Heh – I found the recent invocation of the word “whore” by an employee of Jerry Brown’s campaign to describe Meg Whitman amusing but largely unworthy of comment. But check out how the National Organization of Women first condemns Brown, then weasels out of it.
“NOW calls on Brown to fire any member of his staff who uses this word or any hate speech against women,” she said.
Subsequently, O’Neill amended that position:
“We are not saying anyone on the Brown campaign be fired. What I should
have made clear was that anyone who says the “W” word from here on should
be fired. What happened last week was a teachable moment for all of us.
We can all agree that the word is offensive and should be retired.”
Got it — from “here on.” Glad we got that cleared up.
If ‘the “W” stands for “Witch” you’d better not mess with my girl Christine O’Donnell! That girl is cute with a Capital “Q”!
Yesterday I had a dream where I was in the English countryside and a couple of Weiner Dogs went up a hill to a house where they were Married by Captain Kangaroo. At the end of the dream they came back down the hill and were walking around at my feet while I congradulated them. I woke up feeling very emotional and happy.
It’s interesting, because NOW seems to explicitly be saying that saying “whore” a month ago was not grounds for firing.
Also, I caught part of O’Donnell’s debate yesterday and it looks to me that her head is getting pretty pudgy. I certainly agree that the only reason to vote for female politician is her attractiveness, but, in O’Donnell’s case, I think it is waning. Of course, she’s better looking than Meg Whitman. Arf! Arf!
