Marcia Blackburn just filibustered Chuck Todd.

On MSNBC - Chuck asked Marcia why she voted against the Violence Ag Women Act. She answered "because it wasn't the same as the House bill - the Senate made changes." He pressed her for specifics about what part she disagreed with. She knew where this was going and she rambled on non-stop and on for 4 minutes so Chuck couldn't come back with "was it because it included GAY women?" But sweet lil ol Marcia didn't give him a chance.

I'm sick of MSNBC giving her air time. I changed the channel as soon as she came on.

Glib, vapid and shallow is more like it. She is a camera- ready wind-up doll who stays on message because that is all she is programmed to do.

She is my representative. We are so gerrymandered in this district that goes from west Nashville to western Tennessee.

It's her MO. If she gets a question she doesn't want to give a straight answer to she'll just drone on and on about nothing until her segment time is over.
