Feingold loses his cool
The Milwaukee Drum, an African American-oriented news site, reports Senator Russ Feingold lost it on the air today while being interviewed by Sheriff David Clarke and Earl Ingram.
The Senator ended the interview suddenly after co-host Sheriff David Clarke asked a two-part question. Clarke’s question dealt with Congress adding ‘earmarks’ to the Iraqi War Funding requests and the lack of jobs created by the stimulus package. Instead of answering the damn question, he bailed out of the interview by saying he had to go.
In my opinion, Sen. Feingold showed the ultimate in disrespect to Earl Ingram and his listening audience (Black Folks, Black Voters, you Black Democrats). The beat goes on for these Liberal, White Men who take YOUR Black Vote for granted. They know YOU will NEVER consider voting against a Democrat. They know they OWN you mind, body and vote. They CONTROL YOU BLACK PEOPLE…

Now we know why our cool maverick senator hates free speech. He can’t take it, even in a friendly forum.
What would he do in a real debate during campaign season? Throw something?
So wait….he “lost his cool” because he got called to a meeting by the Senate Majority Leader, only to finish the interview later?
Gotcha!

No, he didn’t finish the interview later. And he left abruptly when the questions got tough. The one interviewer chooses to believe the Senator’s story after being massaged by his handlers, but judging from the comments the audience know what they heard. Some of them are willing to excuse it on the grounds they didn’t like Clarke asking the questions, but it doesn’t change what they heard.

James, so Sen. Feingold didn’t finish the interview the following day? Is that what you’re saying?

I’m saying he walked off during the interview, that Earl (as partisan a Democrat on the air as we get) was handled by Feingold’s people, that a phone call from the majority leader would not be sufficient to pull Feingold out of an interview unless he wanted out.

Let’s put it another way. Do you remember when you were out on that blind date and she answered the cell phone saying, “It’s just my mother checking up on me. One sec.” Did you really believe her when she suddenly yelled, “OHMIGOD! A METEOR JUST HIT DADDY! I’m sorry, but we’ll continue this another time.” Did you ever wonder why she never called?
“The majority leader.” Geez, not even the White House. How lame.
