1. That woman is an idiot

That she's an elected member of our government is staggering.

[antigop]

2. incredible, isn't it? nt

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Reminds me of Palin and Bachmann

Seems to be a certain GOP archetype.

Apalling.

3. What the hell is a "for-gring" company?

I am amazed whenever I hear her speak... Who exactly supplies her talking points? She's got folks working overtime behind the scenes just to operate her mouth.

4. Wendell should have said, "We DO have a public option in this country -- for people 65 and older" nt

[Thinkingabout]

6. Do you think she would have cut him off from answering, yep. you are right on the public option

Here. Is the chairman of this committee repub, the chairman was not going to stop her from cutting him off.

7. This "representative"

is right off the Hee Haw set.

[blackspade]

8. more like a reject from Hee Haw.

Shame on the people who vote for her.

13. She did her job well! Got most of the talking points into the record..........

Got to wonder what she gets paid?
Got to wonder who's paying her?
Got to wonder who she represents; and it sure and hell isn't the people who voted for her.

Nice work if ya can get it.

14. She is my rep...

She is an idiot. I got tired of sending her e-mails in response to insane newsletters she sends me. How can our government function with air-heads like this?

[liberalmike27]

15. Same in Alabama

I envision them reading the emails and having a good laugh. "Ha, ha, ha, this guy is saying he wants me to do the right thing, hilarious!!"

I'll bet she was a cheerleader in high school. And it doesn't surprise me she'd try to keep Potter from talking, as he's perhaps the most informed guy, who actually worked in the industry, that I suspect contributes to her campaign.

16. Is she an idiot, or is she well paid....

I find it hard to believe that people holding public office, or any position for that matter, can be 'fools' and still survive.
So many things our 'representatives' do these days make no common sense, ignore the will of the people and are just so counterproductive to the common good, that I cannot believe they don't draw considerable income from those that would benefit.
