With the clock ticking on her final term in office, Rep. Lynn Woolsey visited Point Reyes Station Thursday night and shared some frank opinions on Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, the Tea Party, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, President Obama and the Occupy movement.

Press asked Woolsey for her assessment of Newt Gingrich, since they served together in Congress.

Woolsey said, "He's got a brain but he overreaches; he's too big for his own good. He would be the worst president on earth."

Press asked Woolsey if that meant she would prefer a President Michele Bachmann.

"Probably, because — well she's an idiot," Woolsey said. "It's not very politic to say that of another member of Congress, but she is. But he's worse because he (Gingrich) knows what he's doing."

When the subject of global warming came up, Woolsey said nothing is going to be done about the problem as long as the Congress is dominated by Tea Party Republicans.

"Half of them have never held an elected office in their lives; they don't know nothing," Woolsey said. "They don't know why they're against what they're against. They don't know what is happening to our environment. All they know is it's not something they're supposed to support."

She looks like she could be the daughter of Madelyn Murray O’hare.

Rep. Lynn Woolsey:
Anyone who makes herself look like Edith Bunker’s cousin Maude should not be taken seriously.

So she was Congress's first "welfare mother".

I wonder what her net worth is now.

Lots of rats leaving their sinking ship. Good ridance

Woolsey is an incompetent moron who should be in jail.

"they don't know nothing"

Hey Lynn, I'll bet most of them know basic English. Like the fact that it's very poor grammer to use double negatives in speech or writing. I'll bet many of them know that by using a double negative you are actually saying they know something. You're the idiot Lynn...

"...they don't know nothing," Woolsey said.

Some of them probably know what a double negative is,Lynn....

I was unfortunate enough to be living in the People’s Republic of Berkeley when this nitwit was first elected, 1992, “The Year of the Liberal Woman.” I have seldom seen a more ignorant, uninformed, hard line ideologue than this fool. The term “weapons grade stupid” comes to mind.

“they don’t know nothing”

The only truthful thing she said...double negative means they DO know SOMETHING!

P.S. Where’s the barf alert???

“Barack Obama is who I thought he was,” Woolsey said. “He’s a moderate president. He’s not a progressive. He really believed he was the president who was going to be able to reach over to the right and bring people together. Every time he reached, they moved farther. He was not going to reach to the left because he’s not a lefty, period. He is kind of a cold, aloof guy.”

What a crock! I suppose she did get the cold aloof part right though. If Obama ain’t a lefty my only question is what in blazes does it take to make someone a lefty?

One young redneck who was on my payroll over twenty years ago would say that she had to go to STUPID school because you have to LEARN to be that stupid, you can’t do it naturally.

Woolsey also wrote a letter of reference in 2004 for the rapist of a 17 year old Terra Linda, CA girl, because the rapist’s mother was once part of her staff. I could go on about this loon who used to be my Congresswoman.
