Anthony Weiner Debates Betsy McCaughey, For Some Reason

by Jim Newell  

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.

MLHencken October 6, 2009 at 10:54 am

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

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

Gorillionaire October 6, 2009 at 10:55 am

“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.

ManchuCandidate October 6, 2009 at 10:58 am

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!

bitchincamaro October 6, 2009 at 10:59 am

It’s pundit, not pundint, fuckface.

x111e7thst October 6, 2009 at 11:00 am

Pity he did not stab her with a nail clipper

MLHencken October 6, 2009 at 11:01 am

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

Texan Bulldoggette October 6, 2009 at 11:01 am

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.

Carrie_Okie October 6, 2009 at 11:02 am

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

Potater October 6, 2009 at 11:02 am

[re=427472]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I’ve had better conversations with dining room tables, myself. But then again, I’m from New England.

AnnieGetYourFun October 6, 2009 at 11:03 am

[re=427475]MLHencken[/re]: 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.

bitchincamaro October 6, 2009 at 11:04 am

[re=427471]Gorillionaire[/re]: 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.

blargh October 6, 2009 at 11:05 am

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

Carlos October 6, 2009 at 11:08 am

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

AnnieGetYourFun October 6, 2009 at 11:08 am

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?

SayItWithWookies October 6, 2009 at 11:09 am

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.

Potater October 6, 2009 at 11:12 am

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.

slappypaddy October 6, 2009 at 11:13 am

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.

Edywin October 6, 2009 at 11:14 am

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

freakishlystrong October 6, 2009 at 11:17 am

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.

Edywin October 6, 2009 at 11:19 am

[re=427473]bitchincamaro[/re]:Its just missing an apostrophe,and maybe a consonant. “Are you a pundit, or a pundidn’t!”

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

[re=427472]ManchuCandidate[/re]: 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?

dijetlo October 6, 2009 at 11:19 am

[re=427489]Edywin[/re]: Socialism…it’s just crawling with the evils!

Edywin October 6, 2009 at 11:22 am

[re=427492]Edywin[/re]: Also the requisite “?” Why so serious? Punkchewashun Nazi!

RoscoePColtraine October 6, 2009 at 11:22 am

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

hobospacejunkie October 6, 2009 at 11:23 am

“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.

El Pinche October 6, 2009 at 11:23 am

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

DoctorCulturae October 6, 2009 at 11:24 am

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.

El Pinche October 6, 2009 at 11:28 am

[re=427468]PoignancySelz[/re]: 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.”

Gopherit October 6, 2009 at 11:28 am

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

Gopherit October 6, 2009 at 11:30 am

[re=427479]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Lies. Betsy has never had an orgasm.

the problem child October 6, 2009 at 11:30 am

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.

hobospacejunkie October 6, 2009 at 11:34 am

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

Norbert October 6, 2009 at 11:34 am

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.

Servo October 6, 2009 at 11:35 am

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

MLHencken October 6, 2009 at 11:36 am

[re=427501]DoctorCulturae[/re]: The L is for “Lunatic”? or perhaps LOONCAKE.

hobospacejunkie October 6, 2009 at 11:37 am

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.

S.Luggo October 6, 2009 at 11:37 am

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

Such a pretty face.

DoctorCulturae October 6, 2009 at 11:44 am

[re=427515]Norbert[/re]: 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.

Gorillionaire October 6, 2009 at 11:46 am

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.

DoctorCulturae October 6, 2009 at 11:47 am

[re=427518]MLHencken[/re]: ‘Lobbyist’ though I could go with lunatic or looncake: at this point differences with no distinction.

bitchincamaro October 6, 2009 at 11:53 am

[re=427476]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Don’t think so. He’s still hot for whatzherface.

ignatius_riley October 6, 2009 at 11:55 am

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

WadISay October 6, 2009 at 11:56 am

[re=427528]engulfedinflames[/re]: True, for Weiner. Bets is 60 years old, so I would fact-check everything I’ve heard since 1949.

PoignancySelz October 6, 2009 at 11:57 am

[re=427504]El Pinche[/re]: Damn, Pinche, what a reference, I’d love to see Michael Madsen fuck that bitch all up.

[re=427532]Gorillionaire[/re]: prop comic
[re=427491]freakishlystrong[/re]: 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.

El Pinche October 6, 2009 at 12:18 pm

[re=427505]Gopherit[/re]: We may a have a full a testicle with Grayson, Weiner and Franks. We need to work on the other side.

randomsausage October 6, 2009 at 12:21 pm

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

ttommyunger October 6, 2009 at 12:25 pm

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.

the problem child October 6, 2009 at 12:28 pm

[re=427537]ignatius_riley[/re]: A handy hint: If your question sounds like an owl, you meant to use “whom”.
-Grammar Nazi Owl out.

TGY October 6, 2009 at 1:13 pm

[re=427573]the problem child[/re]: The question ‘to whom?’ engenders the reply ‘to meem’, of course.

imissopus October 6, 2009 at 1:14 pm

[re=427483]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Michael Steele was a lieutenant governor.

AnnieGetYourFun October 6, 2009 at 1:23 pm

[re=427639]imissopus[/re]: I stand corrected.

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

[re=427499]hobospacejunkie[/re]: “Electric Jew 2: Liberal Boogaloo”?

assistant/atlas October 6, 2009 at 1:49 pm

[re=427499]hobospacejunkie[/re]: On a lighter note, “Electric Jew” would be an awesome name for a band.

RabidHamster October 6, 2009 at 2:00 pm

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.

An Outhouse October 6, 2009 at 2:07 pm

“Anthony Weiner on Betsy McCaughey”?

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

GreatOldOnesParty October 6, 2009 at 2:08 pm

[re=427687]assistant/atlas[/re]: 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.

DangerousLiberal October 6, 2009 at 2:30 pm

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.

Moritzburg October 6, 2009 at 2:54 pm

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

Way Cool Larry October 6, 2009 at 3:03 pm

she looks pretty hawt, from a distance anyway

EdFlinstone October 6, 2009 at 3:46 pm

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

vladster October 6, 2009 at 4:05 pm

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

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

[re=427759]DangerousLiberal[/re]: 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.

TubeCity October 6, 2009 at 5:20 pm

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.
