Race? RACE???? Great screaming FSM, Cokie Roberts is supposed to be a senior political analyst. How can she look at the priarmies and not see that Obama has registered hordes of new voters, raked in a ton of cash, has a message that is consistent with Democratic values, and has proven himself electable in election after election after election? The Democrats would nominate a Martian if he'd done all that.

You have to see Cokie sit down in an hour-long discussion without talking points.  Her appearance on Bill Maher's show was revealing.  She's really just not that bright.

They are a nasty, noxious couple, that's for damn sure. They've been at this particular brand of bullshit since the affirmative action debates in the 90s.

And her ridiculous comment:

I had the opportunity to interview Billie Jean King this week. And she said, you know, I feel like everything I worked for all my life is going out the window. And there is that sense. I mean, here is this woman who's worked hard, she's done it all the way you're supposed to do it, and then this cute young man comes in and says a bunch of sweet, you know, nothings, and pushes you out of the way. And a lot of women are looking at that and saying, there goes my life.

is just so appallingly stupid and astonishingly asinine as to be painful.

No, dearie, here's your life:

Born Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs[2], Roberts graduated from the Stone Ridge School outside Washington, D.C. in 1960[3] and then Wellesley College in 1964[4] where she received a BA in Political Science. She is the daughter of former Ambassador and Representative Lindy Boggs and Hale Boggs, a long-time Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who was Majority Leader until his presumed death in 1972 after the aircraft he was flying in disappeared without a trace over Alaska. Her sister, the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and a candidate for U.S. Senate from New Jersey. Her brother Tommy Boggs is a Washington, D.C. attorney and lobbyist. She has been married to Steven V. Roberts since 1966, and they reside in Bethesda, Maryland. She and her husband have two children, and six grandchildren. Her daughter, Rebecca Roberts, also serves as an NPR correspondent and sometimes hosts Talk of the Nation and Weekend America.

She and my mother are the same age. She can't hold half a candle to her in terms of "hard work."

She can take her "analysis" and stuff it at her next cocktail party. But she should remember to have lots of Black serving staff there, so she can feel more at comfortable.

Presumptuous is the new uppity.
