Norah Needles North Koreans For 'Going Limp After 30 Seconds'

Ouch! Norah O'Donnell knows how to get a guy where it hurts. And Kim Jong Il might be feeling 'ronrier' than ever.

On this evening's Hardball, Norah, guest-hosting for Chris Matthews, discussed the failed North Korean missile tests with three separate panels. In each case, she used the same metaphor to describe the failure:

To her first panel, composed of congressmen Dan Burton [R-IN] and Bill Pascrell [D-NJ], Norah noted:

"We saw the Taepodong missile essentially exploded and went limp into the sea of Japan after 45 seconds."

Next, with guests Michael Scheuer and Tyler Drumheller - both former CIA officials - she mentioned:

"We realized after 30 seconds, this missile went limp." [Yikes - performance down from 45 to only 30 seconds.]

Finally, with former RNC Chairman/VA Governor Jim Gilmore [a steadfast fellow, I might mention] and Dem strategist Hillary Rosen, O'Donnell observed

"The long range missile essentially failed and went limp after 30 seconds."

On a day when Viagra was again in the news, you have to figure Norah selected her simile with malice aforethought.

Either that or that Black & Decker spray-on makeup just isn't working.

I agree with your initial point though, it's a shame she's a Kool-Aid drinking liberal. No fun dating someone you'd spend all night arguing with.

I'd get her a Wagner Power Brush, but she's probably against guns.

"Soju, a clear alcohol is an acquired taste and is the national Korean drink."

Not really an acquired taste, it closely resembles and ordinary grain alcohol. Mixes well with other things such as orange juice and such.

It is much like everclear but not usually as strong. Depends on source.

I'm sure she was thinking of all the other leftie guys who have disappointed her with "erectile dysfunction"....... her real peeve with this "projectile dysfunction" is that it's such a disappointing story to report - not nearly as exciting as one in which the DING DONG-2 made it out into the middle of the North Pacific......... all these leftist men who leave Nora frustrated and wanting more.........

"We saw the Taepodong missile essentially exploded and went limp into the sea of Japan after 45 seconds."

Is "taepo" Korean for "limp"?

Norah Needles North Koreans For 'Going Limp After 30 Seconds'

Should this headline have read "Norah Pricks North Koreans For Going Limp..." ?

It's gettin' to the point where we're gonna need a scorecard. I think I got this right:

Mary McCarthy is the "snitch bitch."
Jane Fonda is the "witch bitch."
Cindy Sheehan is the "ditch witch."

Are you sure that's right - or was there a witch glitch?
