John King Lets Carly Fiorina Defend Her Koch Brothers Money by Saying She's New to Politics
By Heather


Isn't it wonderful to see one of our Beltway Villager "journalists" pretend to ask a Republican candidate a serious question about the people who are funding their campaign, only to see them punt and let that candidate get away with a ridiculous explanation to that question unchallenged? That's exactly what John King did here with Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in California and former HP CEO Carly Fiorina.

King asks Fiorina about that Koch Brothers money that's been coming her way and allows her to punt without being challenged and say that there's money from special interests coming in on all sides and to pretend that she's some "newcomer" to politics. I guess King forgot that she was an adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign, so she can hardly claim to be a political "newcomer".

King of course didn't challenge her on that fact. And apparently Fiorina thinks that former CEO's who make their golden parachutes by outsourcing jobs from the United States are better suited than those evil "career politicians" with helping our country get out of this economic ditch we're in.

Barbara Boxer has been pretty decent with representing progressive issues even if she did fall by the wayside with supporting Joe Lieberman's reelection which I'll always have a sore spot with her for her doing so. That said, she's a mile better than miss-outsourcing queen Fiorina. The Koch brothers are funding Fiorina for a reason, and it's not because they're looking out for the average citizen out there. They're looking out for their own interests and figuring Fiorina will be on the side of big business like all of the Republicans.

1. I'm Glad These Shitbags Are Being Exposed...

Kudos to Keith and Rachel for shining the light on the darkest holes of the GOTB netherworld. I'm curious who the 3 billionaires who are doing the majority of Rover's funding are...my bet Bob Perry's in that group.

The irony is how the wingnuts went all beserk (as they always do) about George Soros with little fact other than what notsoBreitbart says...while here we have the real Soros at work and the more they're exposed the closer we come to learning how bought and sold not just the rushpublicans but all politicians are.

On Election Night I'll be very happy to see Carly kicked on her outsourcing ass and Whitman lose not just the electin but all those EBay dollars. Two comtemptable and ugly oxygen thieves.

3. "Newcomer to politics" is the new meme for Republicans

That means: not a career politician. For example, Russ Feingold's opponent Ron Johnson. When Johnson was caught in inconvenient answers, he pleaded that he is new to politics. They think it's a badge of honor.

4. Same Oligarchy different sock puppet.

Just the way the Koch brothers like it.
