Bunch of racists – calling out Senator Scott like that, they only pointed him out by name because he’s black. They called Nikki Haley out cause she’s a woman of color as well. Racists!
And in other news, water is still wet and the sun is still hot.
Nope. Boehner blotted out the sun in my neighborhood. Demanded retention of the house, even after he’s voted out by his constituents, leadership. If he gets it, he said he would ask Oshitforbrains if he could turn it back on again.
how exactly do you “SLAME” somebody? come on mr editor.

Those media male chauvinists are at it again. Tears flow at the thought! They’re bullying us, they’re misrepresenting sexy women, and they’re ignoring them. They’re doing all that at once – and believe me, that must be hard to do. Go ahead, girls, clench your fists and stamp your little feet.
A headline from Sunday’s LA Timesblog screams, “Is the media keeping women out of politics?” Indeed, it seems the media establishment must be worried about this. Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Lt. Governor Gavin, has a new film at the Sundance festival that once again accuses the old boys of keeping women out. “If you think we’re in the midst of historic times for women in politics with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and even Sarah Palin on the national stage,” notes blogger Amy Kaufman, “one documentary at Sundance is urging you to think again.”
“Slameing” is part of “a roundup of media clips depicting women as promiscuous or catty.” To provide commentary on this, “a stellar lineup of prominent women leaders and academics” are brought in, including Katie Couric and Gloria Steinem. After the showing of the film, actress Geena Davis conducted a town-hall style presentation, featuring “statistics about how poorly women come across in children’s media,” and someone from Common Sense Media promised (threatened?) that “Slameing” would be shown to various media moguls.
“’We have to shame them, period. It’s disgusting,’ he said, almost shouting.” He’s into the spirit of it all. And the Lt. Governor remarked that when he showed his wife a new Parks and Recreation Department logo of a child on a swing, he dutifully added a ponytail to the picture. “We just changed it,” he told her, “because you sensitized me to these gender issues.”
Lovely. I’m starting to feel all warm inside, aren’t you?
Exactly who are the women being so unfairly treated by these big, bad media giants? Are they Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, or could they – “even” – be Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or Nikki Haley?
They voted against it because Oblamer only agreed to something that said we are going to do this all over again in 3 months. Imagine that….the president agreeing to something that makes absolutely no sense and brings absolutely no resolve to the problem.
