Beginning of the end for Pirro?

I had to think about it for second. Randy Newman.

He did it too? Joe Cocker's version came to my mind.
I can do without the image of Bucky stripping to that saxophone, though.

edit- Google just informed me that Randy Newman wrote it, so that makes this a good day, learning something.
 
I can't but help wonder how Pirro ever landed on a court bench?

And how did she wind up being such an Islamophobe being a Lebanese girl from Elmira, New York?

She's Christian Lebanese. She is not afraid of islam, she just hates it. Pirro has a very interesting academic law record. Likely the reason she was selected for the bench. Her briefs are well worth reading if only for the law logic. Significant understanding of Constitutional issues and decisions. You may not agree with her decisions, but you will appreciate the logics she uses, even as a layman. Many attorneys have positively cited her court conduct and decisions. Sometimes there is a need to step away from the headlines.

There are always consequences for speech, despite one's freedom to say most of what we want to express. In this case there was a financial one in the form of advertisers pulling ads from her show. FOX may be fine putting shows like hers on provided they aren't going to affect their ad sales negatively. I do agree that it's FOX telling commentators to tone it down, and in this case I think it's a positive thing because Pirro questioned Omar's loyalty to the country and constitution based on her faith. It was very reminiscent of how Catholics were thought to be more loyal to the Pope than this country back when that kind of critique was the norm against Catholic political candidates.

There seems to be only consequences for conservative speech. Today anyway.

That depends on the content of the speech. Omar, whom Pirro was referencing, received a lot of backlash for her comments. Now in the age of the internet, all sorts of comments (present and past) are easily accessible and confronted pretty quickly. Whether this is for better or for worse is another topic.

I guanantee you the democrats will rue the day the dox’ed Kavenaugh and got away with it in the media. Now the republicans have license to destroy them all, one by one leaving the democrats a clean but uncompetitive candidate in 2020. They are allready wellon their way dissessembling Beto, Harris is just fund raising now, Booker is neutralized.

What a f’ing mess. As and voters we have it coming by letting them get away with it in the first place.

Meanwhile, the GOP has no morals and knowingly elected a liar, cheater, thief and con artist. So, don't go lecturing anyone.

No but I wouldn't rule it out. She's probably in debt from the medical bills because our health care system is messed up and is willing to say whatever she's told to say to make waves and get ratings? Possible. But I know plenty of women, including women who overcame cancer, and even if I despise their views, I'm not going to bash them - although I might bash their deplorable rhetoric. Like I said, it's the internet, I don't have a huge problem with it, but we should all be better than mocking the appearance of a borderline-elderly woman. Yeah? No hard feelings.

Thank you. Lest we forget, Trump made the whole "Hillary is hiding the fact that she's dying" argument. Which is obviously not true in retrospect (or at the time if you're sane).

Can't believe they gave her a show anyway. Losing 100 lbs didn't make her any less trashy.

The whole reason they cancelled her other show is because she was doin' the mess around with a child molester. Then they turned around and gave her another one because she lost weight.

:roll:

Bet you a nickel that Hillary would never have to fake medical records. :lol: Or pay a doctor to give her a glowing bill of health.

Bet she'd never pay her doctor to say, "Look at her! She's the picture of health, and weighs in at only 109 lbs!" :lol:

Blue:
I'd be surprised to learn Pirro is "in debt from the medical bills" or because of the nature of the US healthcare system. Indeed, given that..
  • She was reported to have been earning from $3M to $5M/year in her role on the Fox News Channel,
    • (She's been there since 2011 and learned she had cancer in 2012, and sometime between then and now overcame it.)
  • And she surely has excellent health insurance coverage...
...it strains credulity to think her cancer treatments and the state of US healthcare have anything to do with whatever indebtedness she may today have.

May she be in debt due to the magnitude of her medical bills and the state of the US healthcare system? Well, only because almost anything is possible, yes; however, Pirro's being in debt for the reasons you've specified is not probable.

Pink:
What? Should I take it that you don't rhetorically bash women merely on account of their being female?


Re: bashing Pirro and mocking folks' appearance:
I think you should learn the difference between a bashing (attack) and accurately describing. I called Pirro a "hussy" because enough of her public behavior/rhetoric comports with that term's meaning. (Click here for an example.) Even your own depiction of her rhetoric -- "willing to say whatever she's told...to get ratings" -- comports with "hussy's" definition. (FWIW, being a hussy or "heffa"/heifer hasn't a damn thing to do with me; it has to do with the woman's behavior.)

Descriptions/observations that are accurate are not defamatory. The adjectives may not be qualitatively positive, but that doesn't make one's uttering them libelous or slanderous. For instance, it's not an attack to call an obese person fat. Simply, the refutation to complaints of libel/slander is the truth; thus the truth is never defamatory, is never an attack.

There are, however, plenty of instances in which folks dislike that others of them speak the truth. When others so speak, that's called "making an observation" or "describing" someone/something. Many folks these days appear to be thin-skinned and keen to take umbrage over every damn thing others say.

For example, a newswoman remarked that mentioning the abundance of blond women who host Fox News Channel programs amounted to dehumanizing the women holding such jobs. What a BS beef! Fox News Channel does have a lot of blond female hosts/anchors. Just looking at Fox's "Shows" page, there are 2.5 non-blond female hosts/anchors out of 11 pictured females. (FWIW, the same page shows one blond male host/anchor out of 20 pictured males.)

If one is butt ugly/"mfugly," blond, thin, obese, etc., whatever term one prefers, one knows so just as well as everyone else does. Those all are traits people, humans are aware of regarding other humans, in all likelihood because we are sexual beings and therefore will notice. I didn't call Pirro a "heffa"/"heifer" because I can see she's not ugly and she's not obviously overweight (maybe she weighs 10-15 pounds more than she should for her height, but if she does, it's not readily apparent). In that regard, she's like most (maybe all) television news anchors/hosts, and especially female hosts/anchors.

At the end of the day, one earns one's adjectives that accurately describe one's appearance and conduct. If one doesn't like those adjectives, rather than assailing others, one should "look in the mirror" and resolve to alter oneself, not what others about one say.

I've watched her.
I've also watched that useless waste of oxygen you post as an avatar.
Pirro is in doo doo for wondering is Omar isn't maybe following Shira law and asks if that isn't anti-American.
I think its a valid question that needs to be asked. I also think FOX is allot more socially conscience then say...CNN.
Don Lemon never skipped a beat after calling white people terrorists...instead he doubled down on the very next night.

So...
FOX is conscience of the things their people say on-air...and CNN is nothing more than a dumping ground for Libbie hacks and whiny morons.
I can live with that...how 'bout you?
 


Looks like the uproar is about the opening statement.
 
I watched the opening. How is the judge wrong?
 
I hope Trump nominates her for the Supreme Court.

I would that that is unlikely as she is a yuge target for a congress filled with unconstitutional yahoos.

She has called them out for their idiocy by name too many times.

It would be interesting to see the confirmation hearings however.
