Ana Marie Cox Calls Sidney Blumenthal 'Kind of a Scumbag'

Ana Marie Cox remains a committed liberal, her Christian coming out, as she described it, notwithstanding. Even so, she had a raw truth-telling moment this morning that will not please Hillary fans.

On Steve Kornacki's MSNBC show, Cox declared that close Hillary associate and informal foreign policy adviser Sidney Blumenthal is "kind of a scumbag." A scandalized Kornacki quickly interjected "that's your characterization!" and a guest from the leftist Guardian dismissed the Hillary-Sidney connection as a campaign issue.

Sidney Blumenthal was rejected by Obama’s State Department for ethical reasons... think about that one for a second...

After she has called the Clintons stupid for their continued attention to these so-called non-scandals at the foundation so can’t say I am too surprised at ‘scumbag.’

And the rest of the panel backs off like somebody just farted and then says “but the average person (i.e., the stupid sheep) isn’t too tuned into that (Sid’s scumbagosity) is a problem they can relate to” They won’t be able to ‘respond’ (i.e., vote) against that.

They want a traditional contest of the ages, a Clinton vs. Bush where the names and aging perceptions battle anew, fresh NO considerations about the realizations and discussions that Hillary (IN MY OPINION) is a worn out, unpleasant looking, perhaps-senile, potential-drunkard liar who will blatantly commit any illegal act necessary to get elected.

Didn’t Sid Vicious get picked up for DUI after the New Hampshire primary in ‘08?

They’re going to blame him for all the Benghazi crap that Obama told Hillary to do.

A classic case of It Takes One to Know One.

oh, for sure ... Sid Vicious was a scumbag LONG before New Hampshire ‘08. Perhaps since birth.

“Kind of a Scumbag”

Isn’t that a song from the ‘60s by The Buckinghams?

I wonder if she will also want to hire Sandy Burger/Burler? The curse of these people seems to be the never ending story.

Yeah, when you are $hit, you are all the more cognizant of similar “species.”

You’re probably right. He’ll get thrown under the bus. Or he’s already volunteered to crawl under the bus. You get in bed with the Clintons you’re expected to die for them.
