Ok. Maybe trigger happy would be a better term.

But there was’t really sufficient reason for her to get on her high horse.
It looked like a show. Not genuine righteous anger. Amatuer.

I heard her on Hannity earlier in the week and thought she was great.
But this made her critics on our side look like they have a point.

This is attack journalism and it is reserved for people that their they dislike. These professionals are basically hecklers asking loaded questions with no interest in a balanced interview.

However, she is not of the calibre for a national figure.

I don't know about that...IMO, she's of the same calibre of the "Mom in Tennis Shoes". ;^)

Or listening to the answer. This is Clown Journalism 101, these sup par intellects are so busy posturing for their fellow Journ-o-list blow hards they cannot see how childish and absurd their behavior is to watch.

“However, she is not of the calibre for a national figure.”

How was she trying to be a “national figure”? She was only trying to be the senatorial representative of a 3-county state whose ex-senator rode the train to Washington. That’s somewhat like being elected to City Council where I come from. Due to the historical accident of Delaware being one of the original 13 colnies, these locals get 2 senators, but in a provincial sense, and in a big-media age, does it really mean she would have been a “national figure”.

She should have embarrassed him and good about his obsession with sex. She did try but it wasn’t strong enough. She is a good person but sorry, she isn’t ready for the big time.

Christine O’Donnell didn’t know how to handle hostile media when she ran for the senate last year and apparently she hasn’t learned all that much, since. Miss O’Donnell should watch old clips of Ronald Reagan fielding tough questions from a hostile press corp or, perhaps more relevant, watch Sarah Palin as she has matured in her handling of hostile questions from the MSM. If you’re a conservative politician, when the media shows up, you’re always going to be in ‘enemy territory’. You have to know how to deal with it or be quickly eviscerated by the always-antagonistic media. Most politicians figure it out. A few don’t e.g. Richard Nixon, but those are the exception. Sarah Palin was subtly skewered by Katie Couric in one of Palin’s first network TV interviews - but that was 3 long years ago. She’s learned. Christine O’Donnell still needs to. One free tip: during a hostile interview, when possible and if not inappropriate, use humor as a deflection. You’re welcome.

Heard the audio first then saw the video.

She was so over the top dramatic it was kind of silly. Morgan is a d*ck but he was asking reasonable questions. Lightweight questions. Either she is a loon or her and her people intended on walking out before they got there.

What happened made no sense because she was being done a favor because her book was being promoted. The reason she was there was to sell books. Heck, Morgan even said he liked the book. After seeing her I would not buy anything she was selling. Strange gal...

“But there was’t really sufficient reason for her to get on her high horse.”

We can agree to disagree on this one. But when that Pervy Piers Morgan tried to take the interview where he did, I wanted to get on my high horse and horsewhip the guy, because that showed contempt for both his guest and his American audience. Are we supposed to pretend we don’t know when we are being ridiculed?

You act as if Piers asked the masturbation question without pretense.

She was very outspoken about the issue at one time. I don’t think it was an unfair question. She should have just answered it instead of being defensive.

Just think, had the republicans actually supported her Obamacare would never have passed.

Hate to correct you, but Obamacare had already passed by the time Christine ran in 2010.

Uh, you were agreeing with barstool that she appeared “gunshy” by walking out by saying walking out wasn’t strong, remember? I’m saying walking out on Pervy Piers was stronger than putting up with his disrespect.

Agreed. She should have just answered the question. I’m so sick of so called conservatives wimping out when it comes to criticizing homosexuality.

How was she trying to be a “national figure”?

She was obviously vaunted into the national spotlight day after day and now she's trying to get her book to receive national publicity.

I understand she was trying to be elected for DE and I backed her for the seat against her opponent. But now some may mistake her for some kind of national spokesperson; she doesn't have the calibre for that IMO.

I guess the real question is if she can’t deal with a broke dick like Piers Morgan and walks out how well would she deal with Valamir Putin or one of those muzzie boys?
