This clip has been causing “a stir” out in California, according to our tipster, which makes sense, because wtf? Here’s this nice black preacher giving an opening statement to a California State Senate committee about how he, like everyone, wants to take measures reducing emissions, but he also doesn’t want those measures to fuck over his poor community. When he politely finishes, Sen. Pat Wiggins (a “Pat” of the lady variety) very crisply curses at him. He stares at her incredulously, because who does that? WHY DOES PAT WIGGINS DO THAT? [YouTube, North Coast Journal]
Why Pat Wiggins got to be like that?
He didn’t finish as much as he was interrupted.
If homely older white women and sort of decent looking older black men can’t get along WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR THE REST OF US????
I love that she begins with, “Excuse me.” What a polite douche bag.
We had a word for people like her on my Elementary school playground. And that word is “meanie.”
We had another word for people like her on my college campus. And that word is “Hillary Clinton.”
Shitpiss, who do I look like, Houdini here? How the fuck do I know why she said that. Twat.
Passive aggressive old Bitter.
well he was obviously acting in a very threatening manner. what would you expect her to do?
She be wiggin out.
She was afraid of becoming a statistic.
/Bob Allen’d
That wasn’t a female as much as it was just a mass of rude, stinky crotch flesh.
Thank god someone had the balls to call him on his bullshit argument that the community should be involved in something that would affect him. I’m just relieved it didn’t have to be me…
With all due respect to representative knucklehead, dude didn’t MAKE an argument. He just said ‘Hey, our community is the one which endures the most impact of any chance, we’d like to be included in decision-making, and we appreciate the work you’ve been doing.’
Literally, his last words before she cries “bullsh*t” are ‘we appreciate the work of the committee’ etc.
So, is she saying, “Bullsh*t, this committee hasn’t done sh*t, how dare you suggest we’ve been helpful?”
wow, how rude.
Is she related to the ‘Mr. Wiggins’ on the Carol Burnett show?
You know, the stupid boss- Carol used to play his tarty secretary.
not exactly “building bridges”, but kind of …. hmmmm …. is there more to this (I don’t mean to the YouTube clip) than we know?
Basically all she’s saying is that a black person already had the opportunity to speak, so obviously she doesn’t need to hear from any others. The quota for black (and hispanic!) opinions has already been met. So in a word, his argument is ‘bullshit’. Perfectly reasonable, if you ask Geraldine Ferraro.
Uppity Negroes… she sure showed him.
Too bad the pastor didn’t respond with “Excuse me, but I think you’re a stupid cunt.”
That “bullshit” comment sounds like it was dubbed in or came from a mic that wasn’t supposed to be open.
He looked to the side when the b.s. comment was made, then back to the front, to the chair, when the old hag started patronizing him and asking him if was familiar with the cinema classic, “Mandingo”…

SuperRounder: To be fair, we don’t know what she looks like. The woman the camera went to was not Pat. She could be hot…
http://www.wiggins4senate.com/
Okay, she is not hot. All old, white women look the same. I have nothing to look forward to…
She was channeling her internal Hillary and imagined he was Barry
From her bio: “Pat, at one time, was an accomplished parachutist, having been raised in a family of daredevils. Her father, Ralph Wiggins, was the stuntman responsible for the wing-walking maneuvers in Robert Redford’s classic movie, The Great Waldo Pepper, and her mother Grace was one of the first women ever to parachute.”
Fist off, her bio is bullshit.
Secondly - she’s the daughter of the nose picking kid on the Simpsons?
She’s pretty clearly sick and tired of these Negroes and their celebrity status and their presumption that anyone cares what they think. Take that, Hopey!
Awesome suit on that minister.
I mean, a black person stating that raising taxes on stuff like power and gas that will hit poor people hardest and soonest to essentially assuage white guilt over having too many toys and being too comfortable, what could be more bullshit?
…as much as it saddens me to do so, Im going to have revoke his negroe card. Yes, being polite is all admirable and stuff but that woman deserved a “B%tch if you don’t shut the fukk up!!!” or atleast a “Don’t make me act ignorant in this motherfukker!!!”.
Wiggo wasn’t wearing a shirt, that’s a full torso tat she got at a Dead show thirty years ago. Flashback city.
I don’t know, if someone took that long to say, ” I need to represent”, I might snap and use some expletives.
…and just for the record Monica Conyers still has her beat!

AngryBlakGuy: “Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta choke a bitch?!”
Yes, I believe that Wiggins is actually a Bitter and a secret PUMA who saw a black man in a suit talking and had an immediate visceral reaction. In fact, her office is populated by PUMAs:
England told WND that numerous supporters had contacted Wiggins’ office, without results.
“The receptionist told me that I had the wrong attitude. Then, she began to lecture me. When I wouldn’t let her do so, she hung up on me … Clearly, the folks in Sacramento think that they’re above us,” said one supporter. Another wrote to England, “I called Sen. Wiggins office and [was] accused of being ’sexist’ because I called for a public apology to the people of the State of California for Sen. Wiggins’ use of profanity and apparently I have never complained about any of the male senators using profanity. The CA state government is out of control!”

Classic.
She probably also comments on ABC threads under the pseudonym NOOBAMA.
Pat, at one time, was an accomplished parachutist, having been raised in a family of daredevils. Her father, Ralph Wiggins, was the stuntman responsible for the wing-walking maneuvers in Robert Redford’s classic movie, The Great Waldo Pepper, and her mother Grace was one of the first women ever to parachute.
The term douche bag comes to mind.
Pat Wiggins as Susan B. Anthony

Ralph Wiggins??? This woman is the child of Ralph Wiggins? Incredible. “Ralph:”Then, the doctor told me that BOTH my eyes were lazy! And that’s why it was the best summer ever.” .”
Maybe she just got steve mckenna’d during lunch…
The Real JR Revisted: well, the World Net Daily link concludes with:
…
WND reported last week when California lawmakers mandated a plan to have school children celebrate homosexuality with an annual school holiday event and cleared the way for communists to teach classes in the state’s public schools.
Commies. probably gay commies at that.
still don’t understand why she would blow up on the minister.
Not_So_Much: …that would have been EPIC!!!
I bet she and Harriet Christian would have a hoot together over a bottle of cheap sherry and a pack of Pall Malls.
I bet a lot of PUMAs are also cougars.
Apparently she has a reputation for being “direct.” Her husband blames it on her hearing.

but she has apologized. At least by letter. Still trying to set up a meeting with the good reverend.
http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_10187891
qwerty42: I did a search on her and evidently she’s been having all sorts of outbursts (including jumping up on her chain during session) that people are starting to question her mental fitness.
I think she should be on watch just like Mrs. Conyers. She was fun too.
Looks like Pat is off (or on) her meds.
Damn! Inexcusable!
Monica Conyers vs. Pat Wiggins: this needs to happen.
“Y’alls argument is bullshit, SHREK!”
As for Senator Wiggins’ outburst and any other seemingly insane behavior: Before an opinion is formed, I must ask if she was ever held captive and beaten every day for five and a half years?
From her campaign website, it also seems that the security of her hotmail account has been compromised. HOTMAIL! Yes, wiggins4senate@hotmail.com! Cutting edge shit right there.
Pat Wiggins used to date Eliot Spitzer, Ted Nugent and Jerry Brown.
That wasn’t nearly as exciting as I thought it was going to be.
I think this “Pat” woman must be Cindy McCain in disguise. I mean, how many cunts can there be running around out there?
So… did the California State House get a great deal on safety railing? Instead of building what looks like a cockfighting ring, why not lower the dais?
Damn “Pat” Wiggins, angry androgynous lesbian legislator! First she raids the office of sweet Republican Rep. Brian Bilbray in California’s 50th Congressional District, dressed in a rabid chicken suit, now she expletives the good pastor.
Wiggins’ website won’t accept email unless you’re a constituent. Use zipcode 95490 - it’s the one for the Willits News in…yup, truck nutz and country bitters…Willits CA.
Did “Pat” Wiggins kill Bill Gwatney yesterday? Dressed as a Dyke on Bikes?
She may have lost her mind, hearing, & ability to Hotmail, but her warm smile shines like a sun.
That video sucked. But Monica Conyers was keeping it real.
Something seems shady about this. The Chairwoman totally disregards the crazy comment and talks about an absent guy as if it somehow makes up for the crazy comment? I’m calling photoshop or, you know, its audible equivalent..
floraway: HA HA HA. Someone has hacked her email according to her website and is asking for money honey.
Anyone here willing to take responsibility for that? Especially you uppity african types?
I’d do it but I don’t think she has any money to steal…
clearly there is some kind of nation-wide siege of polite black men trying to wrench power from the hands of cranky old white ladies, and they are NOT GOING TO HAVE IT ANYMORE. gosh darnit i thought john lennon had decided this issue when he proclaimed women to be the nigger of the world. that entitles ms. wiggins and her parachuting old ass to yell curse words whenever she wants!
i feel embarrassed for the other old white lady who is trying to be racist is subtler ways (we’ve heard from that other black group).
What. A. Cunt.
whoah have you guys seen the creepy vomitous comments on the monica conyers youtube? that shit is depressing.
She was way rude, all right…but I thought my brains were going to melt out my ears from hearing him make a 20-word point in 2000 words and going strong. If the good Pastor isn’t on a city council somewhere he should be.
Borat: Seems suspicious to me. Don’t you think that SHE sent out the sleazy request for money, then later realized it made her look like a total tool, so she blamed it on hackers?
Rude bitters make me happypants.
Bitch, shit? Santa Rosa, eh? Ain’t that where they have all the damn vampires?
pickleandcake: Hard to be any more depressing than the Monica Conyers video itself.
Every pastor should be treated like that. Good for her. Sorry she’s not a well woman but good for her!
“Wiggins’ interjection came as Jones, who is black, was testifying that California’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions have in the past included “fees or higher utilities” that he said can have a disproportionate adverse affect on minorities.
David Miller, Wiggins’ spokesman, said the senator took issue with what he said was the pastor’s implication that certain members of the community were not welcome as full participants in the discussion.”
http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20080813/NEWS/808130362/0/sudoku
THEY KNOW THEY ARE WELCOME NOW. SHE SHOWED ‘EM!
STUPID MINORITIES THINKING THEY ARE UNWELCOME!
THAT’S BULL!
If the Good Reverend’s preaching is anything like his opening statement, perhaps Senator Wiggins was merely representing his congregation when she made that foul comment.
I know that it’s a little disconcerting to hear such harsh language at a government function, but we should have realized that this was bound to happen once the division between church and state was breached.
Come on! What he was saying WAS bullshit. He’s one of those community gadflys who is always wasting people’s time at those meetings. Poor people suffer more from the pollution from emissions so what is his bitch? That smog control tests are too expensive for welfare recipients?
Really? Has nobody said it yet? Okay, then.
THAT’S NOT RACIAL TRANSCENDENCE!
I call bullshit. Ahem.
That is, I do not think the woman who made the “bullshit” comment is the same as the woman who is speaking at the end of the video, who looks to me like Sen. Wiggins. Others here have seen that the pastor turns his head to his left when the “bullshit” comment is made, then back straight ahead to hear Wiggins.
Wiggens has an excuse, since she represents California’s “2nd Senate District, which includes portions or all of six counties: Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano & Sonoma.”
http://dist02.casen.govoffice.com/
To her, poor-folk are the migrant farm workers who pick the grapes, and grow the weed, and we all know that they are not impacted very much by environmental initiatives, since they get around 40 or 50 at a time in the back of a Ryder truck. Besides Pat thinks its bullshit to even consider them, because they don’t vote. The poor-folk within her voting constituency are the people unable to get financing for their 2nd Prius.
Sorry people, Pat Wiggens has always been a mean ole bitch. Has been ever since she was our advisor in high school.
At least this quote on the Press Democrat’s article’s comments makes the whole thing worthwhile:
lovesthelaw: Hey, she’s a liberal Democrat, what do you expect?
They have no class!BTW, have you ever noticed how UGLY liberal women are? They are always fat and ugly OR fat or ugly.
Or how ugly the cars are that are driven by those old liberal women with the butched-off hair and the liberal bumper stickers?
Liberalism is a mental disorder! It shows on their face, in their body, and in the dumpy cars they drive. Unless of course, they are in a Prius!
Now THAT’s intellectual discourse!
ALIVE!: You’re right, the woman shown speaking at the end is Sen. Chris Kehoe (D-San Diego), who is chair of the committee, and who was trying to gracefully move past Wiggins’ stupid comments. Wiggins said the bullshit thing, but was not shown in the video.. I volunteered for Kehoe when she was running for San Diego City Council way back in the early 1990s, and she’s a good person, or at least was at the time.
Dave J.: Ahhh, thanks. I thought Wiggins was the woman speaking on-camera … looked close enough to the website photo (good thing I’m not a PI). Seemed like Kehoe was trying to make the best of a bad situation.
amy amnesia: wtf?
Dave & Alive: I was under the same mistaken assumption until I read that CA blog, which (of course) led me to believe while I was watching it that Wiggins was a gifted two-face with a kickass case of multiple annoying personality disorder.
ALIVE!: All white women look alike to me anyway.
btw, what qualifies one as an accomplished parachutist? Landing safely?
Pat Wiggins’s concise reply is clipped here: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/14204/Pat-Wiggins/Curse/Cursing-at-a-Preacher/Your-arguments-are-bullshit
Jonny Lieberman: Part of her district is in Napa county, the world vortex of white guilt. And lots of soothing, soothing wine. Clearly, Pat was just back from a wine tasting; everyone was too nice to tell her that doing keg stands with wine looks really stupid, especially for an old deef lady senator.
