might.

she is the wicked witch of the north. an evil tongued, despicable opportunist.

1. Why didn't you mention Lady MacBeth and Nurse Ratchet too?

[spanone]

5. don't make me edit!!!!

:dilemma: :hi:

[timeforpeace]

2. She may only be one woman

but it's going to take all of us, together, to prevail!

[NavyDavy]

3. hey....don't insult wicked witches like that......more like the spawn of

satan and pond scum....lol

[daninthemoon]

4. My message to Dave: don't mention palin again(unless she takes

a run at the presidency lol. she is getting tons of free publicity out of this. don't talk about her, and maybe she will go away.

[RandomThoughts]

6. Its not for me to judge, but I don't think she is North.

Although I don't think she is wicked either, I just think she thinks on things differently and makes some choices I probably wouldn't want to make. (Note I probably have faults she would not want also)

But David Letterman, who also has faults, said it was just a joke, and people should move on, instead of trumping up another useless discussion, when so many real important things are going on.

[Captain Hilts]

7. Stop being reasonable! And, yes, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North. nt

[spanone]

9. bwahahahaaa....we can't have that!

after watching her thru the campaign, i feel pretty comfy calling her evil ...and today when matt lauer asked her about her comment about keeping her 14 year old daughter away from letterman, she replied 'you can interpret that t anyway you want to'....she's evil...imho

8. In the Oz books

Glenda was the good witch of the NORTH....

Geesh....

You will never get that writing gig now.

[spanone]

11. damn, my research dept. let me down again.....

:bounce: :toast:

[bridgit]

12. ^

[jmondine]

13. Actually she was the good witch of the South in the books

And a very powerful leader who dressed in red. The witch of the north was a sweet, grandmotherly type who was never named.
The 1939 MGM movie composited the two characters.
Oh, and her name is spelled, "Glinda".
And yes, I'm an OZ nerd.

[spanone]

14. now i'm really cornfuzed....

:wtf:

[bridgit]

10. Mine to Dave, ahem, is this on? Testing 1,2: Voice of Martian: "Let me tell you, you're not the...

"...missionary type. You'd never last. And-and incidentally, you're also not Superman; you're a comedian. You want to do mankind a real service? Tell...funnier...jokes."

[jmondine]

15. Dave doesn't need to use all of his might

He could chop her into moose bits with one hand tied behind his back.
You don't mess with the Letterman.

[lpbk2713]

16. I don't think it would go over too good to tell Failin to go to hell on network TV.

But that's what I would be inclined to do. Maybe Dave can find a more tactful way to deliver the same message. :shrug:

[whathehell]

17. One thing: Taliking about "slutty flight attendants" and "knocked up"

daughters is not the way to fight someone politically.

[blue cat]

18. DL is not a politician

He is a comedienne.

[whathehell]

20. Then why are you urging him to "fight" a political fight?

I don't like Palin, for all of the obvious reasons, but like many others on the left, I don't like attacking women with gender slurs because they are "not on our side".

How would we like it if Michelle Obama or Rachel Maddow were attacked in these sexist ways?...The short answer is, we wouldn't.

[spanone]

19. only one of them is a politician

[whathehell]

21. I know...So why are we, on a political board, urging a comedian to "fight" her

especially in these sleazy, mysogynist ways?

[spanone]

22. one person's sleazy, misogyny is another persons comedy...

[whathehell]

24. Yeah...the comedy of sleazy mysogynists.

[Xenotime]

23. Crazy wacked bitch she is.

[whathehell]

25. And that leaves "good" progressive women

as..right-thinking, sane.."bitches"?

and what would you call Black Conservatives..."Crazy wacked n*ggers?

Somehow I feel the "awareness" here is a little low":eyes:
