Is anyone more out of touch with reality than Mona Charen ??
She was on C-SPAN again this morning. She said there was not a touch of scandal in this Administration. She was not happy with the Congress but the Administration was as pure as the driven snow, according to Mona. Also, she said that poverty had gone down under this Administration? Every report I have seen show s that people under the poverty line has increased by about 5 million since the beginning of this Administration? What fantasy world does she live in? Does she ever get out of her house? She is one delusional person.

1. She made me sick to my stomach
This woman is truly on drugs or something - or she is so frickin out of touch with reality, how can she even appear in public and mouth these ridiculous platitudes?

2. Maybe she's been on another planet.
Haven't heard from her in quite awhile. Coulter must be going on vacation so they trotted out Mona to fill in.

As far aa the poverty line, I guess it all depends on who is drawing that line. BushCo and Mona can make that pie higher and make themselves look damn good. The manipulation of statistics is a skill these folks have down.

3. "Not a touch of scandal"?
That must be the Bizarro U.S. she's referring to.

11. She worked in the Reagan White House
Did some speechwriting under Peggy Noonan's tenure... which explains everything you need to know about the wretched shitbag.

10. She's Jewish and as far as I know she has not
converted to fundie Christianity. I don't even know if she's orthodox or even religious at all. Most American Jews are non observant.

16. C-SPAN had Ruth Coniff from the Progressive opposite her...
and she did a good job. It's difficult to get a word in edgewise when someone like Mona Charen keeps butting in...

20. right, I know, I saw it. She was weak, but not as weak as most.
They never have any facts or comebacks, whatsoever. All she had to do when Mona said that the WH was clean was say, "You have got to be kidding, Mona. One of president's aide's was just indicted for lying to Fitz, the head of procurement was indicted, Bush's closest aid (rove) is neck deep in the plame scandal, and it is obvious to all that B** and Cheney lied to the country about a war."

8. Since she is in the upper class and probably associates
only with members of her class, it stands to reason she would not know anything about the increase in poverty.

If you don't see the poor then they don't exist.

14. There are some people who's opinions are so 'misguided' and idiotic
and who's minds are so vacant as to be able to describe them as a vacuum. They are people who haven't quite got the smarts to qualify for more that sick joke status. Ann Coulter and Mona Charen are two that come immediately to mind. I guess Malkin could qualify as well. She's just not that important that she requires worrying about.

15. My newspaper occasionally carries her delusional editorials...
She is so unbelievably naive and/or stupid, I do fine just ignoring her.

18. She was Kate O'Beirne's predecessor on Capitol Gang ..
She was so batshit crazy that even Novak had to replace her. Her nasty, haughty attitude didn't suit the "image" of the coup plotters.

21. Who is she and why should we care what she thinks?
I meant both of those as serious questions. I don't know who she is or what influence she has.

I also meant it the way you probably read it, but I'd still like to know.

22. She has her followers....
And anytime we have people spreading lies like she does, we should all be concerned.

23. She publishes on aish.com now
I had to turn her off on Crossfire she would get my blood pressure up so. I'd want to reach through the TV screen and choke the little weasel.
