Today's Meet the Press

[fadedrose]

I don't know who this charming woman was, but she had a lot of nice things to say about Warren...and a few of them said that with the populist movement - Warren's picture being held by thousands of supporters on a magazine cover - dont know what magazine - this week...was busy..

Anybody know who this pretty blond woman was?

5. Kathleen Parker

Wapo columnist.

A conservative with a brain. Fancy that.

[fadedrose]

6. A conservative?!!

Blow me over. I didn't hear her introduced, but she was so enthusiastic about Warren.

Wapo, izat Washington Post?

[Beacool]

10. She's sooooo enthusiastic because a Hillary/Warren fight would benefit the Republicans.

[PhilosopherKing]

16. Bingo

We have a winner.

[TomClash]

18. Absolutely true nt

[fadedrose]

8. Looked her column over..

And the Dems are lucky she's not a candidate for anything...here's an exerpt from her column today:

It’s too bad “compassionate conservatism” has become tarnished because compassion is what is needed in today’s GOP playbook: compassion for the hungry whose food stamps House Republicans excised from the farm bill; compassion for 11 million immigrants who are prisoners in illegal limbo; compassion for gays, lesbians and others seeking protection against workplace discrimination.

These are not such difficult choices in the scheme of things. How to guarantee that Iran can’t weaponize its nuclear capability? That’s tough. Not so tough: helping the poor feed their families; finding a path for citizenship along with other immigration reforms; extending equal protections to individuals whose sexual orientation should not be a firing offense.

The Senate also has passed a comprehensive immigration bill with the help of 14 Republicans that contains a relatively strenuous path to citizenship that includes paying back taxes and fines,

etc.

12. Hillary's nightmare is a progressive's dream.

I imagine that we who support Warren over Hillary will be called spoilers.

I hope I'm wrong.

[Beacool]

9. That "charming" woman is a Right winger who would love a Hillary/Warren catfight.

Her name is Kathleen Parker.

Beware of Trojan horses..........

[fadedrose]

11. She's not hiding the fact that she's a conservative..

It says so on her column in the Post.

But she said nice things about Warren that just happen to be TRUE, that she's warm, connects with people, etc.

I have never seen Hillary on TV that she makes eye contact with viewers by looking at the camera. Is that just me?

[NYC_SKP]

13. I see you figured it out, I found the clip:

14. I just watched it. Thanks for the link

When I looked at NBC, they didn't have it up yet..

I'd given up on Meet the Press a while back, but this was a worthwhile one to watch.

The inteview with Kelly Aiyotte (sp) was good too. I know she was relieved it was over.

Chris Matthews was the only waste of guest space, if he was the Democratic side of the debate. Parker had less time, but was likable and seemed very honest.

15. Hillary is warm too.

I have been to many of her appearances over the years. It's funny that Parker would say that Warren does what Bill does because Bill's best pupil is Hillary. She talks to people offstage, signs autographs and poses for pics for as many people as want them. She usually only leaves when an aide whispers that it's time to go.

I'm sick and tired of the caricature of both Clintons as described by the media vultures and on this board by too many.

I'll give one little example of what they do on a regular basis. Last year someone I know who lives in their town was helped by both Clintons. These people are Pakistani and had to go to Canada to receive their permanent US legal residency. The oldest son was not allowed back in the US. He had studied at Chappaqua high school and was just a regular "American" kid, but he was now over 18 years old. The parents tried for over 21 months to get his situation resolved. They were desperate enough that they even thought to move to Canada. The mother decided to write a letter to Bill Clinton. Although she had met both Clintons around town several times, she chickened out and didn't mail the letter. One Saturday morning she encounters Bill and his dogs outside a store. He was waiting for Hillary who was inside. She approached Bill and told him about her son's plight and the letter that she never mailed. He asked her where was the letter. She said in her car. He told her to go get it, that he would wait. When she returned with the letter Hillary (who at the time was still SOS) was with him. Bill asked her to retell her story to Hillary. She did and they promised to look into it. Two and a half weeks later I get a text from a friend, the mother had let her know that she was on her way to La Guardia to pick up her son. Thanks to both Clintons.

That's just one of many stories I have heard over the years. That's why I support them both, they are good people.
