I'm still in New York City and last night I was having after dinner drinks with a lovely lady from Dubai, at the bar at South Gate on New York' s Central Park South,
Another woman came and sat next to me on the side opposite the lady from Dubai. My back was pretty much turned to her, since I was facing my my Dubai gal. I really had no reason to turn away from my date since her natural beauty is not something you see on a daily basis. But the woman on the other side of me had a very booming voice. It is likely the loudest booming female voice I have ever heard. Foghorn--like would not be an inaccurate description.
She proceeded to announce to the bar that she had a lot of work to do.
I still hadn't turned to get a good look at her, but the voice sounded familiar. She then struck up a conversation with the man on the other side of me, she boomed, "Well, I'm originally from New Orleans."
At some point, I turned and looked at her. Her face looked familiar, but in addition to the booming voice, this was a very big woman. She was clearly not on Lew Rockwell's primal diet. In fact, it was near midnight and she was eating some kind of huge sandwich. But I studied the face and realized it was Donna Brazile from CNN and ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
They say the camera adds weight to your look. In Brazile's case, it takes it off. In person, the woman is huge. (Not to mention the way the sound engineers must have to tone down her foghorn voice.)
At the bar, she had all sorts of papers spread out with CNN logos all over them. At some point, I turned to my Dubai gal and introduced her to Brazile. I told her that Brazile was a national television political commentator. At this point, I swear, Brazile looks among the papers in front of her, picks up and flashes a laminated 81/2 x 11 CNN logo.
The talk turned to the Middle East and, eventually, Iran. Brazile said "well they might get a nuclear bomb." I said, "Even if they do, what are they going to do with it? Israel has hundreds, the United States has thousands. If Iran launched a nuclear weapon, they would be annihilated in hours."
She didn't respond. I saw that on one page she had written by hand, "Confirmed Delegates". Next to Mitt Romney, she had written 173, next to Ron Paul she had written 19.
I said to her that Ron Paul was actually accumulating quite a number of delegates. I said that in Iowa, for example, where Romney was early on reported as the victor (and later Santorum), Ron Paul may have won the delegate count. She pulled out a big binder, turned to the section called Iowa and said Iowa has only 45 votes. I said that the point was that Ron Paul was accumulating delegates and that in a brokered convention they could be very valuable.
At this point, the Dubai lady excused herself to go to the ladies room.
Brazile then turns to me as though I am her husband that she is about to divorce and in an annoyed voice (booming, of course) says, "Look don't introduce people to me. I am very busy. I came here to study these reports for my appearance on ABC in the morning.." She told me in her foghorn voice, over the bar crowd noise, that she came to the bar because it was "a quiet place".
She then told me that it wasn't going to be a brokered convention and that Romney, "despite his being hapless" was going to win the Republican nomination. She then turned to that huge sandwich she was eating and took another very big bite.
Was one big bite all it took for her to finish the huge sandwich?

ReplyDeleteSounds like Brazille should have been a character in the movie
ReplyDeleteTeam America: World Police.
Pleasant woman....
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bitch...
ReplyDelete...Great story though!
Wenzel, you legend.
ReplyDeleteIt is embarrassing to see such an ad hominem attack, regarding the woman's weight and eating habits, being made on a serious website. This is the type of thing wherein libertarians and Paul supports should be taking the moral high ground, not jumping into the gutter. As for Brazil, yes she is liberal, but she definitely scored points with me when she pointed out on national television that liberals and the liberal media are actively supporting Mitt Romney because they know he is the weakest candidate in a head-to-head election with Barack Obama. George Stephanopoulos about had a stroke on camera in response to he comment.
ReplyDeleteShe came to a busy bar to prepare for her appearance on ABC. Either she's a complete idiot, or the real reason she was there was precisely to garner the attention she claimed to eschew. She just expected more butt-licking than she was getting.
DeleteShe deserves all the ad hominem attacks leveled against her.
The thing I would be careful about, Robert, is educating the enemy. They won't use the information to our benefit.
Lighten up....its descriptive and not inappropriate and certainly not an ad hominen. Some may call her a woman and some call her other things.....but one thing she is NOT feminine. And considering what she has said about others who do not approve of her pet puppeteer, Obama, ALL is certainly fair play.
DeleteAd hominem? Did the piece suggest anything about discounting anything the woman said? Did it say anything about how the woman should be disregarded based on any of the characteristics mentioned about her?
DeleteAll I read was a story about a pretentious attention-seeking moron. Maybe you should look up the definition of terms before you use them.
Buddy, being interested in politics may be a necessary vice in today's politicized world, but if your date was as lovely as you say you've got to be out of your mind to ignore her, even for a moment, to talk politics with a TV Talking Head.
ReplyDeleteStill, this is a cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Very bad dating advice. Fawning over your date is the quickest way to being an AFC (Average Frustrated Chump). Robert's actions were definitely along the lines of a DHV (Display of Higher Value) -- a very good move on his part.
DeleteBeen watching a little VH1, have we?
DeleteNope, but read some of the books a few years ago after my divorce. I figured I should finally get around to figuring out why I was (what I know know as) an AFC.
DeleteThe Mystery Method book is brilliant -- especially if you read it to understand the theory. You don't have to execute the scripted methods for it to work if you understand the reasoning behing what's going on. Just to avoid the mistakes that put you in the "friend zone" (which happens VERY quickly) is worth reading the book.
I give that book and a couple of others credit for me being able to find my current wife. And I mean that sincerely.
Not long after I read the book above, I was at a party where I brought up the book and the PUA theories. That alone drew a small crowd around me just to listen. One of the wives wanted me to "demonstrate" some of the techniques on her. So I was executing some of the techniques on her literally while I'm explaining the whole thing to everyone. You could see the physical changes in her demeanor so much that her husband subconsciously felt he needed to stand between the two of us. And that was with me telling them what I was doing.
It doesn't work on every woman you meet, obviously, and sometimes you make a mistake. However, the book also helps you recognize when you've done that so you can just move on and avoid being the dork that keeps trying once the opportunity has already passed.
And I soooo wish there'd been a book like that I could have read 30 years ago.
Hilarious story. I'm laughing out loud as I type this!
ReplyDeleteshe sounds like she thinks she is important and people acually respect her opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think I got a visual on that bight of the sandwich. Sick sack please.
ReplyDeleteis there gonna be a second date? what happened?
ReplyDelete*"It is embarrassing to see such an ad hominem attack, regarding the woman's weight and eating habits, being made on a serious website.

ReplyDeleteLOL!! Is that you, Steve Horwitz? Ah, another "Bleeding Heart" (fake) libertarian. Take your whining to Meghan McCain's Fat Girls Who Blow Big Farts page. They should welcome you there.
so the person who gave her the dossier of papers to study effectively programs her thoughts.... if you want to go far in the msm this is how its done. no thinking allowed.
ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteWho cares about this fat foghorn? She is neither smart nor good looking. Tell us more about how you got to that dubai girl. Now that is a good story.
Yeah, pics or it didn't happen.
DeleteOn the TV she comes across as smart and sophisticated. But the way you describe her characterises someone with the maturity of a child who constantly wants excitement and attention.
ReplyDeleteBy itself, being fat or loud doesn't necessarily mean anything. But coupled with the 'hey look at me...I'm on TV...I'm with CNN...don't introduce people to me', it tells me very descriptively that Brazille is a big, fat, self-absorbed ass...like most of these creeps who inhabit the political world.
