Update: Is it just me, or is an overtly sexist attack of this nature– something we haven’t seen in the campaign yet to my knowledge– just a little odd and almost tooperfect? She’s having a rough time of it in New Hampshure, she cries at a campaign stop, and along come two trogolodytic sexists whom she can vanquish with her grrrl power. Just seemed like a really odd attack to me. Heh, I think I’m “questioning the timing.” ÂÂ
Well, duh!  I tried to go with a “Bite My Ass” poster, and they wouldn’t let me in.ÂÂ
If Mary Katharine had the sense God gave a grapenut she’d realize maybe that nitpicking the Dem loser kinda maybe needs to take a backseat to developing an actual positive message on behalf of her own team.
Ok I just like saying stuff like that sometimes but also it’s true. It’s so very very true.
Given how closely Hillary! controls who gets into her meetings, this can only have been scripted.
Otherwise she’d have, you know, released the hounds.
Maybe she could have explained to me how to bite my own ass.
I think it’s easier to eat the peanuts out of your poo. But that’s just me.
Inauthentic. now, “show your tits” that would be sexist.
Oh. That link is less linky than maybe it could be.

Thanks, P.
Thanks, guys.
Oh. I didn’t know she was at the rally. What else is she gonna blog about I guess. I withdraw my intemperate remark except I think the sentiment about focus still kind of holds generally speaking because this media thing is kicking ass and taking names. They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan.
She should be trying to find out he these guys are instead of stopping at stating the obvious.
No, wait. Maybe she shouldn’t. It might hurt Hillary! and that would probably be bad at this point.
Watch for trays of home baked brownies at the next campaign stop, continuing the theme.
“If anyone out there would like me to explain to them how to iron their own shirt, I can do that.—
Hillary? Iron a shirt?
If I can’t iron a shirt as good (I was tempted to say “boob”) or better than Hillary, I deserve to die. And probably will if Bill reads this.
My mother (and most of her generation) would have squashed Hillary like a bug. She is a joke to the Nth power. I hate to sound sexist (which I probably am, according to Amanda), but Hillary is nothing more than a sock puppet for Bill and his limitless hubris, and, apparently, tiny little “thang”.
Amazing how two egotistical (or is it ego-testicle) people could survive as a “couple” for as long as they have.
Power! Power! Power! “I’ll pretend that I am doing you and that I love you (HA! HA! Love? what the F is that? You mean the way I feel about myself?) if it helps me get elected president”.
“And I know what’s best for the people of this country, you peons! AND YOU DON’T, YOU CAPITALIST MORONS!!! GIVE ME TEH F’ING MONEY!!! I”LL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF SNEAKERS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BUY!!!”
I love to hear Hillary say “We need to take this country back”, because she means we need to take it back to the days of Mao and Stalin. As I read on PW earlier, “Scratch a liberal and find a fascist”.
That’s what we need. Elitists like the Clintons telling us that we “am too stoopit to unerstan'” that AGW is REAL!
Or that I am too stupid to know that Mickey D’s is a once a month treat for my little boy. If you are stupid enough (or careless enough) to send your kids to McD’s EVERY night, I think you are begging the Darwin Principle to become the major force in your life – or even worse, to have John McCain or Hillary Clinton be your “mommy”.
Yup. She’s the one. Let’s all go to the polls and ELECT Chairman Clinto-Mao! She is a “channeller”, you know. I mean, how many people does Eleanor Roosevelt actually talk to?
ChairWOMAN Clinton! How cool!
I think I have a boner up to HERE!
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!
Itr’s been more than four hours, so I must go call my physician…
That was fuckin’ rad!
How did I know that the comments on this post were going to make me laugh?
I don’t think she knows how to iron a skirt. I seem to remember a blue one that needed a hot iron, and Bill had to do it.
Oh…that’s ‘shirt’ not ‘skirt.’ My bad.
Apparently Bill misunderstood Hillary! when she said, “Take it in your hand and then once it gets all hot, rub it in small circles.”
Cross posted over there:
A real troll…
would have been yelling:
Let Chelsea Talk!
Let Chelsea Talk!
Let Chelsea Talk!
And you need to be careful, feets, MK is at her best when the l33ts start thinking she is just a silly little girl.
Wonder if andy would venture a guess as to why Chelsea isn’t allowed to answer questions?
Hillary’s probably thrown a few things at Bill over the years, but I doubt an Iron has been one of them any time during the past 20. She’s too important to iron her own clothes now or stay home and bake brownies. She has people to do that for her.
I think a real sexist attack on Her Inevitableness would have involved demands that she launder a certain blue dress.
How best to remove splooge stains from colors? Timeless quandry.
You’re right, B Moe. I’m sorry. I was grumpy today.
I don’t know why this is even news. We’ve all known that she wears an iron skirt for years.
What? Oh, nevermind.
“Wonder if andy would venture a guess as to why Chelsea isn’t allowed to answer questions?”
She must really want to answer them. Otherwise they wouldn’t need to disallow her.
“She must really want to answer them. Otherwise they wouldn’t need to disallow her.”
Well, she is a girl, so she’s probably terrified of people and the public eye and questions and attention. As a girl, she should probably just stay at the house to avoid the risk of someone assaulting her with a question. Better safe than sorry. After all, she is a girl.
I did see all 5 Romney boys answering multiple questions on a national cable news show. Oh wait. They’re dudes.
The best thing to come out of this whole teary fiasco is the post and comments at Marcunt’s.
To recap, Marcunt posts that she is considering pulling her support for Edwards, because of comments that he made to be in some oblique way critical of Hillary! crying. What they all agree upon is the fact that public simpering is a good thing in a leader, and that anyone who disagrees is a sexist. You can’t get out of it by holding a man – say, Edwards – to the same standard re: crying as weakness, because then you are “gendering him†female and using him as a proxy for your anti-crying misogyny.
One particular highlight is the statement in the comments that John McCain is “not tough,†peeling back all the “spin†of ejecting from fighter jets and having his bones repeatedly broken because he wouldn’t say “uncle†to Charlie.
Then, the comments spin off into a discussion of whether Amerikkka is more sexist or racist – but that gets resolved after heated argument when they all realize that there is a limit to the amount one individual can hate Amerikkka, which is the point of the exercise, and therefore the comrades should not air their differences as to the particular reason at this time so long as each demonstrates sufficient hatred of Amerikkka.
Then, they return to the Leftist purity test of all three candidates, and it is resolved that Edwards is slightly but significantly more pure than Magical Chocolate Superman with Sprinkles, owing to the fact that he embraces more of their collective slacker-is-a-legitimate-lifestyle self perceptions (i.e. “populismâ€Â).
All throughout, the comments erect a neat dichotomy that I expect to see should Hillary! or Magical Chocolate Superman with Sprinkles get the nomination – namely, if you don’t vote for whichever, Amerikkka is irredeemably and hopelessly racist or sexist. Fun was had by all (me).
This year the Dems just happen to have a black man and a woman running, so now they think that these identifiers are actually relevant in why people may not vote for their candidate. In the past, they just assumed racism and sexism. Now, ignoring the fact that they do not apply their own standards internally (Support Edwards? SEXIST and RACIST!), they will continue to assume that voting against the Dem is a direct result of Fear of the Obama or the Patriarchy.
BTW – I feel kind of bad at how much fun it has been to watch Hillary in an electoral free fall this week.
Um, it is now widely thought to be a radio DJ stunt by Toucher and Rich (a show broadcasting out of Boston).
They did the exact same stunt a few years ago w/ Martha Burke at Augusta National back when Toucher worked at the Atlanta radio station 99x.
Picture of that incident:
http://www.zenmasterheinz.com/pics/shirt_iron.jpg
Can’t a single one of these DJ’s dig up Monica Lewinsky for a front row appearance at one of Hillary’s shin digs? How inept are morning radio DJ’s these days?
No fire in the belly.
“shin digs” being the lesser known second cousin of “cankles”
I just want to know what it is about men in crisp, well starched shirts that Hillary! and the f’inists have such a problem with? Sounds like THEY are the sexists to me.

I don’t like Leamus monoker for Marcotte. It’s way harsh, and maybe she deserves it, but I don’t like it.
I can’t imagine Hillary has the know-how to operate an iron.
heh
Marcooze?
happyfeet – You are soooooooooooo wrong.
SarahW – I had been taught that that particular word was beyond the pale, but then St. Amanda, Queen of the Va-Jay-Jay Warriors, informed us that cunt = asshole. Her standards should be able to be applied to her, no?
J’acooze happyfeet.
Marjayjay?
But the c word is different in the U.K. I think so maybe Greenwaldian Transrelativism applies, least if anyone complains it can I guess. But really I sometimes forget why Amanda is particularly contemptible. She’s so fringey that she’s more like a novelty item than a durable good.
Don’t be taken in by Amanda’s cunt. It’s out there in the lurch wanting for meat. It bristles and quivers like a hungry, stinky, sticky caged animal. It spits and belches aborted babies. Better keep your hands away from it’s mouth. It’ll snap at anything that vibrates!
You know Oregon is the Beaver State. Coincidence?
Do you have a penis? Because her fondest fantasy is a vagina dentata. ‘Nuff said.
Cuntemptible, please.
That’s nice writing, thor. Like you should write children’s books. You could just change it up to the Frumious Mandersnatch and I think for real it would be fun to read.
oh and ixnay on the abortion thinger cause that’s controversial
To be honest, I do have artistic aspirations. Vaginal pathology was not my chosen field.
I’m serious, I think that’s cool. I aspire to have artistic aspirations maybe later.
Marcotte is particularly contemptible because she desires my contempt. It is her raison detre. She needs to be held in contempt in order to feed her hunger for evidence that her worldview has but a shred of truth in it – viz, she pretends to fell a tree in the forest with her “prodigious†feminism supposedly out of earshot, all the while expecting an in kind response which she conveniently will label “misogyny,†thus confirming that the patriarchy is hard at work and arrayed against her.
Quite obviously, we are helping her, else she would point the finger for her abject lack of accomplishment at herself, and perhaps find a need for rolling out of bed before 10:30 a.m. Of course, the psychological shock of that existential funk might cause her to harm herself, and so, in a roundabout way, I have indeed saved Manhanda’s life. Alas, her sanity is a lost cause. I have yet received no thanks from her.
Also, she has referred to herself as a twat, which is, I suppose, empowerful. Cunt is in the taxonomical family with twat, and so is not a significant departure worthy of mention, and probably just as empowerful.
As to the “C” word, I once saw a study about different ethnic groups and their reaction to certain words.
It turns out that Blacks don’t find it particularly objectionable, and until recently, a good number of them didn’t even know what it meant. “Cunt” wasn’t even on their top ten list of insults.
The Brits have a different meaning entirely, and it is not considered to be in the top ten no-nos.
The group that hated it the most? Take a wild guess. Yup. White American women.
I don’t know why, but that’s a sure fire way to get almost any woman’s dander up. I can’t even think of a word for a man that seems even remotely as insulting. It’s surprising that there are so many appelations for a “va-jay-jay” (If Baba Wawa can say it, so can I), but only one of them over revs the female’s engine.
So that’s why I use “cunt” only sparingly, and try to restrict my use to those who are so loathesome (female AND male)that they truly deserve the monicker. I would have to say that I have no objection to applying it to Amanda.
Besides which, Amanda probably takes it as a compliment.
Amanda’s a dick.
“Amanda’s a dick.”
Amanda is extremely useful to everyone on the spectrum of the political right. I support and encourage her mounting public profile, and hope to provide her with fuel for her radical fire.
In this way Donohue did us all a disservice, in that he actually helped Edwards purge himself of her stain before she became a significant liability. Would that he had been neck-and-neck with Obama heading into Super Tuesday when the bomb dropped . . .
I move to open the floor for nominations!
And I nominate “Gleen”
“I can’t even think of a word for a man that seems even remotely as insulting.”
I think women being called a “cunt” is a tradeoff for not getting punched in the face, as is so often the case when another man does not appreciate something you have done.
My knowledge of Feminist Scholastics tells me that this fact is yet another example of misogyny, in that men don’t deem women worthy of a good right cross to the mouth. Also, if they did, this would also be misogyny.
P.S. Anyone know how many misogynists can dance on the head of a pin?
And the comedy. The comedy has suffered a terrible blow in all this. It coulda been a contender.
Alec – Is that similar to the way that the Israeli’s are racist because they do not rape Palestinian women?
There will be no shortage of comedy. None. Between Barack “I will change your hope for change and change for hope and all that drivel” Obama and that lovable, cuddly wittle Hillary. Sexist if you vote for one. Racist if you vote for the other. Then we have John “I am an angry Metrosexual” Edwards and all of his various Americas.
These folks today are merely a drop in the bucket. A foreshadowing of things to come.
“Alec – Is that similar to the way that the Israeli’s are racist because they do not rape Palestinian women?”
Pretty much. Also, despite the protestations of feminists, women with goatees aren’t prime targets for rape.
phew! that’s nice to know.
