Wash. Times' Pruden: Clinton "suggested she has the equipment to be the manliest member" of Obama administration
In his December 2 Washington Times column, in which he discussed President-elect Barack Obama's announcement of his "national security team," Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden wrote that Sen. Hillary Clinton "suggested she has the equipment to be the manliest member of the entire Obama administration." Obama named Clinton as his choice to be secretary of state on December 1.
As Media Matters for America documented, on the June 9 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, contributor Michelle Bernard claimed that Clinton "ran as a man" during the 2008 presidential campaign, and in a 2007 column, The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan asserted that Clinton "doesn't have to prove she's a man. She has to prove she's a woman."
From Pruden's December 2 Washington Times column:
Hillary Clinton, who suggested she has the equipment to be the manliest member of the entire Obama administration, invoked the campaign mantra right away, cheering an uneasy cult after those earlier appointments. She's not only for change, but "positive" change. She promised to work with the toy countries of the world to resolve global crises.
"The American people have demanded not just a new direction at home, but a new effort to renew America's standing in the world as a force for positive change," she said. She vowed to "reach out to the world again," to give the thirsty world a Coke after the drought of the Bush years.
This is so over the top. More so than James Jones the Marine general. I don't think so. Her husband on foreign policy was terrible, why would she be better?
What are four sentence fragments that are unrelated to one another or the topic, Alex?
That is correct, Colonel.
And the final clue...
For $1000... Her educational accomplishments included a BA from Wellesley College for political science, and a juris doctorate from Yale law school, leading to gender-based attacks by adequacy-challenged and lesser-intellectual pundits and sycophants....
Who is MissDee?
(I always choke in the final round.)
Who is someone who has never been in my kitchen?
(I always seem to pull a Claven.)
"Her husband on foreign policy was terrible"? WTF? Define terrible. Oh, wait - that's been defined for us pretty well over the last 8 years.
The writing's not really bad for a junior high blog. What? The Washington Times? Oh, that's different, it's real top shelf stuff.
Really, what's with all of these bizarre genitalia references towards Hillary from the wingnuts in the media? I consider myself a sexist pig, but these columnists, even the women, make me feel like an Alan Alda / John Ritter hybrid.
You're right, Col. - Legions of men with little "man" complexes stand ready to jump on Hillary for her every move. They all so afraid of that big, big brain.
I noticed how many times Pruden used the word "soft" in his column. At least twice in the past few days I've heard righty talkers use the word "impotent", Dennis Prager referring to gun laws, and somebody else talking about Obama's proposed cuts to our bloated military.
You have to wonder how much more obvious these guys would need to be in displaying their insecurities before they'd figure out what they're trying to compensate for.
Is Maureen Dowd the new Washington Times Chief?
Side note to this thread, I'm glad as a NY taxpayer to be rid of this nitwit senator. Since she's been our jr. senator, she's done nothing, except maybe shine the seat with her ass every now and then. You can have her America. Good luck.
Has the Empire State seceded, Dave?
I thawt conservatives WANTED less government...?
Maybe the seat-shining is unnecessary. I'm not sure about Dave's position on more/less government, I just know he likes money, and hates paying for things.
Which is one of the bizarre fundamentals of Republo-thought that I've never been able to make sense of. Money only has one purpose, and that's to pay for stuff.For some reason, those most obsessed with accumulating it hate the idea of putting it to its intended purpose.
I think it's just another avenue for that anal-retentive collector brain disorder, the same type who collect comic books and seal them in plastic, or who buy expensive cars and store them in a garage.
I'm grateful I've never been afflicted with the disease, and hope that a cure is found some day. I get so tired of the whining.
I did that since junior high school, then sold them to make the down payment on our first house back in 1983.
(We still only have one house, no McCain here, but that was the first one we bought.)
That was pretty funny.
I guess Libs do have a sense of humor when they're not whining about the trees, darter snails, oil, Halliburton, Bush, Rush, unions, Fairness Doctrine, profits, whales, etc. Its the whining that gets old.
Still funny post, though.
Well, we do have our own song now so we can take athiesm off of that list of yours. ;)
I thought Dave's comment was pretty funny, too. A long whiny list of things nobody's ever whining about, ending with a complaint about the whining getting old. Bravo, Dave!
C'mon Col. You guys on the left never whine about any of those things? That's how this website stays alive. The only thing I excluded was global warming, but only because I forgot about it....until now.
Actually it stays alive because conservative cannon fodder, like yourself are masochistic enough to raise your ugly head so that we can quickly take it off.
golly. stop that whining right now about bush. it's easy. just ignore the fact that bush paid no attention to the warnings and we had 9-11, people drowning in new orleans while bush's homeland security chief says "we dodged a bullet because i saw the newspaper headlines", then bush lets osama go at tora bora when the reason we invaded afghanistan was to get him, then bush makes up a lot of hyped information about a nation that was not a military threat to us and invades that nation, costing us a trillion dollars for a war that was supposed to "pay for itself", and where we still find ourselves years after "mission accomplished", and our prestige has plunged world wide even among traditional allies, plus trillions more added to the credit card we call the national debt, and very mediocre job creation over eight years.... whine, whine, whine.
Atheism....not a problem. Abortion....not a problem, unless you make me pay for it. Snoop, I'm a Conservative. If it costs me money, I'm against it. Atheism, while cute, costs me nothing. Who cares. Have at it. I promise I won't try to convert you.
If you're against anything that costs you money why are you supporting the war? Or a bloated military budget to build worthless gadgets reminiscent of Nazi Germany's wartime production? ;)
When have I ever been for the war? You have the wrong guy.
Dave never leaves his gated mansion, so he doesn't care about the price of oil. He's like Charles Foster Kane near the end.
I'm waiting for him to start posting "Rosebud."
OK, I'll take your word on the war support but point being, you can't be against everything that costs you money. And some of the things you attribute to liberals don't cost you anything either, like darter snails or whales for instance.
They don't save me anything, either.
I compare liberals to my dog. Albeit cute, he does nothing to contribute to the running of the household. He waits for free stuff and whines when he doesn't get it. Mrs. Dave likes him, though. That's why he is still here.
You cannot cut taxes unles you you cut spending. Is BHO ready to do so?
Sounds like your position is in a constant state of flux. And they say liberals are wishy washy?
What would you find "wishy-washy"? I'v e stated my case. I do not want BHO's poicy of higher taxes and handouts. I've also advised that BHO cannot reduce taxes unless he cuts spending. Where's my contridiction?
Where in this thread did you state that? Was it in your mind when you started about saying you're glad to be rid of clinton, progressed to liberals whine about everything, diverted to say you are against anything that costs you money, and then refined your claim to include you are against something if it doesn't save you money either? Cause it sure ain't on paper for all to see here...
OK, I love the picture. What are you talking about?
The picture was just for your viewing pleasure. I already stated what I had to say! ;)
Neither does "BHO."
Thanks for playing.
So you're saying if your wife wasn't around, you'd abandon that worthless, free-loading mongrel, kick him out on the streets? You're a real stand-up guy.
Yup
You'd force more government spending on us by requiring the government to employ animal control officers. Then I'm sure you'll whine about paying your taxes.
Not quite. I'd drop the good for nothing cocker spaniel off at the proper place. I do give money to them. Tax right off. No cost to the tax payer.
A tax write-off does cost the rest of us taxpayers. If you only lived in the vaccuum you seem to think surrounds you, we'd quickly be rid of you as your blood would boil and your lungs explode.
"Atheism, while cute, costs me nothing."
What does "cute" mean here? Just curious, it seems like very strange usage.
Judging by the way he applied the word to atheism and liberals, he must believe it means logical common sense.
"...I'm a Conservative. If it costs me money, I'm against it." - dave
Well, if that's the case, when your house is burning down, the fire department shouldn't come to your rescue. If your house has been burglarized, the police should deny you help. Oh, and those nice smooth roads you drive on - get off of them. These things cost you money - and evidently you're against them. These are but a few of the things that cost ALL of us as being citizens of a civilized society. Quit being a selfish jerk and pay your share like the rest of us.
What whining? There's a lot of talk by Limbaugh, Hannity and their ilk about the liberal whining, but not a lot of actual whining. The "Libs" have moved on, and the whining is coming from the wingnuts these days. Who has time to whine? We have too much to do.
And we're happy to have her. Thanks!
Um... considering that it's the male gender that's responsible for the tattered US economy and the global campaign to kill first and ask questions later, Sec. Clinton should be pointing out that she does not have equipment that her male counterparts like to whip out and wave at the world's problems.
Wesley Pruden wrote that Sen. Hillary Clinton "suggested she has the equipment to be the manliest member of the entire Obamaadministration."
The next question is, how the hell did he find that out?
Girl talk. How else?
Like Obama (and pretty much all Democrats) Clinton is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. She cries and everyone is asking "Is she going to start crying in negotiations with Putin?" But then she's too masculine too. Give me a break. I don't recall this type of sh!t being directed at Condi Rice and she ain't exactly miss femininity. I'm also a little put off by the "toy countries" reference. What does that even mean?
Men men men, its a ship all filled with men.
So throw the ladies head overboard, there's no one here but men.
It's the Washington Times - of course it's garbage.
I stopped buying it once I found out about toilet paper. Much softer...
And it doesn't leave that orange stripe on one's ass...
