OK. What’s the lesson here for Jonah Goldberg. Don’t invite two people who just broke up to sit on your panel. ON C-SPAN!!!
Libertarian panelist Todd Seavey blindsides his ex-girlfriend and Social conservative Catholic blogger Helen Rittelmeyer, and ripped into her during a panel discussion on C-SPAN.
This is the one of the weirdest and most awkward moments I’ve seen in a long time. I gotta’ say kudos to his Helen Rittelmeyer for keeping her cool.
“There are 10,000 panels like this a year in Washington, D.C. — 9,999 aren’t memorable.” said Goldberg. “I wish this was one of those.”

Meltdown? Awkward? I don't get it? Did you post the right video?

Wow. He just completely discredited any professional opinion he may have on that panel. He may have been trying to belittle her, but in reality screwed himself. She should have just said "Keep talkin' Todd! Cause the more you talk the better I look!" Gee. I wonder why their not together anymore? He was a catch!

And at that moment she congratulated herself for getting out of the relationship before she was stuck with that bozo for life.

I would have liked to hear the rest of it – what she thought was out of bounds – like the asinine comments that creep just made.

I'm with anon 10:31am on that one. This guy was a total creep- even if what he said was true! The rant made him sound like a whiny, jilted, sore-loser kind of ex-lover. He managed to turn what should have been a spirited, professional debate into a Maury episode.

Just one more reason why I will never get divorced. Dating is hell!
