Women Candidate Double Standards

[lizbud]

Seems some critizisms are true or false based on who's doing the talking.

What's wrong for some women are virtues in others.

For example...............

Pretty funny take on Palin & the "double standard" of GOP advisers. Watch
how the words spoken can come back to haunt you sometimes.

I watched that video last night - totally cracked me up!!

These pundits, on all sides, really need to be careful what they say.

And Dick Morris - what a loser! Isn't he the one who got photographed sucking his lover's toes on a balcony - yuck!!

I think with anything (politics or celeberities) we should keep something in mind. If WE had to live in a fishbowl, under constant scruitiny and have everyone keep a record of everything we've ever said/written regardless of the circumstances, then we too might fall under this same catagory. Something to think about.

Huh? Did you watch the gender/political conflict going on in the video? Sort of a one side is ALL bad and the other side is ALL good.

Sounds hypocritical to me.

A really good piece by Anna Quindlen in the latest issue of NEWSWEEK. Goes along with the theme of this topic.

I did not watch the video. I try to avoid the frustration of dealing with media politics.

I was simply responding to this specific part of your original post and based on alot of things I've heard people talking about lately along the same lines.

The only constant in life is change.

(VERY tounge in cheek, so relax.)

I'm not Liz, but I think that is a very insulting remark - tongue in cheek or not. You could have said nothing and left it at that.

Oh Liz....THANK YOU!! I haven't had time to watch Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert for a few weeks and I have missed them so much.

What a fabulous clip. It should be required watching for everyone!

Even though this is The Doghouse, people should be respectful. No name-calling!

Having met Lizbud in person, I can assure you she is not an angry person! She was, at the time, mildly annoyed by the Indianapolis traffic she had to endure to get to the Pet Talk gathering, (silly people hold the Indy500 on the same date as our gathering) but that was it!

Good grief people... I WAS KIDDING.

Why are all you lefty women so ANGRY all the time?


A Karen, I did not CALL her a name. I asked a question, IN JEST.


Grace, Lizbud... I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. But come on, do you all hate me that much that I can't even TRY to lighten up? What if say, ES, said the same thing, would you still have been insulted?

I gotta agree here.

I still can't wait for them to turn her loose.
