Ever see a guy try to get himself into a catfight?...

Politician Tells Male Moderator He's “Prettier” Than Candy Crowley


Quote:
Arizona Senate candidate Richard Carmona may have hoped to put charges that he mistreated women who have worked for him behind him, but he did himself no favors Thursday when he appeared to tell the moderator of his debate with Rep. Jeff Flake that he was “prettier” than CNN’s Candy Crowley.

After a difficult stretch in the debate, moderator Brahm Resnik quipped “Geez, now I know how Candy Crowley felt.”

“You’re prettier than her,” Carmona responded, eliciting a nervous laugh from the moderator. “I’m not sure how to take that,” he then said.


Flake has made allegations that he has problems with women and accusing him of intimidating a former female employee.

Carmona's campaign did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

[UPDATE] A Carmona spokesman declined to comment on the exchange beyond saying "It was a joke."

[UPDATE] Carmona's campaign just released a statement from the candidate apologizing for the joke.

"I tried to tell a joke to lighten the mood in a debate. I shouldn't have, and I'm sorry," Carmona said in the statement.

A story that paints a politician in a bad light and no mention of which party he's a member. I am SHOCKED!!!

Wait a minute... I just googled the politician and found out which party he's a member of. I'm going to keep it a secret and see if anyone can guess which party he belongs to...

It's either the one with the elephant or the one with the jackass. Yes?

Well I know what party Flake is with so it's pretty easy to see which moron it was. BTW that wasn't a story it was a piece of video.

Underneath the video are these things called "words". Maybe you should try reading these "words", instead of just watching the video.

BTW the story says

" Democrat Richard Carmona has been trying to move past allegations he doesn't work well with women. This may not help. "

I missed the part above the video and only read the part below it. The next time we meet you are entitled to provide me with one swift kick to the butt.

Seems most of the people in the news media I consider excellent at their jobs are usually not the most attractive, like Christianne Amanpour, Chris Wallace, Martha Raditz...

Is Chris Wallace prettier than Candy Crowley? Subjective, I guess.
