Bill Bennet on CNN: Teresa is worse than Cheney
Wolf asked Bill about Cheney's f-word (they had shown the footage of the little girl saying he needs a time out). Bill immediately says it wasn't a big deal and Teresa saying "shove it" was worse. Wolf says, 'you can't say that was worse than what Cheney said'. Bill says, "yes it was worse because she's supposed to be a lady." Wolf says, "so there's a double standard for women?" Bill says, "absolutely."

REPUBLICANS HATE WOMEN.

End of story.

5. Wolf tried to turn it into a joke after
he said Bill was going to be in trouble with his wife now. Har-he-har-har. Bill said no, she agrees with me. :eyes: Because Republicans wives can't have their own opinions.

40. No, Bennet handed him the socks unexpectedly
Damn, that's a softball question, really. Bennet INSISTED on taking the stupidest possible out: that the remark was worse because it was said by a woman. Here's how the parallel-reality SmartBennet answers the line of questioning.

Wolf: So what about Cheney using the F-word?

Bennet: It's no big deal. Teresa saying "Shove It" is worse.

Wolf: You can't say that was worse than what Cheney said.

Bennet: Sure it is. Cheney was talking to a political colleague with whom he'd had longstanding, frustrating disagreements. Teresa, on the other hand, was responding to a legitimate question from the press. Totally different circumstances, you understand?

Wolf: Oh, I see what you mean.

12. Teresa Is Dynamic!
I love John and Teresa. My hopes for the future are pinned on them. How the media Whores can suggest with a straight face that a sitting Vice President telling a US Senator to go F*ck himself on the Senate Floor is acceptable but a candidate's wife can't tell a harassing "reporter" to shove his distortions? She used words that are acceptable language in an situation. The Veep used profanity that is censored and inapporpriate in almost every social situation. It's not real. Its a show. Its World Wrestling. It is designed to pull our strings and push our buttons. It's not real. The Dynamic Duo of Kerry Edwards will beat the Joker and the Penguin and save us.

pathetic attempt at having the hold on ethics and morality. This is going to YET again, bite them in the ass. It will remind everyone what a nasty, ill-tempered, asshole Cheney is as well as Brat Boy Bush.

25. Keep 'em barefoot and pregnant
Carl Cameron on Brit Hume Show just said that THK only appeals to 'educated women' which means those kinds of women who are 'elitist'. That's right, keep 'em barefoot and pregnant and don't let them think or talk for themselves.

What I want to know- does Pickles not have any respect for herself??? How can she let the Republicans portray women like this when just a word from her to stop this crap would stop this and add a little dignity to her stupid husband's campaign. Can't she see that or is she so doped up she doesn't know what he is doing and how bad she looks???

35. She does appeal only to educated women
And compared to some freepers' women, "fifth grade graduate" is educated.

I don't think Pickles has a bit of self-respect. It shows in the way she dresses. (No, this isn't going to get into a "Pickles Bush dresses like shit" thing again.) You couldn't have any self-respect if you remained married to that man.

I think she just kicks back with a book, a bottle of gin and a carton of Virginia Slims and just waits out her days, longing for when she can go back to Crawford and get the hell out of the public eye.

Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 05:36 PM by drscm
In a review of her speech, one FAUX News reporter noted that "educated women - some would say elitist - loved it."

Teresa was to stick to introducing her husband in some type of fawning terms.

In fact, Gambling Guy needs to get his sorry, self-righteous rear end into a 12-step program and stop prancing about (or is it waddling about? I've never actually seen him move...) telling us mortals where we're failing morally. In fact, he may insert his pontificating into his rectum.

There. Was THAT ladylike enough for you, B.B.?

The nerve of THK using such language!

I mean, he pays his whip welding dominatrix big bucks to say that to him in private...while he's clad in skimpy leather...on all fours...chained to the wall...okay, I'll stop right there. A lady needs to know her place and oughtn't say such things unless she's paid to by horny, Republican perverts.

42. Teresa is in fact a lady and Bill is if fact a Biatch.
How typical for a moralizing repuke to rationalize that a somewhat vague colloquiallism is more offensive than an explicit instruction to "go fuck yourself." I would think that a good xtian like Bennett would disapprove of another good xtian commanding any man to engage in autoerotic sodomy. Doesn't that amount to two abominations before God? Republicans. Go figure.

I can't believe he thinks saying "shove it" is worse than "fuck off". Not only that, it shows that the sexist bastard (and the Repugs, in general) doesn't care about women voters.

Women who vote for him (or any repug for that matter) should be ashamed of themselves, in my opinion.

Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 12:45 AM by secondtermdenier
Who let that animal out of its cage?

I suspect many people don't realize that William Kristol is also an active "pro-lifer". Bennett's a crude, blatant symbol of the "social issues" side of neoconservatism, along with dead creep Allan Bloom.

Foreign policy is not the only thing goin' on with neoconservatives. A reminder.

How did they drag him out of the casino long enough to comment on someone else's behavior? Maybe "the big bookie of virtues" should reflect on his own life instead of knocking others down for inconsequential verbal exchanges.
