Testy, Combative Anthony Weiner Simply Cannot Shake Steely Cool of Fox’s Megyn Kelly

» 175 comments

It seems you just can’t shake the cool from Fox’s Megyn Kelly. We know, because on America Live today, Rep. Anthony Weiner gave it his best shot.

In a eleven minute segment that started as a discussion of President Obama‘s deal on tax cuts, a very testy Weiner criticized the president for “not fighting hard enough.”

But as the conversation drifted to the estate tax, Weiner seemed to have no patience for Kelly herself, interrupting, sighing, looking away, clapping his hands and clearly crossing the line into condescension:

KELLY: You mentioned the estate tax twice, so I do want to ask you about it. The argument from the other side is that it’s a morally corrupt tax. I don’t have a five million dollar estate–I’d like to some day–but if I work all my life and I pay my taxes on my income and then I die and I want to pass on what would be great if it were a five million dollar estate to my kids, why should I pay the government again? Why should there be a 35 or 45 or 55 percent tax on that again?

WEINER: You aren’t paying anything in that case because you’ll be dead.

KELLY: The estate is, and that’s less for my children.

WEINER: The only question is… look.

KELLY: No, you’re not… Answer my question. How is that fair?

WEINER: Megyn, Megyn… Megyn, you’re going to have to let me answer the question. We’re going to have a conversation that gets us anywhere.

KELLY: Go ahead.

WEINER: The only question here is not whether or not there should be a tax on that, the question is where the limit should be and how much should…

KELLY: No, I’ll ask the question and you’re not answering. Just tell me how it’s fair.

Weiner, who never did answer that question, opted to pause, look around the Capitol and clap his hands before returning to camera and asking, “Ready?”

You get the feeling Weiner might’ve walked off after the interview and kicked a garbage can. And yet through it all, Kelly kept cooler than most of us can even get on vacation. It’s a clip that’s definitely worth a look, from Fox:

    Wow!
    What great serendipity for a Hanukkah finale:

    We get to watch the progressive left implode into bitter in-fighting, as their iconic leader and his dreams of a Marxist Utopia come crashing down around them!

    This is way better than the new Jolie flick!

    Next stop, pressure the New GOP to expunge the incestuous profiteering between Wall Street and the Federal Government!

    Onward Ho! (no reference to Spitzer)

  • ImNotBlue

    Has there ever been a moment when Weiner wasn’t “testy or combative?”

    It’s his shtick… especially when he’s being interviewed on FNC. It’s just an act to appease is far-left base, and get his name in the news again.

    I look at Megyn Kelly and I look at Keith Olbermann. Look how KO only has guest who parrot him. Its like looking into the mirror for him. Meanwhile over at FoxNews, Kelly has the balls to have opposing views on her show and isn’t afraid to call them out.

    Perhaps this explains the reason why Olbermann hates females with such a pathelogical approach.

    If a person wants to leave money TO THEIR CHILDREN…that is their business, not the governments.

    Weiner acts as if a person’s money is THEIRS to spend and not the person who has died. If I passed away I would want my kids to get MY money, not the government to get to spend without oversight.

    It is that simple.

    That was condescending, but she was interrupting him as well.

    I see both sides of that argument but I lean toward a low estate tax. I can see it as income, but she’s right. It’s money that has already been taxed as income, but it was taxed as income for one individual and when they pass it does become income for someone else.

  • felixw

    Weiner should have been honest and just said that the Democrats love taxing the same money twice. And if they could find a way to tax it three or four times, they would even be happier. The US already has double taxation on estates and dividends, unlike some other countries, and increasingly the Democrats are clamoring for double taxation of money earned by Americans who work overseas. At some point they will look for “reasons” to impose double taxation on other earnings too. For them, class envy is reason enough, and “fairness” doesn’t even enter into their thinking.

    The libs are on the wrong side of ALL issues.

    If someone leaves you $10 million dollars cash, you would have the money to pay a tax. The REAL problem is when someone leaves you property that is worth $10 million dollars and you don’t have the money to pay the tax. So the family has to sell the family farm, family home or the family business to pay the government their ransom.

    Liberals care not about generations of family-owned farms, ranches or small businesses. They would rather see them confiscated by the gub’ment for the ‘greater good’. this is the whole idea behind the class warfare that these idiots are waging even on those small business owners of their own party. My brother and sister and I just went through this about 2 years ago. We wound up having to sell our family’s ranch that four generations had owned, operated and gainfully employed over a hundred different hardworking, taxpaying citizens. The ranch made it through many years of fluctuating cattle prices, drought and floods but couldn’t make it past the backwards-ass logic of US tax code. Adios to a way of life and jobs for many and hello business park and ‘ranchettes’ subdivision…

    Everytime of see Rep. Weiner on any priogram, I swear I think my head is going to explode. He and his fellow travelers just don’t get. The Dems for more than two years have had a super majority in the house and a filabuster proof majority in the Senate. They wait till now to get all this stuff done. Now they start talking about deficits. This didn’t seem to, mater when they were ramming through the stimulus bill, the health bill and lord know what else. What is really amazing is they (Dems) think we are all just ignorant patsies out here. Well Mr. Weiner, we proved you wrong on Nov. 2nd. As for the estate tax, most small businesses and family farms are being lost because of this conficatory estate tax. we are losing these everyday because the” lazy” childern of the dead can’t afford to pay the taxes and end up having to sell large portions thus rendering the business or farm useless.

    Hey Weiner. It ain’t your damn money. We don’t have a revenue problem, what we have are idiots in government spending too damn much!

    Don’t know if I’d call that cool or intimidated . At least handled with Kid gloves . Thats why Weiner clapped his hands together . Kelly gave to much rope out of the chute . Should have called him on his rudeness earlier . “Excuse me but Sir I believe you are being rude ” Any man should back up to those words . But I’m from Texas .(Never treat a woman rude in public )
    Also the Media has let the left get away with tax cuts for the rich . When Weiner mentioned People making a Million dollars . Kelly should have ask ” What if the PEOPLE you just mentioned employes 4 people ? ” Maybe the Government just took their bonus .

    Which, of course, means very few people pay it.

    You always learn something when King is around. For example, did you know that it’s okay to have bad laws, or over tax people if it only effects a (relatively) small group? Who knew?!

    And, there are many other reductions such as annual gifts and certain trust fund payments. I somehow doubt Michael Dell’s children will be stripped of their inheritance and be destitute.

    So basically, you’re theory is, “They’ve got enough… and the government should be responsible for saying so.” Wow! See, I thought things were supposed to work the other way around… the people tell the government, “You’ve got enough.” Luckily, it seems the voting public agrees with me.

  • rollerman1977

    Megan,

    Regarding the Death Tax interview with Weiner!!!

    Your interview today with Tony Weiner had me shouting at the TV. How any sane individual can believe that the government has the right to take individuals accumulated after tax money acquired from years of devotion, risk, diligence and hard work. My driving force in trying to make money is precisely to take care of relatives and or organizations I alone care about, or, are my direct responsibility! Once again your interview showed me the disdain and disgust Weiner and other democrats hold against people who expect self reliance and individual charity from themselves and others. Nothing is more disheartening to my well being then knowing these democrats will never stop taking from the diligent, responsible citizens like me and my wife.

    Obviously Weiner gives no credence or concern to the following:

    If Weiner thinks we are going to drive old used vehicles for decades to save money….for him to aid his causes.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to scrub scum off apartment showers of lazy renters by ourselves for decades to save money…for him to buy votes.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to continue risking everything, borrowing money to start businesses of which only a few make money…for him to redistribute.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to put up with the difficulty and increasing risk of having employees….for him to control and teach to despise us in return.
    If Wiener thinks we will continue to sacrifice immediate rewards to be self sufficient and responsible so as not to burden this country…so he can demonize us on national TV to win votes.
    If Weiner thinks we just work hard and do not waste money…for him to devalue and spend carelessly.
    If Weiner thinks we pay all our loans and obligations…so he can give breaks to the reckless.

    Well then…Weiner has no capacity to think!

    Further…

    Inheritance money goes to family and others in real need, money earmarked by individuals like me 40 years before we earned it and before our death.
    That same money starts new business.
    That same money keeps family farms intact.
    That same money was earned indirectly in part by the devotion of mothers and fathers made to their children…raised correctly in order to dream and achieve. I wish to reward those loving individuals and supportive brothers and sisters.
    It is most likely that only in the event of my death that this money can and will be available to disperse to these individuals of my choosing.
    It drives me to succeed, save and repeat.
    I am not the man I used to be, I am tired, broken down physically and at times emotionally…but I only need my devoted wife, friends and family…. and the country in the form our thinking founding fathers devised. .

    Cheers,

    Jeff D. Roller

    OK but, what I was referring to is one little clip here and one little clilp there does NOT give you the full spectrum of what really goes on in a program nor do you understand how that person thinks or their show goes. Yet the comments are made as if they knew. Also the clips that are shown are very selective.

    Wiener is well named. I don’t get the Anthony part- should be Max or Bernie. This guy is a real typical loser progressive who would love to take all the hard earned money in the World and shower it on the leeches who bleed our system daily. Wiener is obviously a bitter little man who has a problem with woman who are much smarter and better looking than him. Twits like him would have the unemployment rate at 35% if he had any power – reward those who wait by the mailbox for a check, punish those who work hard and succeed. Hey Wiener, there has to be a Socialist country somewhere for you- you departure would be applauded. He may need to be on suicide watch tonight after Megyn dismembered him.

    Everytime of see Rep. Weiner on any priogram, I swear I think my head is going to explode. He and his fellow travelers just don’t get. The Dems for more than two years have had a super majority in the house and a filabuster proof majority in the Senate. They wait till now to get all this stuff done. Now they start talking about deficits. This didn’t seem to, mater when they were ramming through the stimulus bill, the health bill and lord know what else. What is really amazing is they (Dems) think we are all just ignorant patsies out here. Well Mr. Weiner, we proved you wrong on Nov. 2nd. As for the estate tax, most small businesses and family farms are being lost because of this conficatory estate tax. we are losing these everyday because the” lazy” childern of the dead can’t afford to pay the taxes and end up having to sell large portions thus rendering the business or farm useless.

    Hey Weiner. It ain’t your damn money. We don’t have a revenue problem, what we have are idiots in government spending too damn much!

    You obviously missed the Daily Show and their “Ramming It Down Our Throats” edition. It’s comic genius and just goes to show how much the RNC has in common with the Nuzis.

    Megan,

    Regarding the Death Tax interview with Weiner!!!

    Your interview today with Tony Weiner had me shouting at the TV. How any sane individual can believe that the government has the right to take individuals accumulated after tax money acquired from years of devotion, risk, diligence and hard work. My driving force in trying to make money is precisely to take care of relatives and or organizations I alone care about, or, are my direct responsibility! Once again your interview showed me the disdain and disgust Weiner and other democrats hold against people who expect self reliance and individual charity from themselves and others. Nothing is more disheartening to my well being then knowing these democrats will never stop taking from the diligent, responsible citizens like me and my wife.

    Obviously Weiner gives no credence or concern to the following:

    If Weiner thinks we are going to drive old used vehicles for decades to save money….for him to aid his causes.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to scrub scum off apartment showers of lazy renters by ourselves for decades to save money…for him to buy votes.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to continue risking everything, borrowing money to start businesses of which only a few make money…for him to redistribute.
    If Weiner thinks we are going to put up with the difficulty and increasing risk of having employees….for him to control and teach to despise us in return.
    If Wiener thinks we will continue to sacrifice immediate rewards to be self sufficient and responsible so as not to burden this country…so he can demonize us on national TV to win votes.
    If Weiner thinks we just work hard and do not waste money…for him to devalue and spend carelessly.
    If Weiner thinks we pay all our loans and obligations…so he can give breaks to the reckless.

    Well then…Weiner has no capacity to think!

    Further…

    Inheritance money goes to family and others in real need, money earmarked by individuals like me 40 years before we earned it and before our death.
    That same money starts new business.
    That same money keeps family farms intact.
    That same money was earned indirectly in part by the devotion of mothers and fathers made to their children…raised correctly in order to dream and achieve. I wish to reward those loving individuals and supportive brothers and sisters.
    It is most likely that only in the event of my death that this money can and will be available to disperse to these individuals of my choosing.
    It drives me to succeed, save and repeat.
    I am not the man I used to be, I am tired, broken down physically and at times emotionally…but I only need my devoted wife, friends and family…. and the country in the form our thinking founding fathers devised. .

    Cheers,

    Jeff D. Roller

    Please inform all of us how letting people KEEP their money will raise the deficite. The gov’t isn’t giving money to the rich they are taking it (at every opportunity) from anybody with the motivation to work and the harder you work and the more succsessful you become the more the gov’t comes after you. Maybe the gov’t should try and spend less, maybe the gov’t needs to realize that it cannot help every one and needs to make people more self reliant and let people and families that keep the money they earn.

    Liberals care not about generations of family-owned farms, ranches or small businesses. They would rather see them confiscated by the gub’ment for the ‘greater good’. this is the whole idea behind the class warfare that these idiots are waging even on those small business owners of their own party. My brother and sister and I just went through this about 2 years ago. We wound up having to sell our family’s ranch that four generations had owned, operated and gainfully employed over a hundred different hardworking, taxpaying citizens. The ranch made it through many years of fluctuating cattle prices, drought and floods but couldn’t make it past the backwards-ass logic of US tax code. Adios to a way of life and jobs for many and hello business park and ‘ranchettes’ subdivision…

    Weiner is like every other socialist scumbag, and the estate tax scam is no exception. He wants to tax the hell out of people who get off their lazy asses and amount to something. It’s not enough for him to tax the income people earned as they built their estates, he wants to tax it again when they die. Fair? Only if you’re a weiner.

    Fox News: Better that we sell Hate than Crack said:
    All estates above a certain threshold should be taxed at least 50% or greater. There are too many lazy pieces of shits in our society who live off inherited property from their parents, and then spend their days in comment sections like Mediaite’s doing absolutely nothing but condemning the poor. They are human scum.

    I guess your double wide mobile home is exempt, eh?

    One more thing. I feel sorry for his poor wife, who has spent the last fourteen years as Hillary Clinton’s body slave. I’m guessing he found the only woman in the world willing to marry him. After all, she was completely accustomed to screaming and verbal abuse from those closest to her long before she met Anthony Weiner.

    Megyn uses the standard “double taxation” talking point to pretend that there are people out there who use payroll deduction to build a nest egg of OVER $5 million. She ignores the fact that the first 5 mil will be tax free. Can anyone show me a person in the US that has done that? You have to save about $10,000 a month for 40 years before you start paying any “death tax” at all. There are only a couple of ways to pass on over $5 million, stocks that have grown dramatically, a business that has grown dramatically, inherit millions or win the lottery. Businesses and stocks would include capital gains that have not been taxed or taxed at a lower rate than wages and inheritance would have had a large chunk that was passed on tax free. Only the lottery winners have a real shot at double taxation. Once again, show me a lottery winner that saves it all and passes it on to their kids.

    Who said anything about payroll deductions? Do you have any idea how many people have become millionaires by going to work for Microsoft or Google in the early days, and being compensated in stock?

    Weiner comes across as a self-loving, out of control intellectual elite wannaboohoo. Loud, insulting and stupid. But he believes that the money the wealty Americans have amassed really should be given to Weiner’s government to be redistributed to Weiner’s voters! He believes!!!!

    This guy is a perfect example of Liberal Progressivism. He completely sidestepped the question and inserts his own basis of argument. The question was, “why is it fair to tax money that has already been taxed”, his answer was, ” where the limit should be and at what level”, that is the question in his view?! I like to know how money that should not go to the government in the first place, add to the tax shortfall? Again, this clown resorts to a corruption of ideology to make his argument. This dweeb should be ran out of office!!

    My oldest daughter is going to marry a farmboy who will in time inherit his family’s farm. Forget about the money poured back into the famr to buy equipment and supplies that were after tax dollars. But consdier this……

    Their land is appraised at a certain value. Say 2K per acre. And they have 5K in land. That means the land alone is a 10 mill chunk. Exempting the first 5 mill…..that still means he will owe $1.75 million or have to sell SOMETHING to keep the farm in his family.

    You are talking about a 21 year old old boy who’s father recently passed who has to depend on his mom to help pay his college tuition.

    Where do you figure he will raise the nearly two mill in capital to pay the taxes……on the land alone. Forget about the structures and equiptment.

    And when you figure out the answer to that question……you will have ferreted out the reason why Warren Buffet and the other robber barons are all for this shit.

  • VoiceofReason

    BTW….his mom is a school teacher and couldn’t begin to raise 1 mill much less the much larger sum necessary.

    That’s how we lost my father’s ranch when he died. Now, Conagra owns what he put nearly 90 years of his life into. (His father obtained the land when he was 4 years old.)

  • Tedderman

    3/10ths of 1% of all Americans will qualify for the estate tax. Those few wealthy who loose property via the estate tax usually do so through poor estate planning or drawn out arguments among the survivors. The reasons for the estate tax remain sound, although the limit may need to be adjusted occasionally. The robber barrons are stronger than ever today and spending hundreds of millions to stop the estate tax. I hope they remember in which country they made their wealth.

    That wuss Anthony Weiner is no match for a strong, smart, confident woman like Megyn Kelly.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Mangan/100000213524770 David Mangan

    Megyn is several levels above any and all of the cringe-worthy losers on the alphabet networks. She’s smarter, better-looking and really a find for Fox, who should move her into Shep Smith’s job or get a news division on the sit-com Fox network currently outdrawing the alphabets—although CBS is giving Fox a fight.

    Weiner is such a disgusting piece of condescending fecal material that he’s unworthy of any more interviews, unless it’s for comedy. And then, Nadler the Hut would be a better fit for a sitcom.

  • leftofsocialist

    Dear Wayback:
    I hate to burst your bubble on Anthony Weiner:
    “Wiener is obviously a bitter little man who has a problem with woman who are much smarter and better looking than him.”
    First a look at his wife:
    http://www.bittenandbound.com/2008/05/29/huma-abedin-vogue-photo-shoot-hillary-clinton-top-aide/

    Then an assessment of her intellect:
    “She is a person of enormous intellect with in-depth knowledge on a number of issues—especially issues pertaining to the Middle East,” said Senator John McCain, in a statement relayed by one of his aides.

    So it appears that Representative Weiner can handle quite a bit.

    But, since it is the Christmas season, I’ll give you a present. How about following all the right-wing conspiratorial lines of her being the Lesbian lover of Hillary Clinton AND a Saudi spy?! Knock yourself out!

  • jim bronson 990cc

    So Megyn does not have an estate that will be taxed, but it would be morally corrupt to tax her estate if she did? What would be morally corrupt about it? Does Megyn understand the words she is using?

  • Tedderman

    Understanding has nothing to do with it. She simply is putting forth the repubs talking points for their target market.
