So now we're sexist

[Johonny]

It's also possible that you and your husband and his "friends" are evil, stupid, greedy and the worst thing to happen to the USA since I've been alive. Wait I think that's more than possible. I hope all young women choose role models that love their countrymen more than their corporations.


"That's possible, I think that's possible," Mrs. Bush said when asked on NBC's "Today Show" whether criticism that Miers lacked intellectual heft were sexist in nature. She said Miers' accomplishments as a lawyer made her a role model to young women.

1. What's wrong with being sexy? - n/t

[Hobarticus]

5. It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none.

None.

[bunkerbuster1]

7. none more blacker.

Well, I think it looks like death.

[Hobarticus]

12. Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff

you know what we do?

[porphyrian]

15. You go up to eleven? - n/t

[Hobarticus]

18. We go up to eleven. n/t

[cynatnite]

2. No, the conserve repukes bitching about the nomination are sexist...

:evilgrin:

16. Most of them, yes........

some are just pissed off because they didn't get the fight they so badly wanted with the Democrats. They just love stomping Democrat butt into the ground, and lately the Democrats have been more than willing to oblige. They wanted to do it again but bush didn't give them the chance by nominating a theo-fascist in Republican's clothing. He chose crony over phony and they're pissed.

Republicans calling Democrats sexist (if indeed that's where laura's barb was aimed) holds as much water as a sieve. Didn't bush remark to that Irish reporter something about "talking about the speck in someone's eye when there's a log in yours", or some horseshit like that? :eyes: Pot, meet kettle. The slugs are as sexist a group that inhabits the planet.

3. This is the Laura Bush who killed her boyfriend with her car.

[gatorboy]

4. A role model?

Yes, young ladies, you too can be an old maid and work for the worst president in American history!

[beam me up scottie]

14. "old maid" ?

No sexism here, not at all...

[gatorboy]

23. Doh! I knew that was going to get me in hot water.

No offense to anyone not partaking into the world of marriage...I meant it more as a swipe at the right that likes nothing better than having heir women barefoot and preggers....
If it was a woman from the left, the conservatives would be making the "lesbian" comments by now....

[beam me up scottie]

27. I thought that might be it.

Sorry, I just couldn't let it get by.

I work with freepers and they figure she's either an "old maid" or a lesbian or both so I'm a little defensive.

:hi:

[gatorboy]

28. No problem!

I'm not as caveman-ish as I look! :hi: :P

[all.of.me]

6. and laura's a feminist.

maybe this woman can be a role model for young girls, but that does not mean she will be a good judge.

[CatWoman]

8. I've known that shit about you all along!!!!

:D

[Cleita]

9. Mrs. Bush hasn't a clue about what she's talking about

and I don't think she really cares. She just parrots what they wrote down for her to say.

[stanwyck]

25. Totally agree.

She seems to be a throwback to the Mamie Eisenhawer type of First Lady. Just stand around and smile.
By the way, how's Laura's campaign to end gang violence going? Afterall, her husband "could think of no one more qualified."

[gkhouston]

10. ?? I'm a woman

and I get the impression that Miers is not overburdened with intellect. Does that make me sexist, or observant?

[Johonny]

17. No

I think it clearly means you're self loathing that brings out your own self hatred by attacking others.

Right wing talking points are so easy to write.

[gkhouston]

19. but you're going to have to "work hard"

on learning how to mis-spell them. ;-)

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. Critisism from the right?

Is it critisism from the right that is sexist or is the from the left?

Or could it be her complete lack of qualifications that have both sides wondering what Jr./Rove are thinking?

Who asked this idiotic leading question anyway?

[jane_pippin]

13. Is there a word like "sexist" that means "biased against idiocy?"

Because that's really all it is, and that's one "ist" I'd be ok with.

[porphyrian]

20. This is such a meaningless statement.

Of course, a million idiots barely paying attention will think she said it was sexism, not that it was "possible." It's also possible Miers is an alien, but it's not fucking likely. I guess irresponsible journalism is OK if the boss tells you to do it.

We can make baseless, meaningless claims, too. How's this:
I'm sure there is no truth to the rumor that Trent Lott enjoys wearing a vibrating butt plug during Congressional hearings. It's possible, but I'm sure it's nothing more than a rumor.

[hippiechick]

21. Someone should refer Pickles to Myra Bradwell ...

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=83&invol=130

... and while they're at it, ask Ms Miers if she's familiar with the same Myra Bradwell. My guess is she's never heard of her. :mad:

[Tiggeroshii]

22. How do we know they weren't talking about people like Coulter, Limbaugh

and the other talking right wing (shit)heads that speak out against her? I wouldn't be surprised if THEY were sexist. Besides, they're still louder than the dems anyhow!

[JerseygirlCT]

24. Same crap they pulled with Rice

Sexist and racist then. Just sexist now.

In fact, come to think of it, same crap they pulled with Clarence Thomas...

26. Well, if a pianist plays the piano, then

Oh, never mind.
