Sippy Cupp: Romney got a mandate, too...

[regnaD kciN]

...because some people voted for him.

[montanacowboy]

1. OMG

please someone shut this twit up

[onehandle]

2. A mandate to continue to get richer due to President Obama's success.

Nothing more.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

3. Last time I checked....

President Obama got 332 electoral votes and a couple million more votes than Romney

[Skittles]

5. Popular vote 62,614,197 to 59,141,316

YEE HAW!

[bullwinkle428]

4. If a giant hook did not suddenly appear and pull her off-camera, then MSNBC has

lost some points on credibility.

[Skittles]

10. I'm out of the loop

who is Ms. Cupp?

[AsahinaKimi]

19. American conservative political commentator and writer (on msnbc)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._E._Cupp

I saw her on Bill Maher, and he tore her up!

[hifiguy]

31. She was beaten (rhetorically) like the proverbial

rented mule by Bill and the panel, especially Andrew Sullivan, IIRC. You'd think a public smackdown like that would lead one to wise up or shut up.

[GeorgeGist]

41. With absolutely no credentials ...

[libodem]

20. The right wings' answer to Rachel

I think. She plays smart on tv with the big glasses. But she's a book of memorized GOP talking points, no original ideas or thoughts. Creepy.

[Skittles]

29. I don't have cable but I'll check out online clips

as far as the whackjob's "answer to Rachel" -

[SoapLovah]

6. Yes. His mandate was to go home and disappear. I can't stand her. I can't watch The Cycle because

Of her.

[struggle4progress]

15. +

[wryter2000]

55. My thoughts exactly

Welcome to DU

[politicasista]

7. Don't care for her or the show

especially that Kornacki dude, since he hates on Democrats (i.e.Kerry) he doesn't like.

[StrayKat]

8. I wish they'd cancel . . .

the whole show. It's not just Sippy Cupp it's all of them.

[brush]

16. I agree

Cancel it and give Joy Reid a show. She's been great as a guest pundit on all of MSNBC's shows during the run up to the election.

[StrayKat]

24. Love it.

Joy always has something intelligent to say, and has a good on-air persona.

[politicasista]

25. She would be great n/t

[Indpndnt]

46. Joy Reid is the best on MSNBC, imo. Smart, articulate, and doesn't talk over others.

Honestly, Tweety is unwatchable to me. And as much as I like Martin Bashir, when he interrupts a guest who is making very good points with one of his deliberately incredulous comments, I want to throttle him. But he's still better than Tweety.

I'd like to see more of Chris Hayes, too. He's very interesting.

[BeyondGeography]

9. True

He got a mandate not to be Obama. Other than that, not really clear what he stood for.

[Canuckistanian]

11. A mandate to Palookaville

That's what he has.

[GoCubsGo]

12. OMG. The stupid.

It burns.

[TxBluebonnetDem]

13. She grates on my nerves so badly....

I'd rather listen to Elizabeth Hasselbeck than SE Cupp...And that's a horrific thought. At least EH has some a bit of a clue and she does have a real core--you know who she is. I don't agree with her, but I know who she is. Cupp...geeze I can never get passed the feeling that she's simply playing a part, something akin to Colbert. Cupp makes my nerves raw and my head hurt, too much ignorant arrogance in one place!!!

[Please proceed]

14. I think she's pretty smart.

I mean she wears big glasses, just like a college professor. Of course if there was one of those thought bubbles over her head so we could see what she's thinking, I'm afraid it would be empty.

[dchill]

33. Her idea bulb...

Is burned out!

[JustAnotherGen]

34. Welcome to DU!

[Warren Stupidity]

54. !

[TwilightGardener]

17. I'm sure that mandate carries a lot of weight among the

faithful citizens of Loserville.

[MFM008]

18. He has a mandate to get out of our faces

and fade into obscurity, unlike McCain who is still screaming at the Prez to Get off his Lawn.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. That's it - no mandate unless Obama got 99.999% of the vote

She articulated the Republican position well.

[Marr]

22. We all have mandates! YAYYYY!!!

Ugh.

[CatWoman]

23. yeah

to get the fuck out of our faces

[lpbk2713]

26. "Stick with corporate raiding ...

... because you truly suck at politics."

[unblock]

27. YOU get a mandate! and YOU get a mandate! EVERYBODY gets a mandate!

[wryter2000]

56. OMG, funniest thing I've read in an age

[unblock]

28. i'm sure she also believes kerry and gore and dole all got mandates, too....

[hifiguy]

30. This woman is so painfully stupid and clueless

that the box of hammers called to deny that it is anywhere near as dumb as Sippy. Jebus wept. How can anyone this fking stupid dress themselves each morning.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

32. I swear to God, when is a fucking giant anvil going to drop on her already?

Someone this stupid has somehow managed to avoid a stray plastic bag suffocating her or accidentally jamming a metal utensil into a wall outlet for 25 plus years? Seems impossible....

[hifiguy]

40. Where the hell is Tex Avery when

you really need him?

The real fun starts around 2:55. First anvil drop is at 6:00. Extra nerd trivia - Avery himself voices the bulldog in this classic.

[Whisp]

35. o sweet jesus.

what a moron.

I had that Cycle show on for a few minutes this afternoon and couldn't stomach ALL OF THEM so *click.

really? really? really? really?

yes, really. They all sound like cackling idiots. and especially that Cupp thing.

[AlinPA]

45. The people on that progarm are immature airheads. What a joke.

[MjolnirTime]

36. a mandate to get lost!

[Ikonoklast]

37. Sarah Palin has competition.

Sippy is a 40 watter, on a good day.

Amazing how some of these people get hired, simply amazing.

[libdem4life]

38. Don't watch the show, but she is not as hard on the eyes as Coulter. Is she more RW?

[BlueMan Votes]

39. he got a mandate to just go away...

and not come back.

[eShirl]

42. I'm surprised she remembers to keep breathing.

[KamaAina]

43. Some people voted for Roseanne, too

[Ken Burch]

49. They were afraid if they didn't, she'd hit them.

n/t.

[KamaAina]

53. Or worse.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

44. A mandate to Get The Fuck Out.

Obama, Romney Remain About Equally Powerful

WASHINGTON—Having won another four years in the White House, President Barack Obama will retain about the same amount of power as American multimillionaire Mitt Romney, leading political scientists confirmed today. “Thanks to his reelection, Obama has managed to stay on equal footing with Romney in terms of overall clout,” Northwestern University professor Julia C. Perlman said. “Obama remains commander in chief of the most powerful military in history, while Romney, whose income places him among the richest 0.01 percent of Americans, will have far more control over the world’s largest economy. And though Obama still holds veto power, Romney’s massive wealth ultimately makes it much easier for him to push legislation through Congress in the first place. So they have roughly the same amount of influence.” Perlman added that while presidents must work tirelessly to forge coalitions and advance their agendas, Romney can simply become CEO of a Fortune 500 company and make thousands of people do everything he says.

[madinmaryland]

47. The only mandate he got is to just go the hell away.

[Ken Burch]

48. OK, then, George McGovern got a mandate in '72

I distinctly remember SOME people voting for him, as well.

And Gus Hall even got a couple of mandates, if you look at it that way.

[Ken Burch]

50. I thought Romney was afraid that man dates

would lead to same-sex marriage.

[gollygee]

51. He needs a dictionary

The only mandate he got is to stay the hell out of politics. Particularly from the state where he used to be governor.

[spanone]

52. ouch...
