Senator Amy Klobuchar Talks 'Twilight' With Elena Kagan

[TheNewEmphinix]

That woman should be locked up for promoting censorship.

With so many guns in America and no one can shoot this bitch?!

[Charlesrocks]

This woman is a nut job! A Real cook and she needs to be voted OUT of office! I have lot's of pull and I will see that she does not get re elected! NO ONE is going to take away our countries freedom and democracy! She should just move to some other country!

[EmperorHeresy]

" under the new bill, introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and John Cornyn (R-TX), “public performance” would join “reproducing” and “distributing” copyrighted works as a felony. Online streamers would face up to five years in prison, and can be charged a fine if they are caught showing ten or more “public performances” via electronic means in any 180-day period, as well as if the total retail value of said “public performances” reaches over $2,500 or the price of licensing a

Edward v. Jacob... Twilight... YOU'RE A SENATOR, ACT LIKE IT YOU MORON....

[oopsibrokethecow]

We have friggin' CHILDREN running this nation. They are talking about Jacob V. Edward on the senate floor? But what can you expect? It was Twiglight reading , Edward,/Jacob worrshiping little teenage minded fluffs who all got these Democrats elected. Children of course, will put other children in power. Than they all have play time instead of fix the nation. Keep in mind. Our President has said that Harry Potter is the most amazing book ever. Shows his intelligence level.

[purplecurtisimo]

we pay people to do this? fuck...

[sprtrmp88keys]

"I wish you wouldn't" I love that. Where did that question even come from, what the hell?

[throatkutter]

The senator is a cunt whore!!

[hungryhippo323]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar should be fired for being dumb 

[emjaydoubleu88]

Amy Klobuchar you are a fucking embarrassment

[C5North]

So glad we have one idot from MN asking BS like that and the other idiot from MN sleeping and doodling. Minnesotans should be so proud of their representation... NOT.

[sirbobpearce]

Wow! that's rather trivial, isn't it?

[zenorac]

Wow, they sure know how to grill those Supreme Court nominees on the tough issues on the American people's mind.

[drizzt5555]

Please..... stfu.

Our government can't afford to waste time like you just did. Just STFU about a dumb movie or whatever and do your job.

[moggitw]

As a Minnesotan i find this to be highly offensive. What kind of people are we electing in our state? One word. Idiots. Great job Minnesota, you did it again

[coconut6321]

oh come off it you whiners. I don't like her anymore than you do but she's just another talking head. Stop whining.

Seriously. I like Kagan because she's clever, and she has some pretty good ideas. Klobuchar may be a shitty joker, but she does her job just fine. She's not dumb for making a bad joke or whatever you'll call it.

[misterbuckethead]

@coconut6321 also please dont comment Coconut6321s channel, it's my little sisters channel... oops!

if you wish to speak to me comment MY channel. Thank you.

[woodycoat]

What an idiot! Does MN only elect idiots? Seriously

[jamccallister]

Even though her statement fell a bit flat, Senator Klobuchar was just trying to lighten the mood of a normally tense hearing process. If you want a substantive clip, look for the one where she counters Senator Coburn's line of questioning about how Americans were "more free" thirty years ago.

[TheOCEANisMusic]

0:39 pwnership

[butlerproman]

Amy is acting as if she has to gain Kagan's approval rather than the other way around. Looks like we elected two comedians for our senators. Sadly, the joke's on us.

[2fmr98]

Thanks for letting those of us who don't stay glued to the hearings to witness the sheer IDIOCY of one more elected official!

For someone to use their valuable time questioning a candidate for a position on the SUPREME COURT OF AMERICA in such a stupid manner disgusts me to no end!!!!!!

Anyone who votes for this senator in the future is absolutely certifiably NUTS!

All these 'cute' back and forths degrade the Court! This is not a college sorority initiation, people, it's the SUPREME COURT!

That's just plain DUMB!

[barriesteddy]

You have to be the stupidest betch in congress and that is taking away some of the virtiol that I have for Pelosi and Boxer but what in the hell are we paying you for? I pray to God wherever you came from those that voted you in see their errant ways and vote you out. You are another reason the benefits you dumb bastards enjoy while in congress/senate should not follow you into civilian life. You don't deserve to be in the office you hold. Retire you stupid ass

Gosh, this is awful! Apologizing to BP was just a slip. Helping fly Bin Ladens out of the country after 9/11 is not a big deal. Helping Iran capture Americans and holding them hostage til after the election to make Carter look bad is the work of a great American. A moment of levity in a confirmation hearing? Tragedy!!! Faux outrage!!!! Pay no attention to the republkraut policies polluting the Gulf for centuries. Someone talked about Twilight!!!

No, it's not a joke. We have economic and real environmental catastrophes going on in the US, and yet precious time is wasted by 2 middle aged Twi-Hard jerkoffs in the confirmation hearing for an appointment to the highest court in the land. This is just another example of how our constitution, rights and freedoms are treated with contempt by corrupt dems like Klobuchar, Kagan and Obama.

[johnnypeps]

It's a joke, get a fucking life people!

[newtdog77]

wow.I'm glad the country doesn't have real issues to deal with

[djmccla]

I do not see what the big deal is. Maybe she was trying to lighten the mood and make a bit of small talk before things had to get serious. You guys are all judging the wrong woman here. The real person I don't want in my countries politics is the fat one who could not even humor the lady talking about sething undepressing for less than 20 seconds.

[MrScott4665]

[AfterwardDeified]

Can you imagine what the Continental Congress would have thought had you shown them a look into the future with this clip? Seriously, what happened to the quality of people that lead this country? If our nation wasn't on the precipice, I'd be laughing along with those idiots, too.

[Dominion1971]

The fact that this "Senator sits and asks such a stupid ass question, while interviewing for a LIFETIME position of extreme power, is mind numbing and ridiculous at best. Whats worse is the fact that Kagen is allowed to side step and circumvent most if not ALL the questions asked her, without ANYONE demanding that she answer them directly, not to mention this woman has ZERO time in as a Trial attorney or Judge at all.. These are all HUGE reasons that she SHOULD NOT be allowed in the SC

[cybervore]

There you go...so many "Serious" questions that the Dems had for her...no shock here!

[FlirtyBirdyFilms]

This is shameful, a female Senator addressing the new Twilight episode in her conversation. Not meant in a sexiest atmosphere at all, but a position like that of a Representative Senator are not/should not be delegated to those relating to normal humanistic behavior. Either you are a powerful corrupt Congressman or one who talks about Twilight? Our USA government will find its peace. Stand up for your rights as a citizen and bring about change. [~_*]

Wow, good work drilling her with tough questions democrats. Moron.

This is what happens when women are allowed to vote.

[Emperordante]

Senator Klobuchar should be careful mentioning three fifteen year old girls having a sleepover. It might arouse Kagan.

[colts375]

This is mind numbing. The country is going to hell in a hand basket and on this very serious meeting two ass brained women are talking about a stupid movie that will be forgotten a yaer or two after the last one comes out. Klobuchar should not hold any power in the government.

[MotionFrequency]

Dems, take it easy on the lady.

[PiefaceclownPrdctns]

Well, idiots get elected, time gets wasted, and Twilight gets more coverage.

We just need to fire every Senator and Congressman and start over completely.

this is so sad. I am really embarrassed to live in MN,

[mytube373]

No wonder our country is going down hill at light speed. These liberals all the way from Obama down do almost nothing but go to movies, play golf, have party's, etc. When will President Nero stop entertaining celebrities, shut his big mouth and actually start DOING something constructive?

[Txbertie]

Repeal the 17th amendment!

It would give us automatic campaign finance reform, a renewal of state's rights and we'd be less likely to have idiots in the Senate.

Another great representative from the state of Minnesota. Awesome.

Was this before they found the Senator's stepsister drowned in a river?

This can't be real..... this can't be real.... this can't be real! It's too stupid!

This definitely wasn't one of Sen. Klobuchar's shining moments. But... Nobody's perfect. Hopefully she'll get it that people weren't impressed with the question and the waste of time and move forward with the lesson from it.

What the fuck is wrong with our congress and government. Where has any sense of objectivity gone? Fucking undeserving elected officials. Hope they all get replaced in Nov.

[BryonAWithhonors]

@Zoklor a little over reaction on your part? it was 46 seconds, a joke, i 'm not a twilight fan at all but congress likes to joke here and there.

[1978CamaroRedneck]

@BryonAWithhonors

With someone like Kagan going into the highest court in the land. Their is not even time to smile sir. You want a communist on our highest court? That 46 second joke was a crime.

[BryonAWithhonors]

@1978CamaroRedneck

how does her saying that make her a communist?

And let me ask you a something, i'm ont saying it's good or bad, but what is bad about communism (of your knowledge)

[Riselikethetide]

@1978CamaroRedneck She's further to the right than Justice Stevens. But I know, people like you don't really like facts, do they? C'mon, go back to watching Fox News, your 24/7 political propaganda machine.

[incognito9887]

@Riselikethetide Fox News is the Devil!!!

Spread the word, Comrade.

[BryonAWithhonors]

@1978CamaroRedneck

of course, you failed to answer my question at all.

Sign of a true IDIOT.

If you would like to reply to it, than maybe we can have some type of discussion.

I aint even got cable television. So you go back to your propaganda machine or whatever it is your doing.

"...three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at three A.M."

I surprised the perverted bull-dyke Kagan didn't slide out her chair as a result of moistness.

funniest comment ever .

@patsagainstrats ojjjj

@patsagainstrats How would you know she's a lesbian?

[Nickthejedi1]

@Sardonac He doesn't, he's just a far right extreme who's life is bent on disagreeing with everything the Obama administration offers. His life is bent on the destruction of the Obama administration, they want to see it fail for their own personal satisfaction. Pretty sad huh? Some people are tolerant of Obama, other's think that whatever he does will result in 2012. Patsagainstrats is that guy who fears 2012.

[sharinganclan213]

i think she is vlogging.

[jarofmoths]

Klobuchar needs to wipe that dumb smirk off her face and get serious about this hearing. You are appointing someone for LIFE, not have coffee with them.

[203207ab]

@jarofmoths aren't the Twilight movies for life also???

I think it is a legitimate question to ask.

just my opinion only probably. :/

[mrhcaphill]

Franken sleeps and this one makes a fool of herself at a Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Real freedoms are on the line and "my" two Senators make a mockery of the process. I love Minnesota but I am also embarrassed for her. Can we PLEASE unseat these fools next time around?

[bleunt]

Is this her personal blog?

[audaciousamateur]

I'm a Minnesotan, I don't like Klobuchar and will vote to unseat her in 2012, but this is not a big deal. It was 15 seconds of personal banter. There are plenty of reasons to criticize both Klobuchar and Kagan. This isn't one.

[Biswalt]

@audaciousamateur: Actually it most definitely is. The only reason Klobuchar did this was so that Kagan could take a break from real questions and have a laugh but it wasted nearly a full minute of the hearing. I mean, can Klobuchar keep it serious for the 3 and a half hours? Is that too hard to ask? And basically Klobuchar did that so she could ask a friendly question, but that was way to friendly, and I think even Kagan was upset by it.

[j3ss33]

Senator Klobuchar needs to be thrown out on her arse... and it's no secret that Kagan is on Team Bella...

[buckyddog]

This Bozo and Al Franken? Is this the best that the people of Minnesota can send to the US Senate?

I would like Kagan to have weighed in on the appropriateness of a romantic relationship between a 109 year old man/vampire and a teenage girl. Where's the outrage?

I think she was commenting on the absurdity of these hearings. The nominee can't comment on what she would decide for ANY case, no matter how ridiculous. I think we need to see the entire video in context to decide.

@YouandWhoseArmy Kagan even knew it was unprofessional and she shut her down. this is not what we elect senators to do. there is a time and a place to joke around, this is not it.

[Riselikethetide]

@sunnchilde Would it be more acceptable if it was an old guy? To most people, surely, because most people find acceptable for serious old men to sneak it a little humor from time to time. However here it's a woman, and once again, all people are going to make of this is that women are generally stupid and frivolous. And it's not like we can afford to perpetuate that image.

[Ceilani08]

@Riselikethetide The thing is, I would find a comparable joke between guys equally atrocious. It's a Supreme Court Confirmation hearing, not a sleepover or whiskey/cigars in the back room. If the question makes her look generally stupid and frivolous, it's because, in that particular moment, SHE IS. The question/joke could have easily been executed in private instead of the world stage.

[Riselikethetide]

@Ceilani08 Oh, make no mistake: I am appalled by her attitude. What I'm trying to say is that on top of being inappropriate, which would have been the end of it had it been a man, she's also doing a great disservice to her gender. That's what bothers me the most

[CkNyan]

@Riselikethetide If it was a male senator it will still be just as inexcusable. It shows how these public hearings are merely a show and lack substance.

This whole confirmation hearing (rubber stamp dog and pony show) is a joke.

She was confirmed the day Obama announced her name.

Stop wasting fking time and get on with more important matters... like getting back to your stupid TV shows.
