Shame on him for still plugging the book after that tantrum.

He's got class; even after her doing that he was still a gracious host. My hat's off to him.

That's what I was thinking too.
He was asking incisive, but not "rude", questions. Isn't that what journalists are supposed to do? If she just wanted a scripted promo for her book, she should have gone with someone else.

She's not running for office and she didn't want to talk about it. I don't see the problem.

Yeah, she handled that well.

She is plugging the book and apparently that topic is in the book according to him. I don't know for sure cause I am not reading that trash. If it's in the book, it's definitely not an off limits topic, she is just a fucking lunatic.

First of all, I can't believe I clicked to watch that. :panic: She bothers me. No, that people voted for her... even one vote, bothers me.

Right. It's not a problem, except she went on his show knowing he was going to ask her questions. Then she didn't want to answer his questions. That is what an interview IS. He asks questions, she answers. That's how it works. I didn't think HE was the one being rude. It wasn't that difficult to just provide an answer instead of a temper tantrum.

This. All he was doing was asking about topics in the book. I thought he was being very respectful and she ended up being a bitch.

I think they both handled themselves well and is another example of that old saying about 2 immovable objects

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt...

I thought you were keeping up with the latest news on the debates of gay marriage and such, so I was kind of expecting you would have.

Hmm. There's a thread on a moto forum about it. I suspect her PR people got what they wanted out of it.

Perhaps if he'd been a dick and she walked off, they mighta gotten what they wanted. No, this was PR fail.

No, everyone just thinks she's a idiot, no one wants more of this, we're making fun of her, and hopefully, she'll just slink away.

Yep, that's how it works. The more attention you give these people, the more likely they are to fade off...

Keep paying attention to her... yeah, that'll work.

Disagree. Her idiot followers and media are eating it up.
She's back in the news again, (possibly on another talk show), explaining why she walked out (and shillng away for her book).
Rinse.
Repeat.

This is true.

She was on her Today show explaining her side of the story.*

I find Morgan to be far too apologetic an interviewer. He's not really up to asking the hard questions. That may be why she decided to do the interview. That she thought that she would actually be steering the interview is the height of stupidity.

.... she is just a fucking lunatic.

But she's not a witch.
