‘Ugghh!’ MSNBC’s Finney Loudly Groans Upon Hearing Santorum Won Plurality of Women
Catching up with an unintentionally funny moment from Tuesday night’s (March 13) Republican primary coverage, MSNBC political analyst Karen Finney, who was off-camera at the moment, noticeably exhaled and then loudly groaned “ugghh!” upon hearing the exit poll determined a plurality of women in Alabama voted for Rick Santorum. Video below.
A few minutes earlier she had bemoaned how “this women’s vote really hurts me” and that the she found the female preference for Santorum “painful.”
Her loud exhale and groan came about 10:45 PM EDT, during Last Call with Lawrence O’Donnell. The other guest, left-wing “SiriusXM Left” host Mark Thompson, noted 49 percent of “working women” backed Santorum. Then, eliciting the groan, Thompson pointed out “it looks like all women went with Santorum – 37 percent of women.” (Since revised to 38%)
Check out the video to hear the visceral reaction from Finney (Politico bio for her), a veteran Democratic operative who has worked to advance the policies of Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean:

Thompson was in the middle of a liberal exposition:
What is amazing to me is that not only do 49 percent of working women go with Santorum, but Karen it looks like all women went with Santorum – 37 percent of women, the majority of men went with Gingrich. So, one of the great questions – the great mysteries – I want to have answered when I get to the pearly gates is not only where do socks go in the dryer, but why women are Republicans and why people vote against their own interests in that party.
That came seconds after Thompson accused Santorum of racism in “coded” language, which was detailed in Brad Wilmouth’s post: “MSNBC’s O’Donnell Accepts Guest’s Bizarre Claim of Racist ‘Coded Message’ from Santorum.”

That's the sound of a liberal commentator makes when she leans forward on MFNBC ... you know, letting one slide out without it making a sound.
She was also heard to say. . .

Finney channeling her inner Pauline Kael.
Because Republican women are too stupid

Because Republican women are too stupid to know what their interests are, that's why!!
Come, on, say it, Mr. Thompson! What else could explain why they vote against their interests??
Because you, of course, as an enlightened liberal, know better than they, just what their "interests" are, right?
What an arrogant SOB!!
But then again, that's all liberals. The only reason anyone would be a conservative or a Republican is because they're stupid.
Your own medicine too bitter, Karen dear?

Too bad. Women in the two southern states voted their conscience and their pocketbook and decided went for Rick Santorum. They don't listen to political crackpots like Karen, and these gracious ladies could certainly care less about what the sexually amorphous O'Donnell or the dimwitted Mr. Thompson had to say.
I believe that Ms Finney

4th Spending I dont approve of
The CBO recently provided information the stated Obama care will cost twice as much as originally thought. Of course we know this number is still way low. Has this Admin done anything to correct this? Has this lapdog media provided the public with this knowledge? Of course not, full speed ahead, straight over the cliff. Hopefully the free condoms will break our fall.
This Admin doesnt care if the cost was underestimated by 2x or 100x. Because they dont care about Americans, Men or Women. They have CUT Women's health benefits such as mammograms. Then in the same breath dare to suggest we hate Women. Cretins all,
This Admin is clearly out of control,
So all you dimwits, please explain to me why tyranny is so great. Please explain to me why forcing folks against their free will is such a necessity. Please, pretty please, explain to me, why you feel entitled to MY labors, my property, and my familys.
