She was a jackass because she went in there to spout off her opinion and pooh-pooh everyone else's opinion. She was rude, arrogant and dismissive.

Belzer was also rude. He apologized for it, and let the congresswoman state her case time and again without interrupting after his initial outburst.

She did no such thing. Every time someone brought up a different point of view, she ridiculed them.

She was a jackass. Just a jackass that felt no need to apologize for her lowbrow behavior.

So, one member of the panel was repectful and let the others state their views without ridicule. One member was rude and dismissive, but apologized and then behaved himself. One member was rude and dismissive and felt no need to apologize for it.

Like I said, a jackass.
