Anthony Weiner Debates Betsy McCaughey, For Some Reason

Here’s newly-minted liberal health care hero Rep. Anthony Weiner debating evil liar/assassin Betsy McCaughey last night, in New York, on the topic of… wait just one sec here… oh yes, “health kare.” She’s like, “read the bill, Jew,” and he’s like, “die you fucking bitch.”

Here’s another clip, because why not, right?

    Where’s Grayson when we need him.

  2. MLHencken says at 10:54 am, October 6th, 2009

    “People don’t read things!” APPLAUSE! wtf?

    Nice smackdown. But she’ll just be back for more.

  3. Gorillionaire says at 10:55 am, October 6th, 2009

    “Die you fucking bitch” is just about the only thing that should ever be said out loud to that horrible human shill of a woman.

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 10:58 am, October 6th, 2009

    I don’t why anyone would want to debate someone who is insane or a pathological liar. I’ve had better conversations with brick walls. Bets looks like someone who spends a lot of time jamming her fingers into her ears while screaming “I can’t hear you!!!!!!!!”

    Go Weenie!

  5. bitchincamaro says at 10:59 am, October 6th, 2009

    It’s pundit, not pundint, fuckface.

  6. x111e7thst says at 11:00 am, October 6th, 2009

    Pity he did not stab her with a nail clipper

  7. MLHencken says at 11:01 am, October 6th, 2009

    Will Betsy be today’s Sully/Michael Steele on Wonkette?

  8. Texan Bulldoggette says at 11:01 am, October 6th, 2009

    Maybe she & Anthony are just really sexually attracted to each other and this is how they express their love that must never be expressed??

    Just saw these 2 on MSNBC…man, she’s about as likable as a case of herpes.

  9. Carrie_Okie says at 11:02 am, October 6th, 2009

    I wonder if she has that skin stretched any tighter across her face it might split down the middle at some point?

  10. ManchuCandidate: I’ve had better conversations with dining room tables, myself. But then again, I’m from New England.

  11. AnnieGetYourFun says at 11:03 am, October 6th, 2009

    MLHencken: Depends. Do we get to hear about how she boned a guy for 12 hours and had orgasm after orgasm? This is how you get Wonkette’s undying attention.

  12. bitchincamaro says at 11:04 am, October 6th, 2009

    Gorillionaire: I’ve got an assortment of domestically grown, sharpened, white oak stakes, which I gladly offer to Mr. Weiner for the next and final smackdown.

  13. He asked her to continue making shit up; think she can manage that?

  14. Oh, she brought her big book with her. Does she carry that prop around wherever she goes?

  15. AnnieGetYourFun says at 11:08 am, October 6th, 2009

    How did this woman manage to get herself injected into the debate at all? There have got to be hundreds of former Lieutenant Governors who end their term and simply shut the fuck up, right?

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 11:09 am, October 6th, 2009

    I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the evil healthcare troll is McCain’s type — of course cute and blonde is probably appealing to most Senators, especially if she has an altar boy who tags along with her.

  17. I love how this woman went on the Daily Show, a program with a viewership of MILLIONS of stoned teenagers and my father, and lied through her teeth about the healthcare bill. Why does anyone listen to her anymore? I suppose the Republicans no longer (ever did?) care about telling the truth, they just want you to say the talking words they agree with.

  18. slappypaddy says at 11:13 am, October 6th, 2009

    i see likes grabbin an puckerin on them long stiff things. my kind of… well, she’s a woman, right? someone help me out here.

  19. I wondered what’s happened to Bob Saget and Kim Bassinger, they don’t seem to agree anymore.

  20. freakishlystrong says at 11:17 am, October 6th, 2009

    Who gives this lying bitch a platform, fuckin’ librul media? She’s a known liar, she lied the last time we went through this healthkare crap and she’s lying now. Ignore it and it will hopefully slink away. Like Liz Cheney, same dealio.

  21. bitchincamaro:Its just missing an apostrophe,and maybe a consonant. “Are you a pundit, or a pundidn’t!”

  22. hunter.blatherer says at 11:19 am, October 6th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Remember, Anthony’s spent a lot of time around Hillary, so has a high pain threshold. But vaudeville is the highest form of American art. I wonder if these two will take their wildly successful show on the road?

  23. Edywin: Socialism…it’s just crawling with the evils!

  24. Edywin: Also the requisite “?” Why so serious? Punkchewashun Nazi!

  25. RoscoePColtraine says at 11:22 am, October 6th, 2009

    Wow, Kathleen Turner is looking great. I always was a huge fan. Especially when she plays “the bitch.”

  26. hobospacejunkie says at 11:23 am, October 6th, 2009

    “Read the bill, Jew.” You know she was thinking just that. Such a loathsome woman.

    Yesterday, while clicking ’round the web reading about children of Nazis I inadvertently arrived at the stormfront website’s forum whereupon I read a comment referring to what I think was television as the “electric Jew.” I didn’t realize there was more than one way to say “Jew-run media.” Live & learn.

  27. El Pinche says at 11:23 am, October 6th, 2009

    These two need to get a room. There’s hate fuck written all over this.

  28. DoctorCulturae says at 11:24 am, October 6th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Correct. Arguments with brick walls are not really arguments, debates, or even negotiations. All require real listening, critical consideration, and response. This is utterly pointless unless the context is reset which is why Weiner is so effective.

    This blonde person is a representative of the monied brick house. She is a brick wall of that house, writ large with greed and selfishness. Just in time for Halloween, the wall masquerades as a LILF.

  29. El Pinche says at 11:28 am, October 6th, 2009

    PoignancySelz: Figuratively, it would be like the ear-cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs. Grayson would be dancing around Barbie McCorporate to “Stuck in the Middle With You.”

  30. Gopherit says at 11:28 am, October 6th, 2009

    I think every wonketteer can agree: We love us some Weiner.

  31. Gopherit says at 11:30 am, October 6th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Lies. Betsy has never had an orgasm.

  32. the problem child says at 11:30 am, October 6th, 2009

    What was the venue for this debate? Because if it was anywhere inside Weiner’s district, good for him for taking the bullshit by the horns.

  33. hobospacejunkie says at 11:34 am, October 6th, 2009

    Anthony Weiner for Prez 2016! With extra-special bonus of Huma Abedin as First Lady. This has destiny written all over it.

  34. She clearly is absolutely shrieking inside and mastered the ancient Amerian art of smiling no matter what and various other human-like facial expressions — but the lid could come off at any minute. I would not be surprised if she changes into a dog sweater and pacifier when she gets home, and acts out a little death panel scenario about Anthony Weiner with her Shihtzu, Mr. Poopsie, all in baby talk. Literally.

  35. She and her ilk will never be cured of stupidity because it’s a pre-existing condition.

  36. MLHencken says at 11:36 am, October 6th, 2009

    DoctorCulturae: The L is for “Lunatic”? or perhaps LOONCAKE.

  37. hobospacejunkie says at 11:37 am, October 6th, 2009

    Every time I see Rep. Weiner on Rachel’s show I just want to hug the man. Why can’t there be more like him? Gov. Blind Man should’ve appointed him to the Senate instead of that republican in Democrat clothing Gillebrand.

  38. Re the “debate”. Note the part where Betts throws holy water on Weiner:

  39. engulfedinflames says at 11:42 am, October 6th, 2009

    Such a pretty face.

  40. DoctorCulturae says at 11:44 am, October 6th, 2009

    Norbert: You have stumbled on to a pitiful archetype which Ms. McCoy fits perfectly: the entitled cougar infant lounging on her cozy sofa, playing voodoo with her poochies whilst anxiously sipping Cosmopolitans through a straw.

  41. Gorillionaire says at 11:46 am, October 6th, 2009

    Betsy brought her big book prop with her to the Daily Show too, except that Stewart wanted to look inside of it and read aloud parts of it and that obviously annoyed the crap out of her. I just can’t decide which it is, does she love money that much or just hate people that much? Tough call.

  42. DoctorCulturae says at 11:47 am, October 6th, 2009

    MLHencken: ‘Lobbyist’ though I could go with lunatic or looncake: at this point differences with no distinction.

  43. bitchincamaro says at 11:53 am, October 6th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Don’t think so. He’s still hot for whatzherface.

  44. ignatius_riley says at 11:55 am, October 6th, 2009

    He makes a kissy face at the end! But to who??

  45. engulfedinflames: True, for Weiner. Bets is 60 years old, so I would fact-check everything I’ve heard since 1949.

  46. PoignancySelz says at 11:57 am, October 6th, 2009

    El Pinche: Damn, Pinche, what a reference, I’d love to see Michael Madsen fuck that bitch all up.

  47. Gorillionaire: prop comic
    freakishlystrong: Marathon sex-machine Andrew Sullivan, actually. He was the editor of Even The Liberal New Republic when they published the infamous cover story “No Exit”, by McCaughey, which was full of similar bullshit about the Clinton health care plan.

  48. El Pinche says at 12:18 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Gopherit: We may a have a full a testicle with Grayson, Weiner and Franks. We need to work on the other side.

  49. randomsausage says at 12:21 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Fuckin’ A, this guy is worryingly well-informed, reasoned, articulate and funny. Hillary better put a contract out on him before 2014.

  50. ttommyunger says at 12:25 pm, October 6th, 2009

    The good Representative is the only Weiner EVER capable of standing up to that worn-out old piece of ass. And Grayson is the new face of Liberal Health Care Reform.

  51. the problem child says at 12:28 pm, October 6th, 2009

    ignatius_riley: A handy hint: If your question sounds like an owl, you meant to use “whom”.
    -Grammar Nazi Owl out.

  52. the problem child: The question ‘to whom?’ engenders the reply ‘to meem’, of course.

  53. imissopus says at 1:14 pm, October 6th, 2009

    AnnieGetYourFun: Michael Steele was a lieutenant governor.

  54. AnnieGetYourFun says at 1:23 pm, October 6th, 2009

    imissopus: I stand corrected.

  55. Suds McKenzie says at 1:25 pm, October 6th, 2009

    When do they start the dancing?

  56. house of the blue lights says at 1:35 pm, October 6th, 2009

    “Jane, you ignorant slut”

  57. GreatOldOnesParty says at 1:39 pm, October 6th, 2009

    speaking of whores, I notice a resemblance between Ms. McCaughey and my favorite Manc pr0nstar: Alicia Rhodes.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Rhodes

  58. GreatOldOnesParty says at 1:44 pm, October 6th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: “Electric Jew 2: Liberal Boogaloo”?

  59. assistant/atlas says at 1:49 pm, October 6th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: On a lighter note, “Electric Jew” would be an awesome name for a band.

  60. RabidHamster says at 2:00 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Why can’t we all have the health care we are arguing for? Socialized medicine for most, and immediate death panels for Betsy and her ilk. It’d certainly simplify things.

  61. An Outhouse says at 2:07 pm, October 6th, 2009

    “Anthony Weiner on Betsy McCaughey”?

    WTF? Aren’t weiners meant to go in things, not on them?

  62. GreatOldOnesParty says at 2:08 pm, October 6th, 2009

    assistant/atlas: I’m pretty sure “the Electric Jew” (note the article) is a variant on the Electric Slide often played at Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s and Weddings.

  63. DangerousLiberal says at 2:30 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Jesus Christ, didn’t this sorry waste of protoplasm just up and disappear after she stood up–and stayed stood up–behind one of George “Where am I?” Pataki’s speeches? When she went all rogue before rogue was cool? I thought someone had knocked some sense into this…this thing. And yet, even after leaving the Empire State, I have to be reminded of this batshit crazy woman. It was bad enough that Pataki was Governor of the Corporate Feeding Trough. Now this cow is bought and paid for too.

    It’s “women” like ol’ Bess that make my local Blue Cross executives seem human.

  64. Moritzburg says at 2:54 pm, October 6th, 2009

    My favorite part of the debate was when Betsy started drinking vodka out of Weiner’s anus.

  65. Way Cool Larry says at 3:03 pm, October 6th, 2009

    she looks pretty hawt, from a distance anyway

  66. EdFlinstone says at 3:46 pm, October 6th, 2009

    It must be so gratifying knowing your life’s work is to make sure people do not get healthcare.

  67. vladster says at 4:05 pm, October 6th, 2009

    This bitch just collects wall street billionaires for husbands when she not whoring for the providers. What a survivor she is!

  68. dr.giraud says at 4:32 pm, October 6th, 2009

    DangerousLiberal: It was a State of the State address, in fron of the state Senate, Assembly and the justices of the Court of Appeals (NY’s version of the Supreme Court). It’s the only time ALL the statewide media pay attention to Albany. And ol’ Betsy was too fucking stupid to know when to sit down through one of Droopy-Dog Pataki’s interminable speeches, and was seen as a complete idiot for the remainder of her single, sad-sack term as Lt. Gov.

  69. TubeCity says at 5:20 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Wiener was kind of roommates with Jon Stewart in their twenties, in Soho USA. Wiener didn’t officially live in the same apartment as Stewart, but Wiener was dating a woman who lived in the apartment and he hung out there a lot. Hell, you probably already know this. And don’t care. My bad.
