My transcript of Ellen Ratner's comment on Your World

December 28, 2002

I taped Ellen RATner's predictions to Brenda Buttner as she filled in on Your World with Neil Cavuto. Here is my transcript of her comments:

BB: You basically saying that he's going to be reelected, I mean essentially unless the economy tanks...

ER: That is unless he messes up the war....my hope.

BB: Your hope?!

ER: Well, I don't want him to be reelected.

BB: Right, but I mean, 'mess up the war,' what do you mean by that?

ER: Do something that will make Americans say 'Maybe we shouldn't have done this.' You know, that kind of thing.

Bouquets to Brenda for jumping on her statement and not letting it slide.

Of all the annoying liberals on TV, I find Ratner the worst. She is an entirely predictable, talking-points spouting nincompoop.

I note from a post above that she is a "graduate" of Harvard. Not that graduation from Harvard is proof of much, but somehow I am dubious about this. I would be very curious to know just what kind of degree she holds.

I have a sneaky feeling that she participated in some kind of special series at Harvard, not a true graduate degree program.

A Google search indicates Ratner has a Masters of Education from Harvard.

Good evening, my friend,

If this Thursday morning is like the previous two Thursdays, I will be on the air live with Ellen Ratner at 6:25 a.m. Eastern, on "American Breakfast." I will be there for sure. If Ellen shows up, electronically, I will challenge her on whether she should resign or be fired from Fox News.

If I get to go head to head with her, I will report back here as part of a thread to get the word out on Ratner.

I think I had only heard of Ellen Ratner a few times, in passing, on Rush's program. It really wasn't until this, and mention of something else she said, being told on FR that I really heard anything that she has said.

She thinks you and everyone should care what she says. When Brenda Buttner stated that Bush I won the Gulf War, Ratner replied "I was against that war too." As if her opinion is the ultimate authority!

[Paul Atreides]

That will be great! I can't wait to hear how it goes.

This only shows the truth of the statement made by Wayne LaPeire of the NRA, when he said that the (Clinton) administration was willing to allow higher crime rates and victimization in order to accomplish their political goals. This just shows the thinking of a DEMONRat. "Well, if lots of soldiers die, then the country will get upset with the President... Besides, the military usually doesn't vote our way, anyhow..."

Moral bankruptcy doesn't even begin to cover what this is...

School of Education... Lowest SATs and highest GPAs... Rober Heinlein had some pretty mean words to say about schools of education, in fact, one of his characters had a PHd in education, and his doctoral thesis was on "nothing." Zeb Carter from "Number of the Beast." However, Dr Walter Williams also has a few choice words to say about so called schools od education, as does Thomas Sowell.

It reminds me of the time Donna Shalala stated that those who fought in Vietnam were not the best and the brightest.
