Pa. Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll loses it: The moonbat funeral crasher returns
Oh, my word. I knew this woman’s name rang a bell. Yesterday, at a Hillary Clinton campaign event, Pa.’s Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll threw a hissy fit:
Both Democratic candidates made a final push for votes on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary — but it was Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll’s comments to former President Bill Clinton that stole the spotlight in Pittsburgh. Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato was introducing Clinton to a crowd of about 6,000 people in Market Square, where they had gathered to hear a campaign speech by Clinton’s wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton. When Onorato tried to hand over the microphone, Knoll grabbed it and let loose with some talk targeted at Onorato and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
“They never recognize the lieutenant governor. These two men can’t stand women,” she said, before leaving the stage while talking to Onorato. After the campaign event ended, Knoll spoke briefly with WTAE Channel 4 Action News reporter Paul Van Osdol.
“You really think that Mr. Onorato and Mr. Ravenstahl don’t like women?” Van Osdol asked. “No, it’s a guy in the back who doesn’t know who Cathy Baker Knoll is,” Knoll said.
“Why did you say that about Luke and Dan?” Van Osdol asked. “Because they’re afraid of the guys who call the shots,” Knoll said. “You know what? I’m not afraid of anybody.”
The Clintons downplayed the temper tantrum as mere “exuberance:”
As President Clinton signed autographs and shook hands after his wife’s speech, Van Osdol asked him about Knoll.
“I think she’s an exuberant supporter of Hillary’s. I’m grateful to her,” Clinton said.
Sen. Clinton said much the same thing.
“I wasn’t here, but I know in the midst of rallies and hectic campaign schedules, things like this happen,” Clinton said. “It got straightened out, and everybody spoke and did an excellent job, and the lieutenant governor has been a friend and supporter for 25 years.”
Here’s the vid:
So, who is this nutball? Longtime readers will remember her as the same, self-aggrandizing Penn. official who crashed a Marine’s funeral uninvited three years ago and poisoned the somber event with her anti-war rhetoric and camera-hogging antics.
Looks like she learned nothing from that debacle.
Pennsylvania, you have our sympathies.

I am really getting confused by the stupidity of nearly everyone on the left. Almost reminds one of being in lock stop; like a Nazi regime of long, long ago.
Good grief, wonder if this woman has ever had a mental evaluation? If not, one should be up for consideration.
.
Of course they downplayed it. Liberals are prone to act out when they don’t get the notoriety they feel they
deserveare entitled to.Newsflash: This event was not about you, Cathy. And crashing that Marine’s funeral was despicable. Liberals lack decorum.
Typical democrap.
Seems like they’re all stuck in the “terrible twos”
this person needs to change her Meds.Cheap way for some news print . Libs are always moonbat spacey
What do you expect from a gender fascist?
I’m not sympathetic to the people–is she not an elected person? Someone voted for her.
She’s a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania fossil from the Robert Casey epoch.
Man, for Dems who feel we, the little people, should have to suffer them, their lack of manners is quite telling.
One further note: what this woman did at the marine’s funeral is unforgiveable. What’s happening to this country when a family can’t even grieve and talk about their family member with reverence and honor?
You would think that PA voters would wise up a time or two, huh?
Cry Me three Rivers!
They just wanted to avoid a lunatic who is “not afraid of anybody”!
This woman is LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR of Pennsylvania? What’s in the water in that state?
Good lord . . . we need to find the next train back to La La Land and load everyone of those loony Democrats onto it.
MA voters have kept sending Teddy Kennedy back to the Senate for how long?
I think you’re setting the bar a little too high.
And Micheal Dukakis downplayed his failure to secure federal funding (70% of the cost, by the way) to clean up Boston Harbor as an “oversight.”
I guess Ted Kennedy leaving a woman to die in an Olds Delmont should be termed a “youthful indiscretion,” right?
God help a Republican that had done any of these things.
Wow. This woman needs help.
It could be said that she has Attention Deficit Disorder…. When she detects a Deficit in the level of Attention she feels she deserves, her Disorder shows up.
WOW! Sounds like a Midol Moment……
Elected moonbats seldom do - rather, they feed on this type of invective until they’re so bloated with over-bearing self-righteousness, that voters can tolerate no more, and quickly move to turn them out of office.
Coming from a known moonbat dem is it really that shocking? She and Fred Phelps should hook up.
Nah, let’s keep a few around for entertainment value.
HUH! Shocking!
Shes clearly drunk or sedated.
Sounded like she had been imbibing.
Where is a good tazer when you need one?
Maybe she’s just ‘bitter’ about something
drunk…
This is the Democrat party. Classless hateful bigots.
Intolerant to the bone.
Another liberal wack job, how suprising.
No she has the new bi-polar fad. Medicated is the word I would use.
As a Pennsylvania voter, I’m bitter that the Commonwealth voted her into office. I don’t think that will happen again. Just remember, even stupid, vain and crazy people have a right to representation by their peers.
If Pittsburgh area Republicans are smart, they’ll run a woman for mayor and executive against these guys — and they’ll play that clip in every commercial. What would the Democrats do — admit they have a crazy woman as lt gov or admit the mayor & executive hate women?
Contrast the PA Moonbat with Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. In the midst of giving birth to her 5th child (she’s starting to catch up with my wife and me), she has initiated the USMC Roll of Honor for her Alaska Marine veterans.
Amazing difference. McCain would do well to consider Gov. Palin as a running-mate.
Hey, BJ, needed a few seconds to consider the question, eh? Very astute response. Any support is good support, apparently.
Am I the only one on here that thinks this ol’ gal looks kinda like Murtha??
Maybe they’re related. They’re both nutty as fruit cakes..
.
Lt. Craphead. Another woman scorned. She’s as bad as any racist…..but then again that is what the Democratic is all about.
Speak for yourself. Any state that puts donkeys in power and keep them there for decades gets no sympathy from this quarter.
The Lt. Governor of my state is “not afraid of anything” because no one she comes in contact with is as crazy. Otherwise, someone would have knocked this very arrogant woman on her butt long ago.
This passes for normal in the L3 crowd
What ever happened to William Russell and his run against Murtha? Is no news good news?
Now — to Knoll — is she the Democrat answer to the LESSER of two evils?
That video could be used as a case study for a psychopathology class. What a fine display of narcissism and histrionic personality disorders (a.k.a. being a self-centered jerk).
Ummm….I don’t think that was water.
Good point thanks for the correction!
If I had a son who had died as a Marine, and this idiot crashed his funeral, her ability to speak would have been severly impaired. Please voters, can we keep nut cases from both parties out of office?
She looks like John Murtha in drag! LMAO
That crazy crank was clearly drunk.
Those Botox injections musta leached into her brain.
Have you ever noticed that the left’s “anti-war” types all have explosive tempers? How ironic. It also seems that many of them seem to age more rapidly than others who are less filled with rage. And is it also coincidental that so many hate-filled female Democrats in the spot- light get diagnosed with some form of cancer? The late “Ma” Richards, Elizabeth Edwards, that virolent columnist who passed last year, all come to mind. Weird! I wonder if there is a mind-body connection?
Obviously, they didn’t help!
palin does not add anything to a JSM ticket. she needs to take care of her newborn and govern her state …
“” These two men can’t stand women,” she said, before leaving the stage”"
I’ve seen women and you sir are no woman.
Three words….Hormone Replacement Therapy
Reminds me of the old Chelsea Clinton joke.
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Answer: Because Janet Reno is her father.
I’ve run out of popcorn. It only gets better.
50-some comments and no one has nicknamed the Lt. Gov. “Grassy” Knoll?
exuberant-Demspeak for outhouse rat crazy.
Knoll has quite a history with the Commonwealth of PA. In 1999, she was in the middle of an extensive investigation by the SEC and Justice Department into “yield burning”, and those close to her were indicted and fined.

While she admitted to shredding documents, she claimed none were related to the subject of the investigation. Her defense was that, as State Treasurer, she was clueless as to what was going on in her own office. Apparently, the authorities believed her to be clueless as well, as they never filed any charges against her (she claimed she was found to be innocent, which was not exactly in accord with the findings of law enforcement that there was not enough there to prosecute her).
Having seen her, I’d buy that.
She lost it long ago.
Last I heard he is off the ballot because he did not have registered voter signatures on his petition. Another brilliant Pennsylvania politician. They is a push for him as a write in. The Republican party is useless.
he did not have ENOUGH registered voter
There is not a day goes by I do not find a reason to hate, yes HATE, Democrats even more. What pure evil lurks in their hearts I can only imagine.
Then there is always that to take off the edge a bit. Where is that old cow anyway?
Yes, I signed up for Miss Hillary’s newsletter.
I woke up my baby I laughed so hard at that one.
Priceless!
