Beating drum for Warren a big mistake
By Howie Carr | Sunday, September 9, 2012 |
When the phone didn’t ring, I knew it was Sen. Katherine Clark (D-Melrose).
Perhaps you remember the freshman solon. She embarrassed herself more than somewhat last May when she lamely attempted to defend the fake Indian, Elizabeth Warren, on MSNBC. Sgt. (Ed) Schultz, of all people, was shaking his head in disbelief at the lies Granny had been spouting about her claim to American Indian heritage, first reported in the Herald.
Sen. Clark, moonbat that she is, corrected Schultz.
“It’s been demonstrated by some of the research that has been done that in fact, there are records that support that claim.”
That was a flat-out falsehood. There are no such records, period. And when Clark spoke on May 21, everybody knew what she’d said was wrong, wrong, wrong. Everybody except maybe readers of the Boston Globe, which hadn’t yet corrected its story about Warren’s grandparents’ “marriage application,” which never did exist.
Fast forward to Friday. Sen. Clark was holding “office hours” (which she confirmed for me before taking it on the lam). One of my radio listeners showed up and asked the senator about her whopper on MSNBC.
According to my listener, this is what the senator said:
“I am telling you frankly that I thought there was a marriage certificate at the time. I was wrong. ... The (MSNBC) interview took an unexpected turn, and I wasn’t prepared.”
My listener then reached out to my fellow Indian tracker, Michael Patrick Leahy of Breitbart.com, who originally busted Granny and the Globe on their phony “marriage” story. Friday night, Leahy broke the news online about Sen. Clark’s retraction, which she made three-and-a-half months late. Sen. Clark hadn’t seen the story when I phoned her Friday night, but she assured me she’d get right back to me once she read it and put her kids to bed.
After getting no response, I called her again yesterday morning and got ... voice mail. What a surprise.
I don’t really blame Sen. Clark for anything except gullibility. She went to Cornell Law, so she probably assumed Harvard’s “first woman of color” was on the level. I guess what they don’t teach you in the Ivy League is that assumptions are the mother of bleep-ups.
Speaking of which, did you see the fake Indian at the convention Wednesday night? How can someone who based her entire academic career on a falsehood repeatedly use the word “rigged” with a straight face on national TV? She said “nobody gets a free ride” — except her. She wants a “level playing field” — for everybody not cynical enough to deal themselves a race card off the bottom of the deck.
Granny envisions a world where “everyone is held accountable” — except herself.
Lieawatha was so smug she didn’t even rewrite a lot of her now-exposed fictionalized biography. In Charlotte she continued to claim she was raised “on the ragged edge of the middle class” — with a mere three cars in the Herring family driveway in 1965, including her personal white MG sports car.
Granted, she no longer mentions her Indian “heritage,” or the “intellectual foundations” she once bragged of providing for Occupy Wall Street, or how people on Wall Street supposedly tell her only she can “save” capitalism.
But Fauxcahontas has a new favorite word — “toes.” It seemed odd when she told the Oklahoma Hall of Fame she was “Okie to my toes.” But in prime time last week, she worked in her lower digits yet again.
“I’m grateful, down to my toes.”
Still, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Another of Warren’s favorite stump-speech verbs is “hammer,” as in “the middle class is getting hammered.” They got hammered twice more Wednesday night.
Then the dismal new unemployment numbers came out Friday, and guess what. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that one of the few bright spots in the national jobs picture is that restaurants and bars are hiring.
Apparently, the middle class is in fact getting “hammered.” At their neighborhood taprooms and gin mills.
As for you Sen. Clark, I’m still waiting for my callback.
