Coons Shows His True Colors In CNN Debate With O’Donnell

In an outstanding article from Ann Coulter, titled “Chris Coons Lied, Granny Died,” comes a not-so-generous take on the CNN debate last week between US Senate Candidates Chris Coons and Christine O’Donnell:

In all of life’s tribulations, there is nothing so aggravating as being condescended to by an idiot. In last week’s CNN debate in the Delaware Senate race between the astonishingly well-spoken Christine O’Donnell and the unfortunate-looking Chris Coons, O’Donnell had to put up with it from Coons for 90 minutes.

O’Donnell wiped the floor with Coons, moderators Wolf Blitzer and Nancy Karibjanian, and the idiotic University of Delaware students asking questions — all of whom were against her.

Now, mind you, I watched that debate and I couldn’t agree more with Coulter’s analysis. It was clear the moderators were all in for Coons from almost the beginning, cutting O’Donnell off multiple times to remind Coons he could rebut and giving him ample opportunity to beclown himself in the eyes of anyone willing to see him for who he really is.

Worse than the news of Coons’ multiple lawsuits for professional retaliation against his perceived political opponents, is Coons’ apparent disdain or outright disrespect for women. On multiple occasions, Coons tried to make O’Donnell out to be some poor helpless woman who is incapable of a mastery of the facts. From Coulter:

Coons sneered: “A fascinating question that really makes no sense, yet, so if you’d like to — better ask the whole question, I’d be — what’s she talking about?”

O’Donnell said sweetly, “I’d like to know if your family business stands to have a financial gain if cap and trade is passed and, if so, would you recuse yourself in the lame duck sessions from voting with Harry Reid?”

Coons again scoffed at O’Donnell: “Fascinating question. No.”

Thinking he had caught O’Donnell in a gaffe, Blitzer asked for her evidence. Oops!

O’Donnell cited W.L. Gore — the company owned by Coon’s stepfather, which also provided Coons with the only for-profit job he ever held — and said that the company makes fuel cells and other things that companies will be forced to buy under cap and trade. (Making W.L. Gore at least the second entity named “Gore” to cash in on the global warming hoax, by the way.)

Blitzer asked Coons, “Is that true?” Oops, again!

Amid a litany of irrelevancies and insults — That’s quite a stretch, Gore makes a lot of products, we also sell dental floss! — Coons finally coughed up the truth: Yes, Gore will benefit if cap and trade becomes law.

He explained his earlier, by-now-obvious lie by saying that “it took a couple of minutes to even understand what she was talking about.”

Really? That’s strange, because according to Delaware newspaper articles not seven years ago, Coons himself — as the lawyer for Daddy’s company –- deployed Gore scientists to testify before Congress in favor of environmental mandates because, as Coons said, it was good for business.

On Nov. 16, 2003, “company lawyer Christopher Coons” told Wilmington’s News Journal: “This is one of those very rare moments where the legislative outcome matters to Gore.”

I guess now we know why Coons kept pretending he couldn’t understand the batty dame.

Batty Dame indeed, Ann.

I saw Coons mock her, imply she was stupid, attempt to make her out to be some confused and loony broad that was in over her head as she tried to hang out with the big boys. She wiped the floor with him, as Coulter points out, and no matter how hard the moderators tried, O’Donnell proved she can hang with the big dogs just fine thankyouverymuch.

With Maureen Dowd calling Republican women mean and Coons trying to make them out to be stupid…it’s no wonder they are having such trouble in the polls – Democrats – because, after all, wasn’t it supposed to be Democrats that were championing women’s issues?

Apparently not, if all they can do is bitch about them and try to make them look poorly placed in a man’s world. Is it ok, then, to bring up his quintessential shortness or his almost-embarrassing baldness too?

Oh wait…I guess I just did.
