Althouse: "The 90-degree day did not appear to slow Warren: She bounded up the steps to the stage and gave a kinetic, full-body wave to the crowd."

October 14, 2019

"The 90-degree day did not appear to slow Warren: She bounded up the steps to the stage and gave a kinetic, full-body wave to the crowd."

"Without saying a word, the 70-year-old presidential candidate sent a message: Her physical stamina belies her age."

From "Elizabeth Warren, 70, flaunts her fitness as Democratic candidates’ health becomes a debate issue" (L.A. Times).

LOL - is she a capitalist? I doubt it.; 10/14/19, 10:26 AM

Francisco D said...: Without saying a word, the 70-year-old presidential candidate sent a message: Her physical stamina belies her age."

She has the (non-Hillary) energy to take down American democratic capitalism in one term.

If she wins, it will be only one term because the economy will collapse.; 10/14/19, 10:32 AM

Don't want to see the "full body, kinetic, body wave".; 10/14/19, 10:32 AM

Infinite Monkeys said...: As if they think the only problem we had with Hillary was her poor health.

Liz isn't like Hillary, she's got energy!

Unfortunately, she still shares many of Hillary's more annoying characteristics. (Like thinking she could spend my money better than I can.); 10/14/19, 10:36 AM

Obvious contrast implied..one loaded into a van, one loaded onto operating table; 10/14/19, 10:37 AM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: Ooh, a message. At least Hillary had the LIV’s lingering affection for Bill. Warren is going to be a very hard sell, even in this wonderland.; 10/14/19, 10:38 AM

rehajm said...: I'm a healthy gazelle!! Don't eat me!!!

The fact she feels the need for a fitness display is one more reason to be concerned...; 10/14/19, 10:41 AM
BarrySanders20 said...: Busy Lizzie!

She should tout her physical stamina, as that is important. It differentiates her from Biden and Bernie, who look and sound too old. It's the rest of her that gives off the oddball vibe. Her Indian name should be One Odd Duck.

Maybe with all the running to and fro, she can campaign with an Indian Runner Duck as an unofficial mascot.; 10/14/19, 10:41 AM
Crimso said...: She drinks the blood of capitalist babies.; 10/14/19, 10:47 AM
Jupiter said...: I don't know. Biden was looking pretty buffed in that one video on the ship. He fought Trump for like thirty seconds. Got in some good punches and kicks, and he was doing backflips and cartwheels and shit. Trump took Fauxahantus out with one punch.; 10/14/19, 10:48 AM

BarrySanders20 said...: I wonder if Liz said to the camera, "I think I'll have me a kinetic, full-body wave to the crowd" before she loosed the kinetic, full-body wave to the crowd.

What is a kinetic full-body wave? Does it start low and go high or vice-versa? Did she get a good pelvic thrust, as any true full-body wave would require?

Did the wave crash over the crowd, or did they run away when it looked like it would reach their toes?

Or maybe that curious description was just the imagination of the enthusiastic media person who is all in on Liz.; 10/14/19, 11:02 AM
Michael Fitzgerald said...: Drug test the twit. Bet she's coked up like a son of a Biden.; 10/14/19, 11:04 AM

Wow.

That's called April - November in Florida, and a lot of old ladies achieve it.

That's setting the bar very low.; 10/14/19, 11:10 AM

The heat tho.; 10/14/19, 12:00 PM
Earnest Prole said...: It's a reminder that Elizabeth Warren's body matches her social class. In contrast (looking to the last election), Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both have lower-class bodies, which is a rare thing in modern American presidential politics.; 10/14/19, 12:08 PM
Yancey Ward said...: She can end Biden next week if she wants to, but he is finished regardless.; 10/14/19, 12:08 PM
Roughcoat said...: 70 isn't old. I.e., it doesn't have to be. Not anymore.

Re Hitler's health: it was terrible. At his death, when he was only 56 years old, he was a broken man, physically as well as emotionally.; 10/14/19, 12:13 PM

My 22 yo daughter expects to vote for Ms. Warren. At that age, she has very little to lose in the economic meltdown that a President Warren's policies would portend.; 10/14/19, 12:37 PM

TestTube said...: Williamson looks fit, like you could take her dancing all evening, and she would still be shaking her stuff at the last song and yelling for an encore.

Gabbard looks WAY fit, like the woman soldier in Aliens.

Warren looks like someone's fragile grandma granny-jogging down the street at about two miles per hour, and everyone says "Good job grandma! She really is active for her age!" Then grandma takes a nice nap for an hour or so.; 10/14/19, 12:50 PM
gilbar said...: fun lines from the LA Times:
ssociates say she is an energizer bunny in private too. Fueled by a high metabolism, she tends to snack and eat small meals throughout the day, yet remains rail thin
a 'high metabolism'? Is THAT what we call cokeheads now?

As Warren’s crowd sizes have grown into thousands...
THOUSANDS! do you Realize? That means if they just increase, say Ten or Twenty fold, they'll be the size of a Trump Rally???; 10/14/19, 12:54 PM

So she's got that over Hillary.

But which is worse: a decrepit commie like Bernie or a comparatively vigorous one like Liz?

It's almost enough to make one hope that Slow Joe can pull out the nomination.; 10/14/19, 2:11 PM

rcocean said...: Remember all those 2016 "Rah Rah Hillary" pieces"? She was always "powering through" and "Her younger aides couldn't barely keep up" - despite Hillary collapsing now and then. But that was OK - because it was only due to her being a "Hard charger" who didn't have time to drink water.

So, Warren is getting the same treatment. She's "Dynamo at 70" she's "Flaunting her fitness" and "No can keep up with her!" Frankly, she looks damn goof for 70 - unlike Hillary. But a lot of Pols do. They only get complimented on it, if they have D after their name.; 10/14/19, 5:28 PM
rcocean said...: Off topic. Has there ever been a Presidential Candidate more protected by the Press than Hillary in 2016? For the MSM, it wasn't an election - it was a Coronation. And Trump was supposed to be the easily beaten, couldn't win in a million years, fall guy.
Hence, the insane shock and anger. Even Hillary's poor physical condition, obvious now, was hidden and whitewashed. The most ludicrous excuses were given for her collapsing and falling down. With Warren 2020, it won't be excuses for physical weakness, but covering up her lies and extreme statements. Just wait, in 2020 the Press will proclaim her America's sweetheart, the likable - but tough - who will replace the ogre in the White House.; 10/14/19, 5:35 PM
