Bill Maher's right. Bush Co. are a bunch of whiney little girls.

[devilgrrl]

He brought up our daughter... waaaa waaa waaaa :cry:

[The Traveler]

1. Wankers.

They are complete and total wankers.

[rumguy]

2. They're fuckin' weaklings

they piss and moan about everything....

[deadparrot]

3. That's just insulting to us women.

[Eloriel]

4. I agree -- I expect it from a basically misogynst guy like Maher

but not from DUers -- and in this case, apparently a FEMALE DUer.

:-(

And thank you for speaking up.

[porphyrian]

14. How about "wussie pieces of shit?" - n/t

[RobertSeattle]

5. True

I would say a bunch of whiney spoiled brats.

(I have to constantly watch for the "girl" putdowns myself - my father is a great 78 year old liberal, but throughout my whole childhood he used "girl" word a putdown - it's hard to outgrow)

[devilgrrl]

7. Why? We're not whiney little girls.

Whiney little girls end up like Lynne Cheney, Karen Hughes, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Condi Rice, etc...

It's hardly an insult.

11. I thought that Maher simply said "girl," or something similar.

Besides, why can't they be acting like whiny little boys? They are men, apparently. I don't get why they have to bring in the "girl" thing. Leave me, as a girl, out of it.

I'm not as angry/serious as my original message might seem. I meant it as, "Don't call those people girls, because I'd like to think girls are slightly better than this scum."

[devilgrrl]

13. I agree.

:-)

[The Traveler]

16. Or spoiled unspanked brats (n/t)

[The Traveler]

8. Not really

You're a woman, and women have their own strength. And there is nothing wrong with being a girl ... that is just a phase of life.

But for a self-advertised tough guy to ACT like a girl ... well, that's pathetic. And Maher knows the code us hairier types speak ... trust me. A lot of Bush supporting males get that message, and it weakens their resolve, and rightly so.

So I ask ya to grin and bear it and join the chorus ... they are schoolyard bullies ... they are girlie men !!!!

[deadparrot]

12. Again, my post was meant in large part as a joke.

[The Traveler]

15. Damn! Where did I put that sense of humor

of mine. Mislaid it again and totally missed! Man! That went right over my head!

:rimshot:

And the lady scores!

:headbang:

[deadparrot]

17. My fault, probably.

Happy with a Cards win, I probably didn't think about what I was typing, just assumed everyone else was on my wave of happiness.

:toast:

[The Traveler]

18. No. I projected on you

My own perceptions that women can be overly sensitive about such phrases. Frankly, I use many uncomplimentary adjectives to describe Bush ... wanker, woosie, mamma's boy, pussy ... I don't want to lose impact by bowing needlessly to the dictates of gender/political correctness but at the same time my little act of projection here tonight makes me think I need to shut up and examine my own thought processes and attitudes for a while.

[deadparrot]

19. All right...

we'll call it a draw.

[Zorra]

6. That's giving Bu$hCo far too much credit.

Sniveling little nazi hypocrites is much more appropriate.

[The Traveler]

9. And even more accurate. (n/t)

[ibegurpard]

10. Maher makes me cringe sometimes

Most of the time he's devastating and I agree with him unreservedly, but, oh, sometimes he embarrasses me into changing the channel.
