Carolyn Maloney: Feeling Ugly?


Carolyn Maloney's Newest Lie
Finally A Debate? Is A Non Debate A Debate?
Debating Is Not About Media Attention To Reshma Saujani
Maloney Refuses Debate Yet Again
Carolyn Maloney: Chicken

And this entire time I have been giving Carolyn Maloney too much credit, I have been suggesting Carolyn Maloney is too scared of Reshma's smarts to show up for weekly debates. Well, Carolyn Maloney has just showed to be the most sexist of women. Apparently what she is scared of is Reshma's looks, or so Maloney would have you believe.

Maloney lied in suggesting she negotiated the details with Reshma and they together decided on debating each other on September 7 on a radio program I have never heard of in the middle of a work day when noone is expected to tune in. And I think the time allotted is 10 minutes, commercials included.

Carolyn Maloney is the most sexist of women. We just found out. Although this should not be news. I know enough about prejudice and internalized prejudice, I know enough about racism and internalized racism, I know plenty about sexism and internalized sexism.

To say the September 14 primary is about which candidate is the most beautiful is absolutely the most sexist suggestion to make. Carolyn Maloney is suggesting that if the debate is held on TV when people are actually watching, people might find out Reshma Saujani is actually a good looking woman, and they might vote for her. How sexist is that thought!

Are you telling me people have been voting for Carolyn Maloney for the past nine elections because they think she is beautiful? I find that hard to believe.

Debating is about ideas and policies. Debating is not a beauty contest. All media forms have to be invited. It should be a TV debate, but radio stations should also be invited. The debate should also end up on YouTube. There should be a feedback mechanism. People should have the option to chime in. As many people as possible should have the option to participate.

We are fooling ourselves if we are thinking this debate is only about District 14. There is national interest in this debate.

Gothamist: Obama To Support 9/11 Health Bill: "The president looks forward to signing the 9/11 health bill into law, once it passes both houses of Congress, to help the first responders whose health and livelihood were devastated by the events of September 11th."
Carolyn Maloney was running up and down the street a few months ago trying to take credit for the credit card bill. After being in Congress for so long and making Wall Street bad behavior possible, after being the enabler supreme, Maloney was now going to get a facelift and present herself as the person of the people.

Carolyn Maloney's Newest Lie

The credit for that credit card bill goes to Barack Obama, the man in charge. Maloney should stop taking credit for the Brooklyn Bridge, (And I'd Like To Take Credit For The Brooklyn Bridge) Maloney should stop taking credit for a non existent Second Avenue subway line, (Carolyn Maloney's Work On The Second Avenue Subway Line) and Maloney should stop taking credit for the credit card bill. (Obama Has No Business Kissing Maloney)

Now this 9/11 health bill has a great chance of passing, and thanks to presidential support. The credit will go to Barack Obama.

The president letting Maloney fail with the 9/11 health bill is a president saying this was not the person behind the credit card bill either.

Carolyn Maloney's Newest Lie

Fisher 500 AM/FM hi-fi receiver from 1959. Cou...Image via WikipediaCarolyn Maloney met Reshma Saujani long weeks ago at an event. Reshma Saujani proposed they debate, Maloney said sure. The following day Maloney put out a statement saying she never agreed to such a debate. Maloney lied.

Only a few days back a promising, young, female TV reporter asked Maloney point blank if she will debate Reshma Saujani. Maloney danced around the question. The reporter asked again, point blank. Maloney said her staff was in conversation with Reshma's staff about the details of such a thing. Maloney lied. Her staff has n-e-v-e-r been in conversation with Reshma's staff. Maloney lied.

A day later she put out a press release saying a debate has been fixed for September 7. There never was a negotiation, how can a debate have been fixed? Maloney is making it sound like she and Reshma talked about it, and together they decided they are going to hold a debate on radio - alarm bells ringing (Reshma is too digitally savvy to agree to a FDR era technology) - during the work day on September 7. I have not bothered to ask Reshma to ask if it is true. Because it is so obvious to me that Maloney is lying, again. Reshma would not agree to such outmoded technology. She is a YouTube/Facebook/Twitter kind of person. She will agree to nothing less than a TV debate that a bunch of TV channels are eager to host.

Maloney. Lied. Again.

No wonder we have suffered from the Great Rececession and the Big Oil Spill. Maloney is a big reason why.

Finally A Debate? Is A Non Debate A Debate?

YouTubeImage via WikipediaThere are all sorts of news stories saying Carolyn Maloney has finally agreed to a debate with Reshma Saujani. I will believe it once I see it. Until then I have my fingers crossed. Maloney has danced this dance before. She will say yes to a debate, and then a few days later she will say she did not say it, never.

A radio debate in the middle of a work day? I say even TV is not good enough. What we need is a YouTube debate. People will have the option to watch whenever they want, and they will have the option to comment. I say a YouTube debate sponsored by a few TV stations. So it's on TV at night, and it's on YouTube as well.

FDR was a while ago. Granted Maloney is from a different era, but trust me, YouTube is just like being on TV. It is not like you have to put on extra makeup or anything.

NY Daily News: Reshma Saujani Vs. Carolyn Maloney On Debating... Again: As you can see here in this clip by Melissa Russo of NBC, when (twice) asked if she'd debate her NY-14 Democratic primary challenger, Reshma Saujani, Rep. Carolyn Maloney first dodged, and then said their staffs were talking and she would "consider it." .... Of course, we've blogged about this issue about a million times -- Saujani trying to invite, push, cajole, whatever you want to call it -- Maloney into debating.... The same arguments stand now as stood then -- Saujani would want to get Maloney into a forum where she could a) show her stuff against the congresswoman, b) get more public attention, and c) expose Maloney to a possible gaffe... which, from a strategic standpoint are all the reasons why the incumbent might not want to do it.
Reshma Saujani On Radio Debate: Apparently, That's Not Good Enough: Remember yesterday, when I wondered if maybe my days (weeks, months?) of blogging about the debate-scheduling squabbles between Reshma Saujani and incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney were over? ..... WWRL debate is scheduled to occur in the middle of a weekday on a radio station with no television cameras, at a time when most New Yorkers are at work
Capital Tonight: Maloney Agrees To Debate Saujani: woman-to-woman face-off on Sept. 7
OurTownNY: Maloney Agrees To Debate: The debate will also be on a Tuesday on a radio show most Upper East Side voters probably don’t tune in to regularly. (Perhaps WNYC’s Brian Lehrer would have been more suitable for this race.) .... Previously, Baruch College on the East Side sent out a letter asking the two to debate on its campus Aug. 26, but Maloney would not agree..... The decision to debate came after an interview with NBCNewYork, in which Maloney told a reporter, “My campaign staff is talking to her campaign staff and I’m sure that the issues and the records will be put forward.” .... Saujani’s campaign manager, Kevin Lawler, released a statement saying, “We must have missed those calls and emails—because that’s news to us,” adding, “There has been no effort from her staff to even contact our campaign to discuss the issue.” .... James Allen, Saujani’s spokesperson, said that the campaign has not accepted the Errol Louis debate and wants to hash out mutually agreeable terms

Debating Is Not About Media Attention To Reshma Saujani

U.S. map with counties labeled by FIPS code ac...Image via WikipediaReshma Saujani does not want to debate Carolyn Maloney because she thinks that will get her some media attention. Reshma Saujani has been getting a ton of media attention as is. Reshma Saujani has been attracting national media attention for months now. She has been attracting international media attention.

For Reshma Saujani it is not about media attention. For he debating is about debating itself. For her it is about debates being so very fundamental to the democratic process.

For her debates are about democracy.

For her debates are about respect. Respect for the voters of District 14 who deserve to hear from both the candidates who are running. A debate format will best allow the voters to look at both of them and then go make their own decisions.

For Reshma debates are about the issues that she cares about so deeply and that she has been working on her entire life. Those well thought out positions, you don't cook them up for one election. They are the work of a lifetime. When you debate you are appealing to the intelligence of the voters. 30 second TV ads at some level insult the intelligence of the voters. Debates respect their intelligence.

For Reshma debating is about the crisis that is the 10% unemployment rate in the country. It is about the 50% unemployment rates in some parts of her district.

Debates are the lifeblood of democracy. A Carolyn Maloney scared of debating is a Carolyn Maloney scared of her voters, a Carolyn Maloney scared of democracy, a Carolyn Maloney scared of the big issues of the day, a Carolyn Maloney not having the slightest clue as to how the unemployment rate will be brought down.

I find Maloney's staying away from the weekly debates absolutely disgusting.

When Carolyn Maloney finally shows up for the debates, she is the one that will get media attention. Reshma's media attention will get shared with her. And Reshma is okay with that, because she believes in debating so much. She is even willing to give Maloney some media attention.

Sep 15 - Oct 31: Obama-Reshma Should Crisscross The Country

Oval Office ceiling medallion.Image via WikipediaKeeping The House And The Senate

I want Barack to be able to keep the House, because I want him to do the good work he wants to do on comprehensive immigration reform next year. (The Dumbfuck Immigration Laws, Immigration Now?, Save Immigration For 2011, In South Africa They Had Apartheid, In America They Got Immigration)

I also want him to defy history one more time. He defied history in November 2008. His father would not have been served lunch in many parts of this country, and this dude is munching on snacks in the Oval Office. Unbelievable. But critics have started saying anyone can defy history one time. If he were to defy history two times, those critics would be silenced. And I want them silenced. History tells us a sitting president is supposed to lose this November election. Got to defy that, dude. (Obama's Got Momentum: He Could Defy History In November)

Barack's best bet at defying history would be to crisscross the country with his namesake Reshma. There are many reasons why. (Reshma: Obama's Number One Weapon For November 2010)
  1. Reshma has not been in Congress. (September 14 Will Birth The New Woman) If Obama was the face of change in 2008, that face of change this year is Reshma. She has never held political office before although she has been an activist her entire life. She was a top person with Kerry 2004, and she was a top person with Hillary 2008. Since Hillary herself is in the cabinet, I am thinking we Obama people have forgiven "them." She is excellent in the three departments money, message, and organization. Reshma captures the mood for insurgency across the country. She can rightfully say, if you want to add new fuel to the message of change, vote Democratic. Barack has the slight disadvantage of having been in the White House two years, thereabouts. 
  2. All those women who cracked up that glass ceiling in 2008. (Firefighters Booing Hillary: Sexist, Al Hagan: Capable Of A Hate Crime, Al Hagan, Carolyn Maloney: Did They Apologize Yet?) Guess what, they are still there. Reshma crisscrossing the country is going to get them riled up. They will become more likely to show up at the polls. (Carolyn Maloney: The Alan Keyes Of District 14)
  3. Reshma is literally the second stimulus bill this country needs. (Reshma Saujani Is The Second Stimulus Bill This Country Needs) The president should let her do some of the talking on as to how this country is going to move from a 10% unemployment rate to a more healthy 5%. I mean 10% could lead to social unrest. Some say it is already happening. It is called the tea party. Reshma's message is that you need to mend the frayed relationship between Wall Street and Main Street to get people back to work, and now, after Wall Street reform, is the time for it. 
  4. Just like in 2008, the choice is still between the past and the future. There is no turning back the clock. This country has to choose the future one more time. And Reshma is the face of that future. Reshma could credibly make that case. (Reshma's Is Top Primary Race To Watch In America: BusinessWeek In May) Barack beat McCain in a presidential race. Reshma has beat McCain in this BusinessWeek race. (Positivity, Excellence, Dark Matter)
  5. The 18-38 crowd put Obama into power. That crowd now wants some power for itself. And it starts with Reshma. We run the danger of our 2008 surge crowd not showing up in full force in November. Reshma's crisscrossing the country will give them a big reason to show up. Change now looks like us. (Uptown Upstart, Extrapolations To Reshma 2016, Reshma On CNBC
  6. Charlie Rangel is the Bear Stearns of the US Congress. (Perfect Time For Congress Reform, Rangel Has Gone Radioactive, Charlie Rangel, Carolyn Maloney And Their Ethics Violations, Charlie Rangel: Motherfucker, Rangel And Maloney Need To Vacate The Premises And For The Same Reasons, The Rangel Drama) I am in disbelief how the New York congressional delegation is giving standing ovations to the crook. That guy is now a political suicide bomber, and he could single handedly cost the Dems the House. He has to be isolated, contained, and quarantined. Bear Stearns' collapse needed to be localized. Do not repeat the mistake. Reshma Saujani has been singing exactly the right tunes on Rangel. She will help the president make the case that Obama might also be black, but he is no Charlie Rangel, and Reshma is a New Yorker, but she feels the same.
  7. Reshma has a presence.  (Reshma Saujani: Top 10 Women To Watch In America)
Carolyn Maloney's Six Sins

And then on October 31, they should together celebrate Gandhi's birthday, (Gandhi, Reshma And Tornadoes, Reshma Is Gujarati Like Gandhi, I Am Bihari Like Laloo, Vogue India Features Reshma) and then Obama should give Reshma a few days to crisscross her own district.

Reshma's Is Top Primary Race To Watch In America: BusinessWeek In May

Image of Reshma Saujani from FacebookImage of Reshma SaujaniMay 6, 2010: BusinessWeek: Key Primary Races Worth Watching
  1. Reshma Saujani Vs. Carolyn Maloney (New York, House, D)
  2. Alan Mollohan Vs. Mike Oliverio (West Virginia, House, D)
  3. Trey Greyson Vs. Rand Paul (Kentucky, Senate, R)
  4. Blanche Lincoln Vs. Bill Halter (Arkansas, Senate, D)
  5. John McCain Vs. JD Hayworth (Arizona, Senate, R)

Reshma Saujani is the top political news in America this election season. 2010 is to Reshma what 2004 was to Barack Obama. She has not reached that mainstream imagination yet, but consider yourself lucky if you know her already, either in person or in name.

It is amazing she topped this poll in May when the list includes also Senate races including the Senate race of the guy who I think just ran for president not long ago.

This list includes all races for both the House and the Senate and Reshma is top of the list. This is Reshma's year. And if Barack Obama recognizes that fact, he gets to keep the House in November. I say starting from September 15 just completely take over her schedule. Call her up and say, Reshma you are coming with me, you are crisscrossing this country with me. Last I checked I was still leader of the party.

Reshma Saujani Is The Second Stimulus Bill This Country Needs

"Thousands gather at the Subtreasury Buil...Image via WikipediaNew York politicians in Congress who have raised gobs of money over the years from Wall Street have not known how to do the nuance thing. They have not known the difference between enacting Wall Street reform, which has been necessary, and refusing to demonize Wall Street. The Wall Street reform bill they have passed is weak, and their demonization of Wall Street has gone too far and has hurt the chances of this country bouncing back to low unemployment levels.

One politician in this country who has been able to do the nuance thing is Reshma Saujani and she has done it when she has not had the power that a Congressperson has. Reshma Saujani winning on September 14 has national implications. That is why the New York congressional delegation needs to do a fundamental rethink. It needs to distance itself from Rangel/Maloney, and it needs to come out in support of Reshma Saujani.

Because it is about jobs. It is about creating jobs. It is about the number one issue that will decide if Democrats or Republicans will take the House in November. The voters across this country are angry enough that they just might make the entire New York congressional delegation go stand in the corner.

Standing by Maloney is outright the dumbest move any New York politician could make right about now. To stand by Maloney is to wish a permanent 10% unemployment rate upon the American people. You will not be forgiven.

Misery loves company. Carolyn Maloney is incompetent, and so is the firefighters' labor boss Al Hagan. These two individuals' attitude towards the failed 9/11 health bill has been the most perplexing aspect so far for me of the ongoing Reshma-Maloney contest. They have done everything except throw an outright victory party for the failed 9/11 health bill.

The first responders deserve better. The brave firefighters of this great city deserve better.
These two people have failed to get the 9/11 health bill passed year after year after year. They failed in 2001, in 2002, in 2003, in 2004, in 2005, in 2006, in 2007, in 2008, in 2009, and now they have failed again in 2010.

The question I am asking is if you were one of the first responders on September 11, 2001, and you got injured, do your injuries wait for your Congressperson and labor boss to get their act together and get a health bill passed in Congress? As in, do the blood cells take some time off? Does the decay go into freeze mode? Do the body processes patiently wait? I am guessing not. And if they wait, do they wait a full decade?

This whole Maloney-Hagan drama would be hilarious if it were not so tragic. Shamelessly invoking 9/11 does not seem to be a cure for basic incompetence.

I started suspecting during the final week of July that it had been an unusually active month. Yesterday I looked up the archives. My suspicions were confirmed. July 2010 has been the busiest month so far at this blog.

Reshma 2010 is my on ramp to Obama 2010. The Barack-Hillary tussle was a contest. Either side could have won that one. The Barack-McCain thing was a no contest. Barack was surely going to win that one. But I did very much want to be there for the victory party, for the six month long victory party. Now it is contest time all over again. It is not at all clear which side will win in November. I am with Barack. Completely. Calling the Obama 08 spirits all over again. Wherever you are, wake up. It is time to go marching again.

This is now a Reshma Saujani blog. But I am going to keep the name. I would not want to hurt Barack's feelings.
