She said that as to her $80 bottle of wine, she talked with her husband about whether it was too extravagent, but he insisted because it was her birthday. “If I’d seen that kind of excessive behavior by someone on the left I probably would have said something.”

“I don’t think that line of questioning is terribly useful” she said when Giordano asked her at what point the wine becomes too expensive.

When a reader called in to wonder why she’s not complaining about Obama family vacations that taxpayers pay for, Feinberg said ”I guess I don’t think the situation is necessarily the same. The key issue with Ryan is that he is the architect [of a plan] gutting Medicare for seniors… and taking health care away from tens of millions of middle class and lower income Americans.”

Giordano questioned whether it would be okay for someone who votes “the right way” to order an expensive bottle of wine. Feinberg claimed she would have confronted Nancy Pelosi in the same situation.
