Bill Press Calls Rep. Michele Bachmann A ‘Laughingstock’ on CNN’s Reliable Sources

video
» 77 comments

On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, liberal radio host Bill Press didn’t mince words in discussing Rep. Michele Bachmann‘s (R-MN) presidential aspirations, calling her a “laughingstock.”

Host Howard Kurtz, and panel, wondered if Bachmann’s command of an Iowa audience cut against that notion, and whether sexism is to blame for the gulf in media interest between Bachmann and fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), a notion which Press handily dismissed.

Kurtz began the segment by asking why Bachmann’s announcement of a possible announcement got “fifty times” the media attention of Tim Pawlenty’s actual announcement, to which Press replied “The media really wants her to become a candidate because she’s such a laughingstock. I think it’s a dumbing-down of American politics.”

Kurtz, though, rebutted Press, saying “You call her a laughingstock, here’s Michele Bachmann on the front page of the New York Times this morning, she apparently blew the room away at one of these Republican cattle-call events in Iowa.”

Based on Kurtz’s standard, of course, you could as easily make the case that Gallagher is a serious presidential contender. Having said that, Bachmann’s ability to rouse the rabble will loom large in the Republican primaries, should she decide to run. As panelist Jennifer Rubin (of WaPo’s Right Turn blog) pointed out, Bachmann’s attack-dog style could throw a big monkey wrench into the hopes of several current GOP favorites.

Former Fox News contributor Jane Hall said she felt it was “sexism to focus so much on (bachmann) as opposed to Tim Pawlenty,” which is a bit like saying it’s sexism to pay more attention to a fireworks display than a can of Sterno. While Bachmann has endured, and will continue to endure, forms of sexism, such as gender-based insults like “bimbo,” chalking up the Bachmann/Pawlenty media gap to sexism robs Bachmann of credit that she has rightfully earned. For that matter, it also dismisses the hard work Pawlenty has put in to make himself the Human Yawn.

Whether you support Michele Bachmann or not, Press’ central premise is absolutely right, her inclusion in the race amps up the media spectacle exponentially. It’s also a win-win for Bachmann, who stands to lose little as a Republican running from the House, but who also stands to reap the benefits of the red meat with which she will engorge the conservative base.

Less clear is her effect on the Republicans’ chances at defeating Barack Obama. Her presence in the race will no doubt amp up the other candidates’ appeals to the Tea Party and Birther crowds, which could turn off general election voters, but which could also result in an energized base that wins the turnout battle, much as it did in the midterms.

Here’s the clip, from CNN:

    One of these days when I have time I will dig up the tape of my confrontation with Bill Press on the Ronn Owens Show in San Francisco. I exposed him as a shill for the Sandinista’s in Nicaragua. His head exploded. He went crazy. The guy is another communist hiding behind the Democrat label. I also confronted him on a television show in San Francisco about gun control. He is a left-wing loon.

    Interesting, very interesting.
    What did Andy Rooney have to say?

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Since they are totally incapable of handling a rational discussion of any issue, the lunatic-left always resort to childish name calling, slurs and slime throwing. Like the runaway d-crat socialists of the wisconsin legislature, these mental midgets can’t really function in any environment they don’t dictatorially control. For these people, the question: “Are You Smarter than a Five Year Old” has an obvious answer.

  • tatboy

    Is Press engaging in “toxic talk”?

  • Lou Sarah

    Hey Bill Press…. STFU….. if the GOP wants to double- down on the crazy in 2012, let’s get out of the way and let them implode. No need to remind the few remaining rational members of the party just how crazy the crazy really is!

    You do have a good argument.

  • Michael_T

    Just as a black candidate for POTUS garnered unprecedented media attention, I think the relative newness and uniqueness of high profile spirited female politic has created what some might suggest is a disproportionate amount of attention. Whether you think this is good or bad is up to you.

    When compared to stuffy old white male politicians I just think many people find the words of feisty women pols more interesting – even more entertaining and newsworthy.

    There’s a certain lingering freshness and candor that these women seem to convey that serves them well … and it all began (for the most part) in 2008.

    Hillary and Palin grabbed the headlines in 2008 (and beyond). But in the last two years many have joined their ranks including Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, Sharron Angle, Chistine O’Donnell, Nikki Haley and Jan Brewer.

    My point is not intended to be either subtle or indisputable. It is simply my opinion that when it comes to quotes, sound bites and campaign appearances women like Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are not only more outrageous with their comments but also a refreshing change from the comparative monotonous sameness coming from their male counterparts.

    The sooner you creepy far right wing goofballs catch on, the better for you – but personally I hope you keep pushing Bachmann… she has ZERO chance. She’s far too extreme (like most of the “conservatives” on this site) to appeal to all but 5% of the population. She’s a dingbat… but keep pushing her… it’s good for me!

    Do you mean back when you were shilling for Ollie North and the Contras? Selling that one Maule-60, over and over, to every right wing ninnie with $60K to donate? Smuggling cocaine through Noriega in Panama to pay for what you couldn’t fund by selling arms to Saddam?

    Although I’ve been highly critical of Tommy Christopher in the past, and will no doubt be critical of his writings in the future, this particular article seems to be a well-written account of a controversial subject.

    Of course I say this because Michelle Bachman comes off looking good and Bill Press just looks like a total fool. But that’s the way it happens and Tommy didn’t try to twist it the other way.

    Good job, man.

    Amen to that! Of course,you don’t have to be a liberal to recognize the fact that Michele Bachmann is a laughingstock. She all her inbred, nut sucking, tebagging fringer cousins from the GOP are all a laughing stock and represent the face of stupidity in this nation. And most of those poor stupid people in Iowa who were subjected to her lies and half truths during her speeches are living proof that the Republican Party is composed mostly of idiots who mix twisted political ideologies with twisted religious ideologies. You know the type….mindless sheep who love being told to think by manipulative charlatans as well as Fox News.

    Tommy-boy doesn’t mind displaying his moronic bias in the lede. “Didn’t mince words” is a euphemism for being a classless oaf, which is Press’s [and Christopher's] default mode. And to reply “handily” to Kurtz could only happen with the imbecile Press if he reached down to service himself as Bill Maher claims to do to calm his nerves before a big broadcast.

    Hmmm? Dollhouse University and Queen Elizabeth High School, I can see how you lack the education to understand the comments here. You should keep your comments to something you know about. How about the fishing Halifax?

    Maybe this video will help you out. I was there and you were not. You just continue to believe lies.
    It is a 5 minute video and the parts you need to hear are 2 minutes into it.

    Gordo-If your ego got any bigger, you wouldn’t be able to get out of your rubber room.
    Citing yourself as an authority to bolster your argument? REALLY?
    Truth to tell, was this just a ploy to get a hit on your website?
    Saying it twice don’t make it so. Nor does saying it on TV.
    And comparing civil disobedience with treason is despicable.
    North stayed out of jail because publicity-hungry congressmen gave him immunity.
    Not because he was innocent.

    OK morons, listen up!

    GBR (whom the family lovingly refers to as “Goober-Brained Retard) put our son, BOMBSHELL JR. on a bus to Thule, Greenland. He told our boy there would be a kitten waiting for him when he got to Greenland, and you know how our son is ALWAYS asking everyone he meets to buy him a kitten.

    Well, the kid is sort of dimwitted just like his ol’ man, and so I’m stepping in until we get him back to provide moral support for my ol’ man, and you’d danged well better NOT mess with me! Just know that I am GBR’s ol’ lady, and give me the respect I demand.

    Hey, Bill Press, how would you like to have some of my breastmilk?

    I did a little survey at the local coffee shop and out of 12 occupants, only one person gave a hoot what bill press said. She then asked, “Who is bill press”?

    The ONLY reason Michele Bachmann is so popular DESPITE her consistent errors, gaffes and blunders is because Joe Middle America thinks she is attractive…PERIOD. A prime example is this video.
    TEA PARTY IDOL.
    Finally accepting the fact that they make mistakes and aren’t perfect, the Tea Party is attempting to appeal to the American Idol demographic with a music video.
    The Michele Bachmann Trio sings “We know we weren’t perfect” from her album Conservative as I wanna be on the newly formed Tea Party Records label.

    Even though this is a parody poking fun at Michele Bachman I bet there are those that will think it is a really promo video despite the historically inaccurate babble Comments on similar videos usually include remarks about how hot she is or how sexy her voice is. She can make the most ridiculous statement and the Tea Party drones will just keep fawning over her regardless of the fact that in doing so they are voting against their own interests.
