Do 45%+ of Americans consider this Vancouver born woman to be inspirational and representative of those "leaders" who will rescue them financially?
Some are asking an interesting pair of questions:
Was Jennifer Granholm Drunk? Or just Canadian?
Related: A superb summary of the DNC Convention by Peggy Noonan:
What a fabulously confident and ingenuous-seeming political narcissist Ms. Fluke is. She really does think—and her party apparently thinks—that in a spending crisis with trillions in debt and many in need, in a nation in existential doubt as to its standing and purpose, in a time when parents struggle to buy the good sneakers for the kids so they're not embarrassed at school . . . that in that nation the great issue of the day, and the appropriate focus of our concern, is making other people pay for her birth-control pills. That's not a stand, it's a non sequitur. She is not, as Rush Limbaugh oafishly, bullyingly said, a slut. She is a ninny, a narcissist and a fool. And she was one of the great faces of the party in Charlotte. That is extreme. Childish, too.
h/t John G.
Crazier than a shithouse rat. Her performance was compared to Linda Blair's in The Exorcist. She put Howard Dean to shame.
Ok, I'm fairly certain that that was not the rant of a sober Canadian. Definitely drunk as a skunk.
You have to wonder why she would carry on like this. Certainly she knows that the auto bailout was, and is, a mixed blessing at best, and that her claims about saved jobs is utter hooey.
What could she want badly enough to do this song and dance in return for it?
She missed the mark on trying to sound like an evangelist, but she hit it on sounding like a lunatic.
With the sound off she looks like she should be shouting something about Deutschland uber alles.
Nothing more pathetic than an over-caffeinated middle-aged upper crust harpy playing theatrical politics. The sad thing is this elitist be-atch really believes all this partisan fantasy because the closest she ever got to the auto industry is riding in the taxpayer funded limo that drove her to this elitist soirée so she drinks all the Jonestown punch the party feeds her.
I think this Fem convention was so filled with gaffes and hokum they might as well just hand the reins to Romney now and skip going through the sybilic motions of pretending they have a chance with the voters they are impoverishing with debt, stagflation and a fraud POTUS.
I'd had to stop her ranting.
Funny though. Texas got along just fine without a massive taxpayer bailout.
And she's certainly inflating the effectiveness of the taxpayer-backed auto bailout. Ain't nothing been rescued. Those jobs have been carried over for a short period. GM is on the verge of bankruptcy again. Govt can't even get its investment back.
Why on earth did she mention Ford in reference to the taxpayer bailout? Ford didn't accept a bailout.
The message that Bain capital, or any other company for that matter, made its money stealing from the middle class rather than enriching its employees and investors is nauseating.
Is there a way we can erase the Canadian connection?
They all sounded like they were talking to a senile grandmother who's hard of hearing. O'Reiley moved his show because of all the noise. But this woman should have been a keynote or at least prime time.
Drunk.
[quote]He put it right there next to the pepper shaker and said Look at that! People talk Medicare and Social Security, but, as Mr. Clinton noted, more than half of Medicaid is spent on nursing-home care for seniors and on those with disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism. Will it be cut? [/quote] Peggy Noonan
Clinton needs to define why those folks are on Medicaid which is for the poor..The other way would be if you never worked or Opt'ed not to contribute to SS/MEDicare, or you may have taken a path that provided 30 years of federal disability. When they are 65 the disability ends and they fall into a Welfare SS class without regular "Medicare" They must qualify for Medicaid, which is for the POOR, but the Democrats have loaded the program with the 1960's Marxist free loaders.
The DNC cry that everyone must pay thier share rings hollow to 54% of Americans who live free...
Most of the MSM need to research SS/Medicare such that they understand WHO pre-paid and WHO didn't.
As usual, Ms. Noonan - who voted for the Chimp in Chief last time 'round - is full of shit. Rush was too lenient in his description of Ms. Fluke.
And Sarah Palin is the crazy one??
I wonder...if she stops talking...does her mouth hurt?
The expression on her face caught at the last second as she left the stage tells it all, she was doing her "schtick", a political televangelist.
Take a look at some of the old Dean Martin roasts,and watch the change come over the face of Foster Brooks as he's walking to the podium. He transforms from a quiet guy to a loud drunk about half way to the podium, it's quite interesting to watch, even his walk changes.
When he's doe his act and leaves the podium, he is once again the quiet old entertainer.
Granholm transformed herself for her "act",and that's ALL it was,an act. She's about as sincere as the two dollar hooker who professes "love".
And, if she WAS drunk, she sure as hell was NOT as entertaining as old Foster Brooks.
Yeah well...I recall, back a bit, hauling auto-parts outa Michigan.
This air-head in high heals decided trucks should be limited to 55 mph for safety...but cars could go 70...
It was wild...cars whizzing past doing 80 while Michigan troopers ignored them but were absolutely anal about trucks....truck cruise control had to be set for 53-54 just to be on the safe side.
I recall truckers remarking it was because she came from Canada....I would respond we do have more such fools but we don't usually elect them...but it has happened.
Has Peggy seen the "Sluts vote" buttons at the convention?
Will Sandra Fluke forgo casting a vote so as to not confirm Rush's assertion?
The message isn't that infantile speech. It's the delirious applause.
America, thou art well and truly _______d.
Drunk and botoxed...not that there is anything wrong with that. (I searched her previous 'presentations'...so I'm not making that up)
Why is it that the Dembots cheer for their own filthy rich who bash others for being filthy rich?
Rhetorical question.
That ain't drunk. This is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5Y9X5ggxzA
A drunken cougar that even the horniest of young bucks would take a pass on.
I am pretty sure a naked jello wrestling match between her and Sarah Palin will settle this election.
I wonder what she was drinking or smoking?
She is not drunk, she is just hysterical which is a defining trait of the left. This is exactly why a charismatic leader is so dangerous when exposed to children like her.
Okay fine. Hysterical and drunk.
Congrats on Detroit, BTW, ma'am.
The truly scary part is she was re-elected here in Michigan to a 2nd term. That was with Mich ranked #49 in business-friendly states, 4 years of budget deficits, #2 rank in United Van Lines 'moving out of state' list, #1 or 2 rank in unemployment, etc. And she was running against a successful businessman who was painted by the left as an out-of-touch rich guy. She was the union's best friend. So don't think Obama has no chance. We didn't think she did either ....
Ghranholm is nothing compared to the new leader of Quebec.
Personally, I am outraged - OUTRAGED - that Quebec is using federal dollars to institute a universal gasoline giveaway program.
Unbelievable!

"In 2009 the cavalry came in and Barack Obama saved the American auto industry...."
Surely even those who aren't financial geniuses realize what she's saying. Translation: "We took billions upon billions of dollars from taxpayers, without their consent, and put it directly into the pockets of UAW members."
That sure doesn't sound like "fairness" and "equality" to me. :-(
Pissed to the tits, she was.
IMO, she wasn't drunk. She was trying to give a “barn burner” speech (see Artur Davis from this year's RNC or Zell Miller from the 2004 RNC for examples) to get the base fired up for Obama’s speech. Stupid of her to try, really. I don't think I've ever seen anybody but a born and bred Southerner pull off this type of speech successfully. Come to think of it, being drunk might have helped!
45% of Americans wis they could have orgasms as intense as those of Jennifer Granholm! The other 55% fear it might send them into cardiac arrest!
Was Jennifer Granholm Drunk? Or just Canadian?
Just loony Liberal.
Liberals don’t have borders, they have prescriptions and collectives like all escaped Mental Hospital inmates would.
Meanwhile Barack Obama ended up channeling this guy...
Nothin' wrong with a drunken cougar... gotta tune out the leftoid babble. As an aside, gotta love how bambam saved Detroit, positively a vibrant growing city. /sarc off
Yea Detroit’s a real gem, that's why all Liberals cite it as an inspiration.
The closest thing we have to Detroit is Quebec, they’re working hard on catching up, they need to Separate and coronate Barry O as Emperor for life when he retires his current dictatorship of course.
Found this in a comment at Powerline. It answers my question @ 4:45:
"DNC crowds get so excited over empty rhetoric. You could get up there and talk about Care bears and unicorns and you'd still get a standing ovation."
BTW...she will be fact-checked on those 'jobs saved' numbers, right?
Heard them discussing the was she/wasn't she drunk thing on John Gibson's radio program this aft.Some policeman from Minnesota called in..said he had met this leftwing loon when she came to his station (trolling Union votes)..he told John she was definitely 'in her cups' and that she was NOT a very nice person.Said he had told her,that the police union he belonged to always voted Rep.and she basically turned her back on him.
You distract her while I call the ambulance.
As usual, if you want to see a liberal lose an argument, just let them talk unopposed.
OS
Every commentor above missed the obvious.The name is a leftard whore. And she gives whores a bad name.
She`s a real spark-plug!! Damned cute too! The solution however is not Obama and the Democrats. It`ll come by increasing our productivity and making our own nuts and bolds, screws and washers, wiper blades and rad caps.
She talked about the Wixom Ford plant. I sold Fords for many eyars, that plant was actually a Lincoln auto assembly plant. Read what Wikipedia has to say about Wixom.
" It was announced in August 2009 that the former Ford Wixom plant would be converted to a green energy production plant with an initial investment of $725 million. The potential investment is expected to exceed $1 billion if the project develops. Two separate companies, Xtreme Power and Clairvoyant Energy will redevelop the factory and hire a combined 4,000-plus employees. The two companies plan on occupying half of the factory, with the goal that the other half will be occupied by other alternative energy companies. When the project is completed it will be the largest renewable energy park in the United States.
As of August, 2010 all parties, Xtreme Power, Clairvoyant Energy, Ford and the State of Michigan, are still on board with the Energy Park plan. The energy companies are waiting for the federal government to approve interim loan guarantees to begin construction. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm said, "There's been a great effort to partner with the federal government on investment, but that application process is often very cumbersome," and added "So streamlining that, I think, has got to be the next step for the federal government in continuous improvement." Currently, Ford is working to dismantle the inside of the former automobile factory in preparation for the energy park."
Was the project successful?? She didn`t go there!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wixom_Assembly_Plant
Iggy has it right, the national socialist parties love their Hitler's, and lots of state imposed solutions.
What a relief! Her title is FORMER.... Heaven forbid she is still Governor!
Just read a tweet I think at Iowahawk,that Jen reminded someone of a 'tweeker!'
Now that we have her cased.
If I had Obama as the face of my party, I'd drink, too.
That broad is wasted - tanked or what? Good Hitler imitation! She started out talking about a Ford plant closing. I bet Obama didn't save that one. GM went broke because of bad management and bad unions. It will do it again for the same reasons.
@ Jean Claude at September 7, 2012 5:50 PM
That has to be a joke. It is simply inconceivable as a fact.
She was four years old when her family moved to the United States from BC. Much of her early upbringing and schooling was in California.
This brief tiraden will pass quickly and she can go back to being governor of Michigan.
She's not drunk. She's like an Oprah-slash-Susan Powter-esque saleswoman, on a natural high from her jazzercise class moments before, who's trying to sell a piece of plastic crap to a bunch of idiots. And they're all buying it.
Yes. Truly unsettling. They seem mildly retarded and/or delusional.
I call them "them".
Just got her latest shipment of BC buds, spiked with magic shrooms.
