Softballs Are A Girl’s Best Friend
November 18th, 2007 at 9:00 pm by BrianTurns out the Dem debate “Diamonds or Pearls” question was made up by CNN was requested and fed to from a former staffer for Harry Reid. Not since Little Shop of Horrors have I been so entertained at a plant that could talk:
When University of Nevada, Las Vegas student Maria Luisa Parra-Sandoval asked New York Sen. Hillary Clinton whether she preferred diamonds or pearls, the crowd erupted with laughter.
But some 24 hours later, Parra-Sandoval said she was upset she had to ask the question. Parra-Sandoval couldn’t elaborate because she was on her way to work.
[...]
On Wednesday, a CNN producer asked Parra-Sandoval for two more questions, one on a serious topic and a lighter question, The New York Times reported.
[...]
On her MySpace page Parra-Sandoval vented her frustration, saying CNN wanted her to use the less thoughtful question.
She wrote: “That’s what the media does. See, the media chose what they wanted, not what the people or audience really wanted. That’s politics; that’s reality. … But do not judge me or my integrity based on that question.”
[...]
Parra-Sandoval is a member of the Honors College at UNLV. She was selected to attend the prestigious Public Policy and Leadership Conference at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and to serve as a political communications intern for Sen. Harry Reid in Washington, D.C., according to a press release the school issued about two years ago.
Judge her integrity based on that question? What integrity?
Seeing as how the hyphenated Parra-Sandoval was Harry Reid’s political communications intern, it appears that cubic zirconia queries are CNN’s preference.
I’m sorry for piling on like that. After all, she’s just a girl.
Just one more question for Mrs. Rodham-Clinton from another undecided voter in the CNN audience:
Boxers or briefs? From one mean, green mother to another.

Who gives a flying f*ck about diamonds or pearls. If the f-ing bitch can’t handle some hardball questions thrown at her without crying like a sissy baby…. I weep for our future if she is elected.
