NPR reporter Nina Totenberg used an appearance on “Inside Washington” to apologize for attending (gasp) ”a Christmas party.”
“Well, these agencies,” she said, “including the Defense Department, don‘t know how much money they’ve got and for what. And I was at – forgive the expression – a Christmas party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this (their budgets).”
By the way, is it just us or is Mark Shields beginning to look exactly like Jabba the Hutt?

Typical out-of-touch liberal…always apologizing after the fact. Did she not know that it was a Christmas Party? Thank goodness that I’m a long-time Scientologist!!!
What do you expect from a person who works for (pardon the expression) NPR? Besides, she said that in the wrong place. It should have been "I attended a Christmas party at the Department of (pardon the expression) Justice" - she clearly misspoke.
That, Maria, may be the comment of the day.
Pericat: Editor and I so much appreciate your comments on the site. So many of them could be standalone commentaries, that's how good they are.
No problem. I enjoy it. (Probably too much to be healthy -- I really should be working.) :)
Merry Christmas, NPR hag.
It's a classic!
Nina Totenberg is typical of the dhimmicrats on the left. Pandering to the muslim invaders like only NPR can.
I''d pick the conservative of course.
Lets say I was being mugged or car jacked...
The liberal would victimize the criminal, empathize with HIM and I'd end up being the bad guy.
Of course! You have money that obviously you have taken from people who are poorer than you! That makes you a bad person in libspeak. Shame on you for holding out on that poor, disadvantaged mugger, just out to improve his life. Here, have the classic explanation of the difference:
Question: How can you tell if somebody is a Liberal, a Conservative or a Redneck?
Answer: Pose the following question:
Suppose you're walking down a deserted street with your wife/husband and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 9 mm, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What would you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife/husband think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a "paint and weed day" and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! ! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Conservative's Answer:
BANG!

Redneck's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click. (sounds of reloading).
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click
Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips, or the Remington hollow-points?
That was funny. Right we aren't supposed to be "wallet rich" and not be mad at people that aren't "wallet rich" taking things from those that are "wallet rich"...
I guess I'm a redneck.
Love that Perlcat, that's exactly the point I was trying to make
Yea me too. They can't be trusted and they have no balls. Who would you pick if you were to be in a nasty life threatening situation without knowing either one, a conservative or a liberal?
Liberals offend me.
Well, look at her, you don't think she would be invited to an orgy- I wonder if Santa will drop monistat in her stocking this year
