Members of the Perry County District school board, located in Perryville, Missouri, voted 4-3 in favor of asking for fellow board member, Mark Gremaud’s resignation.

The vote came about as the result of Gremaud’s comments, directed toward a female board member, Kathy Carron, during an earlier school board meeting.

“Kathy, you are just a woman, the only thing you know is laying on your back with your legs in the air splayed.”

According to KFVS, dozens of parents and teachers attended the special board meeting, many of them to show support for Gremaud.

4-3?!

[SummerSnow]

1. omg!

If this jerk is married his wife knows how he views her.

[woodsprite]

2. Like Robin Williams said, God gave man 2 heads and only blood enough to make one work at a time.

Apparently this man needs a transfusion. Can't believe some people openly supported him after he made that comment.

[exboyfil]

3. 3 voted for this cretin?

To even think like that is bad enough.

[phantom power]

9. Plenty of people think exactly like him, they just don't fuck up and say it out loud.

[RKP5637]

55. That is what is concerning about Trump, he says what millions of people think. These are

very dangerous times. I feel the US is at a crossroads and I fear what direction it could take.

[Warpy]

4. There were three people who voted to keep that oinker?

Sending him back to the sty he came from should have been unanimous!

[Solly Mack]

5. and no one cold-cocked him?

[DefenseLawyer]

6. "Jane, you ignorant slut"

Idiocracy is here already.

[exboyfil]

10. Is this funny anymore?

I remember being shocked but laughing about it when I was 16. I don't find it the least bit funny now - just crude and hope my daughters never view the skits.

[DefenseLawyer]

12. It was a parody of a typical know it all man

I would say back then it was equal parts funny and shocking, although as to the humor I'm sure there was a bit of an "Archie Bunker" aspect to it; as I'm sure some people did laugh just because he called a woman a slut and not because it was lampooning a pompous ass.

At 16 you probably didn't get the joke exactly (no offense) but basically they would argue and she would clean his clock and that was the only "comeback" he could come up with.

21. It was a parody of a "60 Minutes" segment.

For the younger people:

Sixty Minutes, the CBS show, had a 2 minute argument segment called "Point/Counterpoint". It featured James Kilpatrick arguing with Nicholas von Hoffman, and later, Shana Alexander. Kilpatrick had the pompous air of a know-it-all, like William F. Buckley, but with a gruff tone. Dan Aykroyd's bark at Jane Curtin: "Jane, you ignorant slut" was a parody of that.

It was "mansplaining" before the word existed. Basically, an ad hominem (or ad feminem) attack.



From Wikipedia:
His obituary in The Washington Post (August 17, 2010) noted: "His stature as a writer, lecturer and commentator on public-affairs shows led to his appearances on the 60 Minutes segment "Point/Counterpoint" in the 1970s. On the program, Mr. Kilpatrick debated such policy issues as family planning and the Vietnam War against liberal authors Nicholas von Hoffman and later Shana Alexander.[citation needed]

"If ever I heard an oversimplified fairy tale of the last years in Vietnam, I just heard one from you," Mr. Kilpatrick said in one exchange. They peppered their remarks with "Oh, come on, Jack" and "Now see here, Shana". Later years saw even-more combative talk shows, including Crossfire.

The debates Kilpatrick had with Alexander were so prominent in American culture that they were famously satirized on Saturday Night Live, with Jane Curtin taking Alexander's role on "Weekend Update" opposite Dan Aykroyd's version of Kilpatrick – "Jane, you ignorant slut."[8] ENDQUOTE

[Art_from_Ark]

52. I remember the Kilpatrick-Alexander "Point/Counterpoint" debates

And then they were replaced with Andy Rooney and his musings about coat hangers, and I lost nearly all interest in 60 Minutes after that.

[whathehell]

24. I'm a few years older than you and I never found it funny, even back then..

I never got the joke, and still don't.

It just seemed like a dumb excuse to use the word "slut".

[Lydia Leftcoast]

39. Apparently it was partly an in-joke among the cast

Jane Curtin was the only cast member who was married and who didn't take part in all the hard partying and drug use that the rest of the case indulged in.

She was so definitely NOT an "ignorant slut," and that added an in-joke dimension to the parody of "Point/Counterpoint."

[whathehell]

59. That sounds credible to me,

although I've always questioned the wisdom of using in-jokes, especially

huge, non-subtle ones like this, with an obviously "out" audience.

[jberryhill]

53. The point was that is how a conservative man argues

It was not "Dan Akroyd" saying that. It was the character portrayed by Dan Akryod saying that. Of course it is a loathsome thing to say. The point was that his character was loathsome.

He portrayed a lot of hideous character types.

There's nothing funny about selling hazardous toys to children, so why is this a 'comedy sketch':

It would not be funny to sell a bag of broken glass as a toy to children. His character itself is the object of ridicule.

[sharp_stick]

7. If she was my wife

Gremaud would pretty quickly find out how hard it is to walk with a broken kneecap.

What a petty piece of shit.

[olddots]

8. how long before he gets a gig in repukian politics ?

[staggerleem]

19. Pretty sure he HAD one!

The question is (in Todd Aikin's home state) how far that attitude can carry him in the Repukian party.

[msongs]

11. maybe he is talking about aerobics or yoga? nt

[riversedge]

13. lordy lordy=many attended to support him!!

[kcr]

16. Because he drove a bus.

Apparently that's all you have to do to get a free pass to treat everyone around you like shit in that town. How crazy is that?

[Oilwellian]

14. Gremaud has no business being around children

Especially little girls.

Fucking animal.

[RKP5637]

56. Verbalizing that in a public forum, imagine the thoughts lurking in this fools mind. I agree

with you. His remark is likely indicative of some pretty bizarre stuff running around in his mind.

[SoapBox]

15. WTF is right.

[Dont call me Shirley]

17. The only petty ones in Perryville are Gremaud and his supporters. Glad the Board has 4

reasonable members.

[REP]

18. School official doesn't know the difference between "lie" and "lay," either

How to embarrassing for him: to say such a stupid thing in such a hick-like manner.

[SheilaT]

33. You beat me to it.

When I become Dictator of North America, there will be mandatory grammar school for everyone.

[REP]

35. May I be your Secretary of Enforcement and Punishment?

I envision a punishment of having to internalize Fowler (British edition) and Strunk & White by reading and force-feeding, and if necessary, suppository.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

40. Yes, when I am Education Czarina, everyone will be required to

learn the difference between "lie" and "lay" and between "lose" and "loose." Also, they will be taught how to use past participles, so that no one will say "I could have went" or "I should have drank."

[kwassa]

41. Please also works on "affected" vs. "effected"

The world is going to hell because of this.

[REP]

44. Also, eradicate "impact" when "effect" is meant

I have seen "impactfully" used with no sense of shame so many times it has given me a rage impaction.

[kwassa]

46. And expel the word "awesome" from the English language.

It will force millions to find a second adjective.

[REP]

49. I'm fine starting with abuse and misuse; overuse can wait

That's a lot of windmills to tilt at before moving on to worn-out words!

[kwassa]

50. Awesome can't wait.

[REP]

51. I'm going to make you a T-shirt with that slogan on it

[Calista241]

61. Lol. That's awesome. N/t

[REP]

48. Well, technically, "I would have gone" is conditional perfect/subjunctive ...

[onyourleft]

60. Could you...

...add bring and take? Thanks in advance.

[jeff47]

36. You're plan sounds gud.

(/snark)

[jberryhill]

54. I'll bet he lies to get laid

[Eleanors38]

20. How would he know, being down, you know, on the farm?

[left-of-center2012]

23. From the linked article

"... dozens of parents and teachers attended the special board meeting, many of them to show support for (the pig) Gremaud."

Boggles my mind. I worry for what their children learn at home.

[smirkymonkey]

34. I really hope none of those people who attended in support of him

have daughters. That is a disgusting way to think of women.

[stillwaiting]

25. I wonder if he's a conservative?

I don't even need to look it up to know he is one.

[Kelvin Mace]

26. I think we need a vote on the remaining three

[HassleCat]

27. Grammar, grammar!

It's "lying" on one's back, not "laying" on one's back. They were right to ask him to resign.

[randys1]

28. Promise you this is a teapartier.

[blackspade]

29. WTF?

The GOP stupid hurts....

[Enthusiast]

30. 4—3?

This is fucking horrible!

[allan01]

31. id better not say anything

the little emoticon cant hold my contempt for this . bah humbug.

[oldandhappy]

32. Just sent a note

Mark Gremaud
Perry County District 32 School Board
Perryville, Missouri
63775-1372

And said "Words fail me." and signed it.

We have to stand up to these slugs.

[AngryAmish]

37. Oh, FFS, tell me at least on thing he said that was not true?

Besides everything he said?

[City Lights]

38. What year is it in Missouri?

[KamaAina]

42. 2015, of course.

B.C.

[City Lights]

43. LOL!

[Go Vols]

45. Legs in the air,WTF

Theres cooking,cleaning,canning,ect.

[lpbk2713]

47. How could he possibly get three affirmative votes?

And how can he possibly think this is acceptable to say in a public meeting?

OMFG

[avebury]

63. One of the three votes probably was his. nt

[niyad]

57. lawsuit time--and time to recall each and every board member who supported that sexist

`jerk.

[RKP5637]

58. Here's his picture, yep, looks like he could say it!

http://m.semissourian.com/story/2222947.html

[oberliner]

62. Generalizations based on a person's appearance are not helpful

In fact, I would argue the opposite is true.

[RKP5637]

67. Yep, quite true! n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

64. Ok, Trump now has his Secretary of Education. nt

[PassingFair]

65. LOL! nt

[madokie]

66. Some one needs to slap

that SOB back to where he came from. If I was there and heard that in person I'd have been on him like a chicken on a june bug, kicking the holie shit out of him and not having to give it any fore thought, It would simply be automatic.
I do not tolerate haters and this sob is a hater, a nasty one at that.
