Amen. It really is quite striking to see such a pathetically patronizing attitude served up this late in the game from one of the premiere serious people on the circuit. Is she as clueless as Debbie Howell? What the hell kind of ivory tower does she live in?

Cokie, Juan, Mara and the rest of the NPR crowd of “objective” psychophantic boot lickers really owe us all big time for turning “Public” broadcasting into propaganda akin to that presented on Fox & Friends, albeit served up with an insufferably pretentious air of superiority and condescension. If I’m going to be lied to about the war, then I’ll take my fibs from an entertaining idiot like O’Reilly or Mike Wallace any day of the week, not a pretend journalist like Cokie Roberts.

NPR got their last dollar from me back in ‘01; since then I’ve seen no reason to support — or listen much to — their programming.

Yep, Americans love winners. So why Cokie and her buds think Americans would like anything to do with Iraq, the classic “no-win” situation, I have no idea.

Cokie spends her time away from pontificating eating canapés with the best people inside the Beltway. This is what allows her to intuit what the average American thinks about issues.

I’m stealing “psychophantic”. Really captures exactly what’s wrong with our pathologically servile press.

I was disgusted by her recent condescending performance on Meet the Press. I could hear her snickering while Katrina V was speaking. Snarky “I’m just a little bit superior, Church Lady Bitch”.
I just wanted to smack her.

She is so obnoxious. Lots of attitude, short on common sense. Comes from a family of crooked pols, so I guess she’s been cynical since birth.

Am I the only one that wonders how she got the nickname “Cokie”???

I mean c’mon, you’ve gotta be hitting the weasel dust pretty damn hard to earn that moniker in D.C..

I hadn’t realized Cokie, nee Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs, would have been about 15 years old when her father, Hale Boggs, signed the Southern Manifesto in 1956… some little ol’ thing about being forced by the Supreme Court to integrate with their negroes.

What I love about Cokie (aside from her putting all her asinine partisan rubbish down to the superior morality she has As A Mother:

She was really very snippy about Katrina. Couldn’t imagine why anyone would think that the government could have done more than it did.

A great many of those people (hey, some of them had mothers) who were dehydrating in their own waste were doing it in buildings named after her mother.

Cokie is just one more example that money and connections can’t buy class.

The horror…the horror…

Cokie Roberts will be a guest on The Daily Show tomorrow but I think Jon Stewart is too much the gentleman to bring up last Sunday’s performance. However, I can always hope it will be a replay of the Chris Matthews interview. He might even bring up her uber-lobbyist brother, Tommy Boggs.

I was thrilled when my local NPR station changed their newsfeed to BBC and totally ditched NPR. I used to think NPR was the last hope of fair political reporting in the US but the borg has absorbed them too, only with a huge serving of snobby pretentiousness as a tasty side dish.
