And think, she was a Republican a mere 20 years ago. Hard to imagine, eh?

I’d really like to know the decision process Christie and Cuomo used. Who was involved? Who advised them?

I really hope Warren goes further politically. She is one of the few pols living in the same world as I.

Christie was listening to the miniature Karl Rove perched on his shoulder. Cuomo was seen to have a finger in the wind, and asked “This way?” I tell you, one is lower than the other. Luckily, I only have to suffer under Andrew’s Reign of Error, not the Christie Rape of New Jersey. Now, who the heck do I vote for next week? I will not pull the lever again for Cuomo, but most certainly will not vote for Astorino. Write in Zephyr Teachout is starting to look like the right move.

I don’t disagree with her but she should have included Cuomo. Both Christie and Cuomo are idiots but singling out just Christie makes it sound like a political attack.

Both governors bravely did the politically expedient thing and fed into the popular idea that we should all freak the f___ out about Ebola. Way to lead guys!

Watch that segment if you can find it. The contempt with which Charlie Rose, Noron, and Gayle King treat Warren is breathtaking. Rose, privileged dick that he is, calls her ‘a troublemaker’ and cuts the segment.

So often, it feels as though Elizabeth Warren is the only responsible adult in the room. She is driven by social conscience, where HRC is driven by personal ambition. America can’t afford another corporate puppet in the White House. Senator Warren should do what’s best for the nation and run for President.

Christie’s approach was
‘screw science … I’m doing what ever I think will gain favor with the right wing fringe of the GOP’

Thanks, I wouldn’t have watched without your recommendation. I noticed they asked her if she disagrees with Chris Christie’s policy of “voluntary” quarantine. Last Friday the policy wasn’t voluntary, it was tent city for anyone coming from West Africa who had direct contact with Ebola patients.

The irony, it’s delicious.

She’s nearly the only Democrat who fights hard and with principle.
