    I know he should not have said it, but what if he calls a younger male reporter, "Champ" or "Kid" -- the bottom line is that both are condescending and uncalled for.

    Now is it a big deal? Not really.

    I just know this damn race needs to end, so news organizations can fill their time with issues. Nevermind. That's absurd. Who wants to read about issues?

    I'm calling bs on C.U.N.T. and the leader appearing on any "legit" (snicker) cable talk show.

    Citizens United Not Timid. Look it up. I believe the leader was on Faux News.

    Try Roger Stone, he's the head of Citizens United, Not Timid.
    Here's a quick primer, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/19/msnbc-hosts-founder-of-an_n_87356.html

    Or here http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/23/nyregion/23stone.html

    Roger Stone and Lee Atwater ran in the same pack for Reagan in the 80s. Stone was also the cat that started the riot in Florida that disrupted the ballot counting there after the 2000 election. He is also, reportedly, the guy who figured out Spitzer was nailing hookers and told the FBI about it.
    Maybe you should try to keep up.
     
  5. And that is how Mr. Google can kick your ass around the block.

    EDIT: The fail is strong in me. Can't make the image work.

    You can see C.U.N.T.'s logo here

    No worries, C.U.N.T. wasn't their first choice. They really wanted B.I.T.C.H.



    And he appeared on MSNBC right after NBC apologized for Jane Fonda saying "pussycat" on air.

    Okay, I tap out. Uncle.

    I didn't want to google it on the company server.

    Much ado about nothing. It'll be forgotten this time next week.

    Oh, and that isn't what Jane Fonda said, she actually used the C bomb, but I guess the software here doesn't let that word make it in or something.
    Here's the website for Stone's group.

    It just says What is Hillary and the rest won't load.
     

  10. Damn, I didn't think of that.
    I may be in trouble.
    And Jay just lost his job.

    Nope, read the library thread.
    Killing time on the free wi-fi at my local free book shack before I have to go to the airport.
    I save all my c-bomb posts and looking at buck nekkid French swimmers for my library time.

    And a funny thing happened -- in turning up stuff on Stone we've found out he has attacked and destroyed or attempted to destroy many Democrats -- like Elliot Spitzer -- in the most crude of fashions and using some of the most disgusting language imaginable....

    Thanks for proving my point, again.

    Which once again proves Hillary is not being singled out unfairly.........
