Pit Bull McCaskill spits on Romney's ear piece
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | October 8, 2008 | Salena Zito

Posted on 10/08/2008 7:36:23 AM PDT by Salena Zito

..."McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

"I spit on this before I put it in," she said to Romney, with a sweet smile."

You know I have seen this behavior before not in politics, but on the soccer field and it usually follows an intense game between heated rivals. As a show of sportsmanship, club and college soccer players are supposed to shake hands with the opposing team after a game in the spirit of good sportsmanship -- unfortunately many times those handshakes contain a little self directed saliva.

Wonder if McCaskill was just showing her inner soccer player?

"I spit on this before I put it in,"

Any confirmation on this? The fact she was talking about an earpiece, I mean.....

Obnoxious little twit, isn’t she?

And to think the ‘Pubbies rolled over and let her steal her seat in the Senate by allowing votes for her dead husband to be counted for her.

I dare say her dead husband was more of a decent man to go spitting on an earpiece.

Claire McCaskill has always struck me as a nasty- rude woman on the lines of the average DU’er. Why is Fox using her so much lately? She looks like your auntie but acts like a Manchester United fan.

You do a disservice to pit bulls comparing them to McCaskill's crude behavior.

Sarah Palin would never be so crass.....it just isn't in her.

Sick.....I like it!

My response to her would have to be “I'd be sure to return the favor of spitting on it before I put it in”; but then again I ain't Romney!

That was Jean Carnaham not Claire McCaskill. McCaskill won her seat the old fashioned dem way by lying about an issue (stem cell research) and using a celebrity, Michael j. Fox to demonize the opposition and to get the sheeple to believe the republicans want anyone with a disease to die becasue they wont allow “proven cures from stem cells”

Everytime I see her, with that smirk on her face I think of the Cheshire Cat if Allice in Wonderland. Can’t believe the people of MO elected her over Talley. Must have been St Louis fraud votes.

What an embarrassment to the great state of Missouri. She shamefully lied about Jim Talent and has no class whatsoever.

These people are EVIL and HATRED personified.

There is NOTHING good in them.

Talent was not tainted by scandal in any way. He did his job well and got thrown out just because enough morons were mad at Bush. So MO gets this slob of a senator as a result.

Romney should have gone on TV live and said the DEMOCRAT senator from MO just told me she spat on my earpiece. What great class our opponents have!

Ummmm as I read this she “spit on this before I put it in”........ that indicates ya may want a new one as I wet this to stick in my ear during my interview ?

Not to defend a socialist twit .....just “reading” her words written here and at the link ?!?!??

We do that with radio earpieces all the time so they stick better. Common practice but not usually discussed . But then we keep our earpieces and don’t loan or borrow etc ......

I think it’t a non event. She told Mitt she did it ....if it was meant as anything else she would have let him put it in and THEN told him. Yes / No ?

My 2 Cents..

I believe you are thinking of Carnahan who died in a plane crash. McCaskill’s dead husband was murdered—he was a pot smoking used car dealer. I also believe he was her ex by the time he was murdered.

Look, I am the LAST one to defend actions of liberals. That said, you should understand a thing about today’s small, “in-ear” earpieces. They usually do require some kind of lubrication (saliva works well) to get in the ear. What surprises me is that they would have different people using the same earpiece without a sterile wipe in between. She may have been giving him such a warning. I sure wouldn’t want any of her spit or ear jam in my head!
