I think Contessa is physically very pretty. But her views of the world based on this and other clips I've seen make her hideous.
Here's what baffles me. Statists who at the exact same time reap enormous success within the free market and who enjoy shiny cars, swimming pools, fine meals… comfort, security and pleasure…
You can't have it both ways.
That's why liberals are generally hypocritical liars.

The question may have been loaded but his reaction was pretty immature. He kept ranting and raving about it even after they cleared it up.
She did form the question in such a manner that it could have been interpreted as to lead him in an ugly direction or to trap him, but watching and hearing the question that does not seem like her intent. She used education as an example.
He did answer generally so she threw out a specific is all and then when they explained the question in a clear manner. He was being a baby on this one. They asked it in the form of a question then he claims that she said that they would spend “…zero…” on education which she said nothing like what Judd claims she said. Judd is wrong on this one.
I am an independent for the record, and this behaviour makes me gag no matter who does it, even if I normally agree with the person I would still call bull-s$%t on using such a poor arguement. Either he lied or only heared what he wanted to hear. - Jeff
watch some other clips of Contessa and you'll see that her (and other liberals) like to hang others with words. That if you don't agree with their line of thinking, suddenly you don't have any heart or concern for:
• the children
• the animals
• the environment
• the weak, the sick
• the elderly
• etc….The problem for liberals is that intelligent people with other ideologies are see loaded questions delivered benignly but with malignant intent.
Katy Couric tried to destroy Glenn by asking him to “define Black Culture”.
Anyway, perception is changing fast about what traditional values are. And whether or not “change always equals progress” as a default.
Remember how years ago Coca Cola spend a massive amount coming up with Coke II. It seems change does not always equal progress. Now, they're business and to survive they went back to what people really wanted.
The same is about to happen in American politics, much to the dread of progressives.

I do understand your point about other situations in which the games are played, but the specific video in question makes Judd look really bad and not the reporters.
Watch his reaction a few more times. He ended up misquoting them in the same conversation. It's not like a few days later he remembered it wrong. This was within a minute he changed what they said from asking him a question into the reported saying something she didn't say, nor even imply. Asking about spending cuts and asking if they would cut education spending and then Judd turned it into claiming that she said that they said “…zero…” spending completely discredited him.
However, I will keep my eye out for it but I also know that the left, right, and independents use the same tricks but not because of their political stance….its because they run out of things to say and want to make the other person look bad.
Thanks for your comments and discussion.
I will have to youtube Contessa to see what her other tricks of speech she tries to use.mjs

I'm an independent as well and I agree with mjs on this one. This one video is not the proper example to use for an argument against Contessa. The senator's reaction here is a perfect example of how the “left versus right” mentality DOES prevent results and Obama even knows this which is what's allowing him to steamroll over the Constitution to continue along with his agenda. The only reason he's even SLOWED DOWN at all right now is because we're actually starting to pay attention as a nation. KEEP IT UP, America.
The Right Scoop on January 29th, 2010 in Uncategorized | 6 CommentsI am posting this for your entertainment. In fact, it’s awesome. Contessa Brewer assumes that if you’re going to cut the $1.3 trillion dollar budget and be fiscally responsible, that you’ll need to cut funding for major programs like……Education. Her exact question, in question, was this one:
“If you don’t believe that we should have a $1.3 trillion dollar budget, which programs are you willing to cut? Are you willing to willing to tell schools ‘no money for you!’”…
If that’s not a loaded question I don’t know what is. She’s trying to lead him and he doesn’t take the bait. It’s clear that she is intellectually outmatched here and I think his response to hold them accountable is quite appropriate; unlike Crooks and Liars, who believes Gregg owes them an apology.
