Catching up with an unintentionally funny moment from Tuesday night’s (March 13) Republican primary coverage, MSNBC political analyst Karen Finney, who was off-camera at the moment, noticeably exhaled and then loudly groaned “ugghh!” upon hearing the exit poll determined a plurality of women in Alabama voted for Rick Santorum. A few minutes earlier she had bemoaned how “this women’s vote really hurts me” and that the she found the female preference for Santorum “painful.”
Her loud exhale and groan came about 10:45 PM EDT, during Last Call with Lawrence O’Donnell. The other guest, left-wing “SiriusXM Left” host Mark Thompson, noted 49 percent of working women backed Santorum. Then, eliciting the groan, Thompson pointed out “it looks like all women went with Santorum – 37 percent of women.”
