Awkward first press conference for senator-elect Warren

A jittery U.S. senator-elect Elizabeth Warren gave one-sentence answers, ducked questions and even passed one on to Gov. Deval Patrick in an awkward first press conference since the election.
Warren spoke for a total of less than four minutes during the 11-minute press conference — the rest was taken up by Patrick and reporters’ questions.
After being asked her first question — how she’d protect defense spending — Warren was silent as she turned to Patrick.
“Defense spending is you,” Patrick prodded Warren.
“Oh, that’s mine,” Warren replied.
After Warren fielded the question, Patrick stepped in to answer the follow-up.
“Let me start,” said Patrick, shielding Warren from having to answer.
When she did respond, the answers were often brief.
How does she feel about the high female voter turnout and the election of women in New Hampshire?
“I’m glad,” she said.
Is it surprising?
“I’m glad that the women turned out to vote, it meant a lot,” said Warren.
Asked what impact more women in the Senate would have, Warren punted.
“You want to try answering that?” she said, turning to Patrick, who stepped in again.
Warren wasn’t much more forthcoming when asked about her guiding principles on the fiscal cliff
"Right now I think the parties are involved in negotiations,” said Warren.
Does she plan to hire women and minorities on her Senate staff?
“Of course,” she said.
What committee assignment would she like?
“I will continue to talk with the leader about it,” said Warren.
But what committee would she like?
“I will continue to talk with the leader,” Warren repeated.
Warren seemed to finally hit her stride the fifth time she was asked about women.
“Let’s get serious here,” said Warren. “This is 2012, and we’re talking about 20 percent of the United States Senate is female. That’s not an overwhelming number. ... We’re on the right trajectory, but there’s still a lot to do.”
Warren also said Sen. John Kerry would make “an extraordinary Secretary of State.”
Earlier, Warren power-walked past press photographers as she got off a State House elevator and went into Patrick’s office, blowing a potential photo op. The press conference also started about 40 minutes late.

She turned to a man to answer an insipid question about how women will impact the Senate. Imagine if a Republican did that. She would be dubbed a Stepford Senator, for starters.
....
Looks like we have a challenger for the title of “Dumbest Senator”, whom many would claim is currently held by Barbara Boxer (some would claim Al Franken for the title). The “good” voters of California saw fit to re-elect Ms. Boxer for a fourth term two years ago. I’m sure the western half of the Roman Empire had such worthies in its Senate in its final years before it ended in 476 A.D.

It is stunning how such imbecilic behavior, if displayed by a Harvard type, gets no attention. But if GWB or Allen West or somebody like that had a single sentence like any of hers, there would be headlines across the country about the bumpkin.
