Joke? Serious? Want to know what's really funny? .....

....The idea that there aren't beautiful woman who truly love intelligent men for reasons other than money. I happen to LOVE me some geek-man. I may happen to be a looker right now, but we all grow old and wrinkled. Who cares? That's just a pleasing and lucky arrangement of DNA. I like them chubby, balding, too skinny, hairy, attractive and unattractive, so long as there is substance! Do you think all beautiful women are vapid, shallow, empty-headed beings constantly looking for who is going to finance their next shopping binge? Look at all of you open minded, liberal, intellectuals, men and women alike, perpetuating fairytales about beauty and beasts. I shake my head at the whole discussion.

Original article: Quote of the day

I'm going to hold my breath until I turn Blue..States a Blood Rage Rage

I used to have great respect for the Clintons, but now I can't stand to see their surname in a headline. Mrs.Clinton manages to derail feminism, not advance it when she behaves like a Homecoming Queen having a girls locker room hissy fit after failing to also be elected Prom Queen. If she was our symbol on how women can make it to the top, is she any less a symbol of how we deal with defeat? {PS PUMAS this mean YOU too} The Tantrums {Sexism in the media!!}, The Threats, {I'm going to hold my breath until I turn Blue..States a Blood Rage Rage}...

In my opinion, Clinton is not this generations Jeannette Rankin. Yes, it was wonderful to see a woman go for the job. Women Power. Yes, she would be qualified for such a position. But guess what ladies? I still think Obama is a better candidate. I don't like her for reasons that have nothing to do with her sex. I did not believe her to be the best choice. And I am tired of other so called feminists treating me as if I'm some silly fluttery GIRL that has to be saved from her unenlightenment. So how will I, a new feminist, fight the inequalities symbolized by Hillary Clinton's defeat?

Staying far away from Embittered PUMAS and continue to remember the feminism is about equality, not entitlement.

Really? They were planning on getting married BEFORE this?

They also planned to have a "really bitchin" prom night, and get "really loaded" in Cabo, and have "like a totally SICK post grad summer Vay-Cay." I can't beleive they are letting these poor kids get married. Who else thinks that the wedding will be called off as soon as they don't win the White House? This is the CRAZIEST shit I have EVER seen in my life.

Gag. Retch. Not seeing the Forest for the Trees, The Politician for the Palin.

Aw, Camille really? There are so many absurd statements in your "article" I don't even know where to begin. Liberal bloggers making it all up, huh? Yeeeeeeah. Except it's all true. you won't believe it until you see evidence? Do you read Salon or just milk their money writing article aimed for negative attention seeking?

Bridge to Nowhere- everything she says is a lie

Troopergate- please, read today's article

Total lack of experience- how are liberal bloggers making that up? and WHO exactly are you writing for again?

Everything you typed about abortion- I'm sorry I was trying to avoid swearing but that is BULLSHIT. You can FEEL how ever you want about abortion, but yes, to truly be a feminist you have to believe that women have a CHOICE to make their own determination. I don't think that all feminist must believe in abortion, but they MUST believe in choice.

You are so wrapped up in your "feminism" that you refuse to see the forest for the trees. The politician for the Palin.

Seems we know where the editors stand

It seems the only two responses that are favored are ones ridiculing Juan Cole. Oh down trodden middle. I feel your pain, I do. I feel like you are the abused children of this government {and you are, make no mistake}, begging the rest of us to be Quiet when Daddy is mad. Look at the floor. Say nothing. Don't call attention to yourself. And we lefties just won't stop talking. Calling Daddy a rotten bully. Mocking him through bloodied mouths. You do realize though that we won't get beat any less for our silence? Is it so absurd to worry that this country is heading for a theocracy when most of our truly polarizing issues are linking to a Christian God? In a land where our current President has said repeatedly that he does not consider atheists to be able to be considered patriotic Americans?

Fi. Nal. LY.

THANK YOU!!!! New heights of stupidity encompasses MOST of the election coverage. Thank you from keeping me from screaming profanity at the sky once again, Glenn.

I'd like to run the 10K with your Mom...

So we can both snark at the foolish little baggage that is Sarah Palin. These comments are so so true. They are going to Pi$$ off lots of ladies but they are true. They like her because she seems like one of them. She seems like the kind of gal you could get loaded with, and go bowling.These may be a better qualities for VP of your PTA than of your country, however. Here's why I think she's doing well: We all want to play with White House Barbie!

Truth = Gaffe ?

"Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am."

This is very true. Isn't the whole idea is to pick from a whole GROUP of qualified people? I mean....did somebody think Biden was the only guy capable? I don't think ANYONE could argue that Sen Biden or Sen Clinton are INCAPABLE of the job. And I think it's kind, respectful and honest of him to not act like an arrogant ignoramus and say otherwise. More of the weird non-news.
