She can't operate unless it's on Fox where all they get is soft lobs right across the plate.

Where was this elected right wing representative, when a right wing board member of the NRA which was in Nashville having there little propaganda fest saying, that he "Ted Nugent" would shoot Harry Reid, but this hypocrite (Blackburn) didn't say one word, but then she gives her definition of "force"------go figure, not saying anything about a threat to a sitting U.S senator using deadly force .
And then to top it all off, a request was sent over 6 months ago to authorize the use of force in Congressional vote, by the president in the Middle East and we the public is still waiting-------amazing how they can criticize, but when asked to vote and task there responsibilities-----they punt.
But then again they can take vacation days (35 so far this year at $14,500 a month, making $174,000) doing nothing, nothing for the unemployed, jobs, nothing, but they will fast track the Social Security cuts by two congressmen (Delhaney and Cole) without any public debate---where is she on this threatening "force" against retirees---not saying a word

In this case, she's talking to a puppet. Kinda like Palin when the teleprompter craps out.

Blackburn does not have a "need to know". Someone as stupid as her should never have access to anything approaching classified information, as she leaks without even knowing she is doing it.

cannot hide RePukian ignorance...does she believe the incoherent babble flowing from her mouth? Doesn't really matter if she does or doesn't. She is quite willing to spout any insane points she is told to spout.
Is her IQ higher than that of a Tennessee Walking Horse? I don't know.

When asked what more she would do, she says she would ask the generals.

Question that should have been asked: Do we have ANY reason to believe that Obama has not asked the generals, or that he is not giving them what they ask for?

Then she goes on about all the things "we" don't know... things like which coalition members are doing what, which batallions will be deployed with what missions, etc. Since when are military strategies supposed to be announced publically? And how does that equate to us "doing more"?

And perhaps the biggest mystery... Why did she think it was a good idea to appear on this show, if this is the nonsense she had to say?
