Cokie Roberts Skewers Donald Trump and he Squeals like the Pig he is

1. I won't play this. She skeeves me out to no end. I don't care if she's dissing Trump.

Who with two brain cells to rub together doesn't diss Trump?

5. Thanks for the new word, valerief! I have never seen or heard "skeeve" before (age-related?)

I think it will be useful for me in the future!

6. I'm old, so it could be age-related. It could also be regional (I'm from the Northeast).

I use the verb skeeve and also the adjective skeevy. It means super-ickiness, super-blech.

2. I know who she is, but why is she 'someone'? Did she win a Pulitzer?

Isn't she just the daughter of someone who was a Senator? I mean, that doesn't make her 'someone'; it makes her someone's daughter, yes.

And frankly, she's always seemed VERY eager to parrot Republican talking points, particularly when those points sharply criticize Democrats. Just a disgrace.

So no, she's no Edmund Murrow. She's no Joseph Welch. She's more akin to Joseph Lieberman, and she is VERY Establishment, so take your ridiculous questions elsewhere.

3. I agree with you, but the point of the clip is to demonstrate

. . . that even a brain dead professional establishmentarian can look righteous asking Donald Trump "nasty" questions.

4. Understood. I was more thinking out loud, than

anything else.

7. I don't know what video people are watching. But all I heard was that oompa-loompa looking

motherfucker filibuster the entire segment while she sat there like an idiot trying to get a word in.
