Political Sex

Headline: Do We Ever Outgrow High School?

Sub-headline thing: Lately, some high-profile women are acting like mean girls. Is the fault theirs or ours?

That’s from this Newsweek story that I didn’t read, why would I, why would anyone? At least they put the political stuff on the top, I skimmed through that:

Let’s start with Carly Fiorina (the former head of Hewlett-Packard), a Republican running for the U.S. Senate in California, whose recent cattiness about the “sooo yesterday” hair of her opponent, Sen. Barbara Boxer, was picked up by a mike that was on when Fiorina clearly thought it was off. Fiorina has had to spend precious campaign time explaining and backtracking while stories focused on her gaffe rather than the issues.

A potentially more serious story concerns a “shoving incident” involving Meg Whitman, a Republican and former eBay CEO who is now running for governor of California. According to The New York Times, when she was eBay chief, Whitman became so angry at an employee that she “forcefully” pushed her. When the employee threatened to sue, the company countered with a reported settlement of about $200,000, and Whitman now praises the employee’s “thorough professionalism.” The story revived accounts of Whitman’s tough behavior as a boss who, according to the Times, “would often express sharp bursts of anger toward employees whose work or preparation she found lacking.”

How embarrassing for women, though, huh? Ha, cattiness, hair comment, shoving incident. If it were dudes, it be like one said he fucked the others mother, while pushing the others toupee into her face, while shoving his wife down the stairs in a drunken rage. See the difference, guys are so much cooler… women = boring. Rrrraarrrr, down kitty… oh how cute, I thinks shes angry.

Oh, and to answer Newsweeks’ stupid headline; no, we never outgrow high school, because we don’t do these things because we’re in high school, we don’t do these things because we’re teenagers; we do these things because we enjoy these things, because human beings are just a bunch of assholes… I would laugh at the Pope’s funeral if someone made a fart noise with their mouth. I’m laughing right now just thinking about it. Poop! Ha, that word is always funny.

Is it me or does Sarah Palin have large calves? I realize there’s been a lot of Sarah Palin on Political Sex lately, but the stories about her don’t seem to be stopping. The media loves this chick. How do you solve a problem like Sarah? Is that like the stupid ‘How do you solve a problem like Maria?’ song from that musical. Damn, that’s terrible.

Some people are upset at Newsweek’s choice of cover photos for a piece on Sarah – that’s right, I call her by her first name; it’s okay because I’ve seen her naked, it was in my imagination, but that counts… Shut up, Yes it does! Anyway, they’re upset because Sarah’s wearing stupid shorts. Even Sarah herself is upset and wrote this on her Facebook page:

• The choice of photo for the cover of this week’s Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this “news” magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner’s World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness – a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention – even if out of context.

  - Sarah Palin

Damn this is a stupid story. I even saw it called ‘shorts gate.’ That makes me want to snip the tip of my nose off with a cigar cutter.

Here’s Newsweek’s response
