Where was the Huffington Post, they also picked this Douglas Mackinnon OpEd piece, when the chimp pics where circulated about the former POTUS? Where was any MSM outrage over those pics?
Is it OK to compare the POTUS or his wife to a primate because they are white but not OK when they are a minority? Why the double standard?
Liz,
I have to say this...
When people do the "I was raised in a black neighborhood and married a Mexican" line in a story, I stop reading.
Why not.....
"I was born and raised in a home that taught me to rise above whatever I lacked in life and to try and become successful........"
I really get tired of the "I was this, then, I am not that, now!"
Everyone is 'where' they came from, that will never change. The only thing that does change is a zip code, maybe? And that weird sense of trying to equate your wife, job and mortgage - that other people could never afford- to justify your niche in the world.
Isn't that what we all are supposed to do?
Grow up and do better than our parents, the more, the better!
--------------------------
Years ago I stopped playing the martyr game.
All my pride and the "I was born a poor kid" was really a slam against my parents. They gave me the best they could and told me to get off my arse and do something with my life.....
So, when I hear the "poor kid/effed up neighborhood" excuse, I wonder why more people don't realize that instead of starting out with the pity party statement, they should thank the parents that started the whole ball rolling.
------------------------
And that stupid BaBa boxer told a military officer she was grilling not to call her, "Ma'am". She earned her title and should be addressed as such.
I am not going to tell the joke I want to.
People go Street Rat Crazy!

Brigadier General is a Rank one earns, a senator is the winner of a popularity contest.
Edit: A Rank is Earned through merit. A title, like senator, is something won, like in a popularity contest.
I cannot stand any of the state's senators.Quote:

And that is a good thing. It's better than having a nominee for the SC saying that a hispanic woman has more insight that a plain vanilla, chocolate or strawberry gal! That takes testes bigger that what I own.Quote:

What happens when a Major Player acts like an AH in front of a Brig. General by telling him he is wrong in the way he has addressed her?
Nothing really, we know now to avoid the Boxer because she is frothing at the mouth?
I guess all the white and black women are useless to the government because they aren't as experienced as some dumb "latina"?
Every body has that little corner deep inside their hearts where they hold their dislike of a person, race, religion, politics, hair color, clothes, food, home, job and car.
People can say what they want about me, where I came from and everything else.
I just find that people that have to justify their "oneness with the planet" as being a bunch of effing 'victocrats' who need to include the fact that they got a box of food from the local VFW and a christmas tree from the food bank to show that they were poor.
Now, I can say that I have had relations with someone not of my own race and moved out of my poor childhood neighborhood?
Does that make me any more experienced that you?
How does that make anyone feel to hear that some Latina is smarter and more experienced that a white gal? Another brown or black gal?
Nope, I don't buy it.
At first I was bothered....I read on PetTalk that Senator Boxer did not want to be called ma'am....
A little truth in whine is in order!
She told the General she wanted to be called Senator. Just as I am willing to bet the General expects to be called...General.
Whether I agree with either of them is beside the point.
Both are entitled to be called by the title they have earned. General for him...Senator for her.
Not too complicated really!
I am more than happy to send anyone a gift certificate for an ANTI-STREET-RAT-CRAZY smoothie.
Gosh, this may be a pandemic.
Ild be more then happy to help pay for the coupons if it helps keep the Street Rat Crazies at bay.
I couldn't ask you to donate for the State of CA reps.Quote:

Oh, I could see her dropping her smoothie had Herr General been disrespectful, But to call someone out, in front of cameras, media and the world because she thought she was being disrespected shows that she has no class, decorum or brains.Quote:

Had it been a man (Mister, Senator or Sir) that called out a woman about his honorific, he would have been drawn and quartered over the incident.
Me thinks that the Lady Rep from the state of Cah lee fuh nee ah should stay away from undies of the smaller or thong variety.:confused:
Again with the "whine" comments.... Tis' a healthy ego you have. I reckon thats why you like our President. I learned a long time ago, ego is a dangerous thing to have when dealing with serious stuff.Quote:

Speaking of senators....where is the moral outrage about Senator Ensign. Now granted...he did not do something so egregious as ask to be called by his title... although we might want to ask Ms. Hampton about that.
Ms. Hampton is the wife of his good friend and employee - Mr. Hampton. Ms. Hampton is also the mother of a 19 year old Senator Ensign pushed some work to.
Oh yes, Ms. Hampton was also Senator Ensign's bed partner for a while. And an employee of Senator Ensign.
During the time Senator Ensign was doing Ms. Hampton her salary was doubled. Guess she did a good job.
Rumor has it this is not Senator Ensign's first dalliance (yes, there is a Mrs. Ensign...somewhere...)
Senator Ensign was full of moral outrage and hard charging for the impeachment of President Clinton for doing the help. I guess that was different??
And the icing on the cake? Mr. Hampton sent a letter to Fox News telling of the affair. Did they run with the story...nooooo...they gave Senator Ensign a heads up so he could arrange a "hasty news conference" where he confessed to doing the most horrible thing in his life. Nothing like "fair and impartial" news organizations.:D:D:D
So, as an active member of Promise Keepers...what promise do you suppose Senator Ensign was keeping???
Thankd goodness all he did was have a married mistress on the payroll...and not something serious!
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.:D Gives me an idea for
a game, Guess how many Republicans political officials have had run into
legal & ethical issues in the last year. I can think of 5 or 6 easily.:rolleyes:
I was totally blown away when I heard about Senator Ensign. He always seemed like the straight arrow type. Then again, one never knows what goes on behind closed doors ;)
And this subject is very appropriate for The Dog House as Senator Ensign is the only Veterinarian in the Senate http://bestsmileys.com/dogs/4.gif
Guess how many Democrats have the same problems?Quote:

HAHAHAHAHA,
Sit on this one for a moment.
Seriously,
Let's say that the Iranian "revolution" does the job and they get a real regime change, not some namby effing pamby promise of change.
So, Iran and Iraq become pretty serious DEMOCRACIES in the area and you see a fairer government, and people of different religious beliefs and races put their shiat together and start to live a better life..
Wouldn't that be nice?
It's way too bad that people have to die at the hands of their own brothers. But, what if those people's death's really won't go unnoticed in the long run and the people of Iran finally get a chance to run the asylum?
Ready?
Would not it be funny if they whole 'democracy' thing got going because some dopey president (that still can't say New Clear) took the chance by invading Iraq and giving those citizens at democracy and a chance to speak?
Naw, it would be too easy to give either Bush credit-
Warmongers!;)
They're those who cant see past their own party, they will excuse, ignore, and toss out distractions to protect their own. Most of them live in glass houses yet are still hypocritical enough to throw stones.Quote:

Im shocked that Fox news would give a polititian an honest chance to break bad news to his constituants instead of hanging him out to dry after tarring and feathering him for having an affair. He came clean on his own rather then be blackmailed, shocking stuff.
When someone enjoys the outing of an others dirty laundry, watch out, the carp is going to fill the room quickly. Now would be a good time for some to get a Smoothy.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL, If we could only open up franchises in Iran.Quote:

I have to say that these are interesting times. I am excited-for them. That sounds kind of sick, but I want to see what happens over there. I want to see the downtrodden rise up and kick some arse. Why not?
I bet there are the idiots like Chavez, Il, and the jokers in China that are holding their breath.......
IF that can happen in Iraq........:)
The next gov't. may not be the perfect one for the Iranians, but the power of the people is yet to be measured.

Babbling Baba is an effing disgrace, a slob and I hope to be an ex-politician the next election around.
There is a double standard here. I figured a Smart White Woman in a political seat would have some tact and not bring something as trivial as an honorific up.
The BG was not being disrespectful to her. I wonder if she objects to being called an X-X-AH. Afterall, she did earn that title and works hard to project that image to the public and her constituents.
I spologize on behalf of California for her representation of my fair state.:(
On behalf of the state of California...in which I also live...I do not apologize for Senator Boxer. Senator Boxer holds the record for most popular votes in a contested statewide election so I am thinking I'm not the only Californian who feels that way. And having heard the audio...come on.
How does this mild exchange compare to a married Senator who has sex with an employee/friend's wife? Who rewards his sex partner financially and who gets tipped off by a shady news organization?
Who hasn't yet resigned -- as he insisted Clinton should have done? (Maybe he likes being called Senator???)
Normally...a situation like this would be fertile ground for stupid jokes.
The silence continues.
Btw...how many medals does this general wear? Eisenhower never wore more than five.
But then all he did was win a war.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Too too funny. Even his wife and aides don't know where he goes.:D
My favorite is he went for some peace and quiet. Let's see - about a 10 - 12 hour travel - in a plane with restless passengers and crying kids...to a city not exactly known as a place of rest and relaxation. For at most two days and then a long, long flight back. What...no rooms available in the other Big Apple?:D:D
