It's not the men. It's Hillary's Fault.

The great Rebecca Solnit:

"Harvey Weinstein is Hillary Clinton’s fault, we have learned from many sources. So is eczema and the Civil War and the fact that your child refuses to learn to tie shoelaces and sticks to Velcro shoes. The hairs and stuff that get caught in the Velcro are also Hillary Clinton’s fault, and she could have passed legislation against them if she cared instead of being uncaring. It is also the soon-to-be-divorced Mrs. Weinstein’s fault that her husband is an alleged rapist, except that it is Hillary Clinton’s fault, except that it is the fault of the victims for choosing to be small, young female victims looking for work at the outset of their cinematic careers instead of being Matt Damon, a choice open to us all."

... that thread?? Priceless zingers. Also nostalgic - a lot of names no longer here after the squirrel/Moose wars.

What ever happened to Cheese Sandwich? Should we ask Natasha and Boris how he's doing these days?

I saved it so I could look it up when I needed a laugh. The first one that jumped out was when someone queried why Hillary didn't stop the Challenger from exploding, I laughed my head off.

or whatever female shows a chance of getting the nomination.

As a corollary remember that which is not Hillary's fault is Obama's fault.

my head is getting sore from all these mental gymnastics.

Anyway, if Hillary is responsible for Weinstein as well as everything else wrong with the world - we should have elected her. Gee, but that woman can multi-task!

Never mistook him for a great guy but he just did a show in Seattle with a friend of mine (Nov 9 air date I think) and I don't want to be pissed at him. Oh well...

but i guess this includes people like Batali and others who supported HIllary so he could also blame her for them.

Have you watched his show? Read his books? How often does he sit around and yak with great women chefs? I'd chalk that up as an "almost never".

You can't blame fat assholes for sexual harassment. And just like guns it's never the right time to talk about it.
