MARSHA BLACKBURN (R-TN) CRASHES, BURNS ON NATIONAL TELEVISION
>
Only one of these crooks is still in Congress
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is one of the worst right wing extremists in the entire U.S. Congress. Other than a gaggle of crazy freshmen who haven't had enough time to amass full-fledged lunatic voting records, she has the third most reactionary record in the Congress, beaten only by neo-fascist kook Eric Cantor (R-VA) and corrupt closet queen Patrick McHenry (R-NC). She thought she was going to be on MSNBC with Republican cypher Tucker Carlson and nearly pissed in her pants when confronted with an actual journalist, David Shuster, who cut short her propaganda rant about the NY Times and MoveOn.
Crooks & Liars has the embarrassing video up of a wingnut congressmember clearly out of her depth and fumbling, quite unsuccessfully, to keep from sounding like a nitwit and a hypocrite. A local paper, the Memphis Flyer claims Blackburn was flustered because she "forgot she wasn't on Fox."
Her opponent next year will be Bill Morrison, who ran against her in 2006. I like his ad. Here she is with Shuster:
UPDATE: AN ANTIDOTE TO BLACKBURN
Darcy Burner's comment about "more and better Democrats" is my theme for this election cycle. Jane has a post up at FDL right now, It's Ladies Night reminding everyone that the DCCC did not support women candidates in 2006. We're not taking any chances they make the same mistake again. We've got a great team of women running for Congress in 2008. So far Blue America has endorsed Sam Bennett, Darcy Burner, Donna Edwards, Victoria Wulsin and Angie Paccione. This is the last week of the quarter, a good time to show the flag. How about $5 for each of these extraordinary Americans?

Boy, you could feel her temper rising and her bunghole tightening as this interview continued. I'll be she was bitchin' up a storm in the limo back to her office. Gawddam commie TV guy. How the fuck was I supposed to know who the fuck died? I'm busy workin' with the families and shit. Where the hell was Tucker, gawdammit!?!
I can't thank you enough for championing Donna Edwards in her fight against crooked Al Wynn. As an unwilling transplant to Wynn's district, I intend to do what I can to support Edwards. I used to live in Van Hollen's district and spent years voting against Connie Morella, another bush-licking toady like Wynn, but with an R behind her name. Being represented by Wynn makes me feel like all of my time spent agitating and rallying friends and neighbors against Morella was wasted since I now have to worry about getting rid of a person who is just as bad.
Wynn is a corporatist tool and Bush Dog wannabe who has only tried to change his behavior because Edwards pushed him to the wall last year. We already knew he was in bed with business, working against his constituents' interests, but the bankruptcy bill was the last straw. Wynn represents some of the very people whom the bankruptcy bill most hurt. In addition, his other awful votes and misbehavior are almost too many to list. (I'm sure he would vote with bush on Iraq if he thought he could get away with it.) We have to get rid of this guy for our own good, and the good of the country.
