Maryscott O'Connor on Fox Radio

For anyone who is interested, Maryscott O'Connor who is willing to go where some of us dare not tread, was jut on Fox radio. The interview is over now, so I've changed the title and am adding a bit about what I just heard.

It was *phenomenally* cheesy and obnoxious from what I heard. Maryscott held her own, but the whole premise is kind of insulting, complete with the little intro teasers about journeying to the far, far left and finding out how these people think. Because there's an election coming up, he adds. Here's the discussion at My Left Wing, with the background on how this, her third interview with John Gibson, came to be.

I don't know how long the interview had been going when I tuned in, but at that point Gibson was talking to Maryscott about the filthy names he's seen us lefty bloggers call each other. She countered that the right wing bloggers do that too, and he thought she meant Ann Coulter. Maryscott said no, she was talking about human beings, not space aliens.

After that there was a commercial break, and then two callers before the end of the show. The first one asked if Cheney were a Democrat, would the Democratic response be the same as the Republican response is now. She said that yes, the response would be that it was an accident, and the big problem is how it was handled afterwards. She wondered where the White House press corps suddenly got these "teeth and claws" and where were they in the run-up to the Iraq war, where were they in Abu Ghraib, etc.

The second caller asked if this hadn't been the vice president, wouldn't the police have come out right away, and wouldn't he have been given a breathalyzer test? Gibson said that, hey, wait a minute, the Secret Service called the police right away, and the police said, "okay, we'll send somebody out tomorrow". Maryscott noted that a breathalyzer test the day after wouldn't do a lot of good, and Gibson asked, "Well, do you know if it's even Texas law that you *have* to have a breathalyzer test?" She said that she didn't know, but that she did know that it was Texas law that if Whittington dies within a year from the heart attack that was a result of the shooting, the law mandates that there be an investigation. Gibson asked, stupidly, if she was hoping that he dies. Maryscott said no, she was just noting that if that does happen, Cheney and company haven't done the research that would be needed for his defense in such an event.
