Naomi Klein vs. Fox News

Great clip:

Go Go Klein!

My observation is the Ms. Klein's intensity and intelligence make the purple-clad cleavage-bouncer look vacuous.

I also noticed that Ms. Klein could hardly get a point throughly verbalized before she was run roughshod by "other expert's opinions."

She is, of course, correct in her assertion that we need to develop energy diversity. We need to change our infrastructure. Is it any wonder that Faux News personnel didn't wish to hear her out?

"1 to 5 years" for new offshore drilling to produce? Where did he get that? I want documentation.

And, golly gee whiz shave my legs and call me a girl, Sen. McSame gets brought up... uh, why? How is the "holiday gas tax" likely to ease our serious energy problem?

And Dirk Dorkage brings up tapping into reserves. He then, seemingly, does an about face when Ms. Klein managed to utter a partial statement about "short tem solutions." Hey, Dirk, you seem to be besotted with the sound of your own voice. Let the lady speak!

Then Ms. Klein moves on to climate change and energy monopolies. Didn't get very far with that, either.

Next, totally out of left field, Purple comes up with a question about whether or not Ms. Klein is anti-capitalist. Whazzat? I fail to understand the relevance of that question to the "discussion."

Finally, FINALLY, Ms. Klein gets to state that the book is about policies and government, not off-shore drilling, anti-capitalists or lacquered talking heads.

My opinion? Naomi Klein presented herself with aplomb and dignity.

The Faux News dweebs? I'm at a loss as to how I would describe their performance. Only thing that comes to mind is... well, nothing comes to mind.
