[John Heilemann has saluted his next President and Commander-in-Chief: Hillary Clinton.]
Heil Hillary?
Should I be embarrassed that at 47 I have NO IDEA who this person is?
Heilemann thinks Hillary is presidential and a Commander-in-Chief, but Trump and Cruz are “showboating clowns.”
Barf alert to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Never heard of him.
Oh, well certainly nothing coming out of Brookings could possibly be biased and flat out wrong.
Ambassador Chris Stevens disagrees.
Who is Heilemann ? Never heard of him. Thanks
ROFLMAO....libtard news at its finest....
Do they EVEN know how stupid they look, act and talk and sound????
They are insane. This guy, whoever he is, even looks the part.
Is he the guy who makes mayonnaise?
John Heilemann competing to be the top Hillary arse kisser and to snag an interview with her Heinous...
Then send in the clowns.
This guy is in critical need of a brain transplant.
I don’t think he is real smart. I guess he could be smart along with being a liar.
Actually he looks like a real doofus.
Hillary is a Alcoholic-And-Thief.
Hillary is gone. She is a criminal. The clown of all time — a buffoon on huge magnitude and a joke — is that Biden idiot. Bring him up to the plate and Trump will throw him out with 3 strait pitches.
Bloomberg Television’s “With All Due Respect,” hosted by Game Change co-authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, is probably the object of more ridicule from Beltway and Manhattan insiders than any other news show on television. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. The vast majority of the Gang of 500, a term coined by Halperin many moons ago, thinks the show is really bad. Which is a problem, because the Gang of 500 is Halperin and Heilemann’s target audience.
rest of America doesn’t watch the show. Although Ruben Navarette, a San Diego-based columnist, did happen upon Halperin’s interview with Sen. Ted Cruz the other day, and found the experience “uncomfortable”:
I was actually nauseated... As a journalist, I felt embarrassed for Halperin. As a Hispanic, I felt like I was watching a college fraternity have fun with racial stereotypes, like when staging a “border party” where people show up in serapes and fake mustaches. ...
[T]here was nothing respectful about the line of questioning. ... He told Cruz that people are curious about his “identity.” Then, the host asked a series of questions intended to establish his guest’s Hispanic bona fides. What kind of Cuban food did Cruz like to eat growing up? And what sort of Cuban music does Cruz listen to even now?
I’ve known Ted for more than a decade and I could tell he was uncomfortable. But he played along, listing various kinds of Cuban food and saying that his musical taste veers more toward country. ... I kept waiting for Halperin to ask Cruz to play the conga drums like Desi Arnaz while dancing salsa and sipping cafe con leche — all to prove the Republican is really Cuban.
Just when I thought I’d seen the worst, it got even more offensive. Earlier that day, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, had entered the presidential race. So, Halperin said: “I want to give you the opportunity to directly welcome your colleague Sen. Sanders to the race, and I’d like you to do it, if you would, en español.”
WTF is a Heilemann?
