Awkward first press conference for senator-elect Warren

[songfourone]

Elizabeth WARREN is the first Native American woman to be elected to the US Senate. Shouldn't Harry Reid, President Obama and the major media outlets commemorate this historic milestone? A huge ceremony at the White House would be appropriate, don't you think?

(Stolen from another board.)

Another lie from the Republicans.

She said she had been told by her family there was American Indian ancestry.

Another lie from the Republicans.

Really?

"In April 2012, the Boston Herald reported that in the 1990s, Harvard Law School had, in response to criticisms about the lack of faculty diversity, publicized Warren's law directory entries from 1986 to 1995, which listed her as having Native American ancestry.[49][50][51] Warren said she identified as a minority in the law directory listing (of the 1980s and 1990s) in hopes of being invited to events to meet people of similar background."

So Harvard Law is controlled by Republicans? Who knew?
Or maybe you meant Elizabeth Warren is controlled by Republicans?

The way Scott Brown handled it was his undoing.

Forget about Scott Brown. He lost.
Do you think we should have a big party for the first Native American woman Senator, Elizabeth Warren?

Nope, we are still waiting for the first Native American woman Senator.

This woman is incredibly unqualified. And not really good at telling the truth.

Yes, there are Republicans in office that fit the same description.

Doesn't matter.

She'll do what Harry Reid tells her to do.

That's the only real "qualification" she needs.

So her entire ancestry is chocked full of liars?
