republican is terribly thin.
Steele will never get a dime, but he should ask for every penny back!

Hard to take this “far right extremists trying to drive moderates out of the party” meme seriously when it comes from the same people who are threatening to punish Blue Dog or moderate Democrats who don’t vote for Obamacare.

Is she not proud of her positions?
