Imagine a woman....

[Stonepounder]

There is a meme floating around on Facebook that starts out "Imagine a woman who showed up unprepared, sniffling like a cock addict, who interrupted her opponent over 70 times..." The net snoops had to do some work to track down the original author and get to the full quote. There's a great bit on KOS about it. It is well worth a read.

“This debate has brought on almost PTSD-like symptoms in me. Any woman with a successful career has been repeatedly, numbingly treated the same way Hillary was last night. I am at the point in my own career in which I take no more of this special breed of alpha-male behavior. So far, I have always simply outsmarted them or waited until the inevitable self-destruction happened.

That every single person watching last night hasn’t repudiated this sick throwback is profoundly depressing to me. Let’s play a game: Imagine a woman who showed up unprepared, sniffling like a coke addict and interrupting her opponent 70 times. Let’s further imagine that she’s had 5 kids by 3 men, was a repeated adulterer, had multiple bankruptcies, paid zero federal taxes and rooted for the housing crisis in which many thousands of families lost their homes. Wait… there’s more: she has never held any elected office in her life and evangelical Christians love her just as she is.

Right. It’s impossible to imagine such a scenario. Because it would never happen, in any country. Last night proved to me that whatever I and other women accomplish, it will never be enough. Any gaseous chimpanzee can simply interrupt as much as he wants and throw some manure for good measure. He is a documented pathological liar, yet SHE has the reputation. He has a team of high-end accountants and lawyers who game the system in his favor, yet SHE is called a crook. He is literally nothing without his daddy’s “small loan” of 14 million, yet he is a candidate for president of the United States. He’s a parasite on the American middle class, and the GOP that nominated him has become a metastatic tumor on our democracy.

I’m not a fan of Hillary but, screw it… I’m voting for her.”
