remember back then. live wall to wall. i don t know what he was doing back in the late 90s. i don t really want to venture to say. but there was wall to wall coverage. he got no pass. maybe even worse is the entitlement that is required to suggest that women are winning the war on women because, quote, my family, the women in my family are doing great. women in many families are not doing great. two out of three adults in poverty are women. two out of three minimum wage workers are women. to extrapolate from your own privileged family, it s just the essence of privilege and entitlement. it s wrong. but going to policy, jess, since you brought it up, when senate republicans blocked an equal pay bill, something that i referred to and jones has referred to, senator paul con paired it to a soviet policy. he said, quote, in the soviet union, the politburo decided the price of bread. and they either had no bread or
that s scared of these numbers. look at these numbers. brand new poll from pew. in a year, this guy s unfavorables have gone to 17 to 34%. doubled his unfavorable. doubled his unfavorable numbers. this is also pathetic. you re in the middle of wall-to-wall coverage of cnn and everybody else on this ald scandal. bill clinton s numbers weren t great at this height of the jennifer flowers scandal. you know, when scandals blow up, your numbers go bad for a while. let s see where christie is you brought something up earlier, and i think it s right on. politico over the weekend interviewed a bunch of conservative activists in states like iowa and south carolina and new hampshire, who were not huge christie fans. and they said all of this coverage is actually softening them to chris christie. and you mentioned that this
certain things in stride. things like public nudity. someone is photographed sun bathing topless. something like this is different. they will tell you on the street, we don t care what he does in his private life, this is the biggest story over there, i was in paris two days ago, it was wall to wall coverage. i mean this is what everybody was talking about, from intellectuals to taxi drivers. why? i think the details of it, he is hugely unpopular now, his ratings are down to, by some estimates 15%. and also, the nature of it, the fact that he was photographed being not very discrete, because you know to the french, discretion is everything 37 they want to at least be toastful about it and then they ll cut you a lot more slack. he was photographed with this motorcycle helmet on, showing up
