It’s the new tone, you see. But before we get all outraged, remember: conservative women lose the right even to be called “women,” much less be treated as humans, once these harpies of false consciousness sell out their sex and decide that they, and not a cabal of politicized women’s studies academics who’ve claimed jurisdiction over the entirety of what comes to constitute authentic womanhood, are best able to decide what’s in their own interests.
Individual sovereignty is so passe Enlightenment, after all. Today, to be a real independent woman is to throw your power behind a group narrative and its self-appointed spokespeople, who for your own good demand strict ideological adherence to the political cause. And it is they who will dictate what’s best for you — and what role a woman should play in society.
— Which, hey, that’s far better than being under the thumb of a patriarchy that never really appreciated a woman’s independence. Because, well — just because.
Solidarity!

So the audience sang the song spontaneously without any sound coming from the band? Who knew?
The whole NASCAR “outrage” was ridiculous. All of the posters wailing about “respect” were the same ones who were singing “Nah nah nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah…Hey! Hey! Good-bye!” when the Bushes were getting on Marine One after the _resident was inaugurated.
As for Jimmy Fallon: who even watches that show? I din’t know it was still on.
Meanwhile, over at one of the Bigs, some stalwart Wisconsonites have uncovered a state senator running a vote fraud ring. As cover, they used a homeless shelter operated by her mother. The shelter’s name? “Mama Delta’s Lovehouse”.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but now I understand why O’Keefe’s stings went over so easily.
Which were the same ones booing him during the inauguration.
Pusillanimity is contagious. Huh. Who knew?
So it’s time for a Sir Mix-a-Lot/Michelle Mash-up, is that what I’m hearing?
Ska is right up there with rap on the list of genres most likely to have me turn the radio channel.
That, sir, is just plain racist.
Flashback to junior high.
I think any republican primary candidate that goes on shows like that are very unwise.
It’s probably necessary in the general, to what should be our shame, but really, what do they expect?
New insult alert: “hebetudinous laggards,” from IBD.
Woo-hoo!
So it’s time for a Sir Mix-a-Lot/Michelle Mash-up
Along with “Fat Bottom Girls” and we’ve got a winner.
When the TEA Parties first started organizing, some participants wore tea bags on their shirts and hats.
Then CNN’s Anderson Cooper did a bit about “tea baggers” with a lot of wink wink snigger snigger
Most TP participants had no clue about what “tea bagging” was in its urban definition. However, to this day, the Left will smirk and say “well you guys called yourself tea baggers first, so get over it, we’re doing nothing wrong by calling you that”
I guarantee Bachmann had no clue about the music, but if she objects now, someone will defend it because – “well she didn’t object to it THEN.”
Chunkles is the word for the little bits of barf NASCAR fans found in their mouths as they guffawed and puked simultaneously in the presence of MichelleJill intoning “Gentlemen-Rednecks! Start your Hydro-Carbon Sucking, World-Destroying Engines, cretins”.

Ah, Andrew Malcolm!! LATimes loss is IBD’s gain.
Some people say Obama is aloof. Aloof? The guy is in geosynchronous orbit, looking down his nose at the petty little world beneath his gaze.
heh.
sdferr, there were people trying the “They were booing the Military! line on for size. Nice try, losers.
Sowell; asking the far behind in polling Perry and Backmann to throw their support to Cain?
Jimmy Fallon has a show? I thought he was doing credit card commercials these days, like Alec Baldwin.
Which, they’re both putting the “What’s in yourrr wallet!?” Visigoths out of work and I object to that for a whole ‘nother set of reasons.
Meanwhile people are erupting into seizures over Rush Limbaugh using the racially charged slur “uppity-ness” to refer to Michelle Obama’s behavior in addressing the NASCAR fans.
This is totally okay though, because conservative women and liberal women we’ve thrown under the bus have lost the right to protection. (Hi Monica!)
Try to imagine if we approached a baseball season the same way as the Presidential Campaign. The sports writers would convince most fans to demand the withdrawal of all except one or two teams per league and then the first few per-season games would decide who goes to the World Series many months later.
what has she lied about?
This is true geoffb. It’s only a manifestation of the wise telling the unwise what the outcome of the “collective” (I like aggregated better, but keep “collective” for the sake of fidelity to the wise’s views) desires of the unwise will be, months prior to the unwise having made any decision as to their desires at all. This is indicative of an exceptional wisdom indeed on the part of the wise, a proposition with which they will heartily agree.

It doesn’t matter. She’s a traitor to the “gender”. (gads how I’ve grown to hate that word)
Jimmy Fallon is something of a traitor to his gender too I think
Jimmy Fallon has a gender? Who knew?
He’s a little bit of a fop, I think. I saw him on an episode of Top Chef last year with his chubby wife. Maybe she picked out the music for Michele’s entrance?
Hebe-tudinous?
ANTI-SEMITES!!!!!1!1!!1!!!11!1!!!!eleventy-gazillion!!!
Skinny dude, chubby wife? I smell f-hag.
Or, as Adam Carolla would put it, fruit fly.
