No, she is just a plain ***** in the sense that she is a ***** to everyone who ever worked for or near her for any given amount of time.

I was no bully, just fearless to the point of being dangerous which worked well for scaring them away.
That may all be. However, by doing it, they feel good which is why they do it.

I left them alone, they left me alone. I didn't see why I should get tangled with them. Even if I do beat them, I know I will take some lumps. You don't wrestle with the devil and come out with your whole skin.

As long as you can beat them, you can scare them. If they beat you, it will be a different story.

I think that's an over-simplification. The freshman group at the House in '94 made him an honorary member and not by accident.

The dude has whipped up much frenzy based on mostly inaccurate or heavily slanted information. Poor guy is finally being marginalized, as people have seen that the hatred of Bush, that he often lampoons, is actually based on some sound reasoning.

Ol' Limbaloney thought the country was going to swallow another chicken-hawk who believed his spiritual path involved special knowledge after enduring 8 years of just that.

Watching Romney endorse McCain, I realized what's weird about his body language: he's a pencil necked geek! Dude probably hasn't lifted anything heavier than his cuff-links in years.

Rush was simply asking the question. Is that sexist?
Sexism is in the answer; not the question.

I was responding to cudaspaz's right wing rant.

Not proposing a psychological theory.

------------------------
Gotta love those right wing guys.
Always griping about something.
Blaming someone else for their problems.
Whining and crying about liberal crybabies.
-----------------------

Thanks

I dissagree. If the same questions are not asked of the male candidates, then I believe the remark is sexist.

So the sexism is in not asking the male candidates.

Yes. I believe there is a double standard in the way women and men are judged which have little to do with their ability to do a particular job.

So you actually talked to everybody who ever worked for her?

Why would the people currently working for her still be employed there if they all thought she was a *****? That does not make sense.
