House Stenographer Explains Her Bizarre Outburst in an E-mail to Fox Producer
Dianne Reidy, the stenographer who went on a strange rant on the House floor Wednesday night, has now made a public comment, in an e-mail sent to Fox News producer Chad Pergram to explain why she was screaming about God while House members were on the floor.
Greta Van Susteren posted the e-mail on her Gretawire blog, and this is what Reidy had to say about her unexpected outburst.
For the past 2 and 1/2 weeks, the Holy Spirit has been waking me up in the
middle of the night and preparing me (through my reluctance and doubt) to deliver
a message in the House Chamber.
That is what I did last night

You'd think two and a half weeks of preparation would produce something a little more sensical.

FOX News zombie as well? Any ounce of compassion I had to pretend I had for the woman is gone.

To the untrained eye, Reidys outburst had all the markings of a mental breakdown, but a minister wrote the Fox News morning program arguing that the woman was simply sharing a communique from on high.
It was not a mental episode, host Steve Doocy read from the email. What she was doing was known as an exercise of the gifts of the spirit where she was. She had brought a warning and a message from God.
It wasnt just the Lords outrage over Obamacare that got Fox & Friends viewers riled up, they were upset that guards seized Reidy for sharing her beliefs.
Amazingly, this religious and obviously a sweet lady gets fed up and speaks her mind, something we all have tried to do, Doocy read from a second email. She brings up our dear Lord and she gets a mental evaluation? I think it should be the other way around. And then this person goes on to list the people who should be checked out.
