Our Lovely Congress
 

yawn. Don't you have anything better to do.

Congress must be doing a-ok if that's the worst you can find.

Eat a dick.

If that were a republican - if that were Sarah Palin saying "governor" you'd be all over this. It goes to show how much better than others these people think they are.

Who said that's "the worst I can find"? What part of your ass was that living in before you yanked it free? I saw no other appropriate thread for Congress acting like douchebags so I started one.

no I wouldn't.. I didn't even know that was a democrat.. I didn't pay that much attention. She's was a snarky bitch in the clip.. big deal. It's a yawner.

i like the clip of the congressman comparing republicans to klingons better. post that one.

I'd say she's an annoying bitch. But that would be a far cry from trying to solely use it as an example to demonstrate failed leadership.

Go masturbate to some more right-wing radio talk and think of more ways to put some polish on it you simpleton.

don't these people realize there are cameras there? i hope she referred to him as "brigadier general" whenever she addressed him.

but a person made a fair comment on politico that she may have been justified if he referred to male senators as "senator."

but i have a thing with pointing out latent sexism so who knows

edit: the more i think about it, the more i am inclined to think she was reacting against the sexism that is consistently shown and consistently goes unrecognized in american politics. of course i could be wrong, but americans hate woman politicians. always. all of them.

He called the male senator "Sir" repeatedly, and she flipped out at the first "ma'am"

Are you that much of a fucking idiot? Who says I'm using it as an example of "failed leadership"? Why do you ALWAYS hyperbolize everything on here to be more than they are?

And yes, all I do is listen to and agree with right-wing radio, which explains my last two presidential votes for Badnarik and Obama.

yeah, she seems like a pretty annoying bitch

oh yeah? where'd you see that? if that's the case then yeah she's just a dumb bitch.

flipping channels last night, not sure which show it was on.. CNN/FOX/MSNBC are all possible (ok probably not MSNBC)

What a bitch...

why do you keep acting like your vote represents your "independence"

you turned on obama the day after the election

I used to think that US Senate Barbara Boxer was an experienced legislator with a solid progressive record on the issues. But then I read this Politico article in which various anonymous people criticize her “abrasive personal style” and “outspoken partisan liberal” demeanor. Big trouble! And then I got to thinking, I recall having read similar critiques of Judge Sonia Sotomayor. And Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate and now as Secretary of State has been subjected to similar criticism. Nancy Pelosi, too.

You’ve really got to wonder what the deal is with the Democratic Party that every woman who comes forward into a position of power and influence is a shrill, castrating harridan. I mean, what are Democrats thinking? What poor judgment! Doesn’t everyone know that politics is a business in which the only people who get ahead are soft-spoken sweethearts like Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Schumer? Somehow male politicians have managed to figure this out. What’s stopping the women? - Yglesias

It's sad. This is what happens to women when they are lured in by feminist ideals. They become mean bitches who refuse to cook and have sex. Then they enter menopause.

Starla relates

If this were a male senator, you guys wouldn't be calling him derisive names.

I don't know why I post here sometimes.

No, I'm pretty sure if a male senator disrespected a general that way, we'd be talking about him too.

Maybe you should go post somewhere else.

no he's absolutely right

male congressmen do this kind of stuff on a daily basis and we do not talk about it here

Like who?

pick a republican

how about the waterloo guy for starters

I may be way off base here, but I do not believe Napoleon Bonaparte was ever elected to the United States congress.

I'm no fan of the Republican party but Trots has started to sound like the Whoopi Goldberg appearance on South Park "I hate Republicans (laughter). Repulicans are stupid (laughter). I hate Republicans."

I wish I had a clip.

No I really don't. I'm not a feminist at all. I'd rather sit at home, be married...barefoot and pregnant and my husband be a man, rather than some neutered afterthought of the marital relationship.

bardy?
