John McCain, Ladies Man
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. It’s the one about how rape is like the weather…
As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
What’s that? You have heard that one before? Maybe that’s because when oil tycoon and failed gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams made that joke in 1990 it made national news. Still, it didn’t stop the McCain camp from setting up a Barbecue, Rape, N’ Ring Toss fundraiser with good ol’ “Claytie”.
In Mr. Williams defense, he was only joking around. (Rape is HILARIOUS!) And In McCain’s defense, they magically didn’t know about these highly offensive comments when they set up the fundraiser. They have since canceled the event but they are going to keep the $300,000 Claytie raised. Giving it back would just be tasteless.
This latest episode should give pause to the small and not at all representational, yet still very vocal minority of Clinton supporters who are now supporting John McCain because they think that the Democratic Party somehow turned their back on women by letting people vote for candidates who aren’t Clinton.
Are these people really going to vote for John McCain, a candidate who wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade, divorced his first wife Carol because she got ugly (she was in a horrible car crash) and who once called his second wife Cindy a c**t because, I don’t know, they are trying to make some sort of statement for women’s issues?
As it turns out Debra Bartoshevich is doing exactly that. As a pledged delegate for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, Debra has decided the best way to serve the party she has dedicated so much time and energy towards is to totally toss it under the bus Straight Talk Express and allow herself to become a Republican talking point.
She has said that she will not support Barack Obama and instead has thrown her support 100% behind John McCain. Nevermind that Barack Obama was rated 100% by NARAL, (McCain got 0%) or that he is a vocal advocate for any number of issues that affect women. We shouldn’t vote for Obama because… because…
If anyone knows Debra Bartoshevich, or knows how to get in touch with her, let us know. We would love to send her a FREE bag of 100% Organic and Fair Trade Gorilla Brand Coffee so she can, you know, wake the fuck up.
