Williamson: ‘My Delivery Made Me Vulnerable To Mockery’

Self-help author Marianne Williamson is aware that her first debate performance garnered a fair amount of laughter. But she’s unlikely to change her ways.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1238634

“I choose not to base my sense of self on other people’s projections,” she added. “I receive more than enough support from people I respect. I’m out there continuing to do what I do, continuing the conversation that I’m very clear no one else is having.”

“I need to just be myself,” she said. “Elizabeth should be Elizabeth, Bernie should be Bernie, and Marianne should be Marianne.”

 

Amen.

“I hope that this time my delivery will be more aligned with my substance,”

If Williamson’s delivery is fully aligned with her substance, then she shall stay silent throughout.

:notes:Well, if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there’s a million things to do
You know that there are🎶

So she’s not going to speak at all?

@erik_t Heh, somehow I missed your comment.

Her candidacy reminds me of something … oh! I know - - -

Sports fantasy camps are a cross between vacation and training camp. You’re paying for the privilege to spend a few days hanging out with your idols – mingling, meeting-and-greeting, learning more about the game and even playing alongside your heros. The games are informal, and you don’t have to be an elite athlete to participate.

I’ve actually listened to her discuss racism and related topics, and she’s very articulate and—-Right On! So, don’t diss her until you really listen.

I’m not sure a blissful swan dive into the deep end of the irrationality pool is exactly the remedy the times require.

Pee Wee Herman would be more qualified to be on the debate stage.

Williamson is an narcissistic jackass.

Think she’d be a good president?

Yes , but she’s our fucking goofball. In the UK, they’ve had the Gremloids Party, led by Lord Bucket Head. He’s the one on the far right

and The Monster Raving Looney Party led by “Screaming Lord Sutch”. He’s the one next to David Cameron

So, all in all, it’s going to take a little more than Marianne Williamson to raise my eyebrow. She’s really quite conventional after all.

She’ll begin every answer by laying out crystals in a hexagram pattern and chanting an incantation while holding an amulet over it “to harness the vibrations.” The other candidates will be asked to face West and remain silent while smudging sage wands.

Those who don’t should vote for someone else.

Her presence in the race does not by itself prove that we still have free and fair elections – but it’s not inconsistent with that possibility, either.

I can literally name a dozen TPM commentators who I would vote for President over Marianne Williamson, and I don’t even need to think too hard about it.
