Obamarama/Obamaniac cycle

The Lavender Newswire offers this handy Pocket Guide to the Obamaniac Behavior Cycle.  It would be funny if it weren’t true.

In other anti-Hillary news, John Edwards is now endorsing Obamarama.

 

Bitterly clinging to guns and religion

Obamarama thinks that people in Ohio and Pennsylvania cling to guns and religion because they’re bitter because they lost their jobs.  Maybe they cling to their guns and religion because they go deer hunting and pray they get one!

Other women

Why haven’t we heard about any of the other prostituted women that Gov. Spitzer pay-for-raped?  He used that same service multiple times, right?

Misogyny abounds

I wish I had time to write brilliant posts about a couple of current topics.  Since I don’t, I will point you to other blog posts about each of these important topics:

victimless crime?

Thanks to Feminism Online for linking to a New York Times Opinion piece about The Myth of the Victimless Crime by Melissa Farley and Victor Malarek.  They ask, WHAT do we know about the woman Gov. Eliot Spitzer allegedly hired as a prostitute?  I wonder why every mention I heard of this on mainstream tv and radio only mentioned the governor’s infidelity but overlooked the human rights issue.  Well, I don’t wonder because I know that misogyny is so common that most people don’t notice.  Throw in classism and some people probably believe that Kristen’s life is not worth as much as Eliot Spitzer’s life or the lives of his wife and children.  In fact, they don’t think anything about her worth because they don’t think of her at all.

Ain’t no sunshine for Number 9

Pay-for-rapist* New York Governor Spitzer is reported to have spent tens of thousands of dollars on a high-priced prostitution service.   But apparently for all that money he still couldn’t get a BBBJ. 

In the court papers, an Emperors Club employee was quoted as telling Kristen that Client 9 — Spitzer, according to investigators — “would ask you to do things that … you might not think were safe,” and Kristen responded by saying: “I have a way of dealing with that. … I’d be, like, listen, dude, you really want the sex?”

A law enforcement official said Tuesday the discussion had to do with Spitzer’s preference not to wear a condom and the call-girl’s insistence that he use one.  (READ THE ARTICLE HERE)

Why didn’t somebody tell him to look for Sunshine on Craig’s List or some similar service that advertises women men can pay to rape*?  You would have thought that in all his time as a prosecutor he would have learned a little more than that.

*Please don’t post a comment that says something like, “one man paying another man for the right to have sex with a woman that the first man enslaves is just free speech.  It’s my right.”

And the loser is …

Who would have thought that Tim Russert could be the loser of the Democratic presidential debate last night.  As a supporter of Clinton, even I have to say it seemed like a draw between Clinton and Obama.  But moderator Russert demonstrated what a loser he is.

 For those who didn’t see it, Russert was on the attack against Clinton and Obama.  Instead of trying to get solid answers on their policy differences, he tried to trip them up over petty points and questioned them with endless hypotheticals.  He treated Senator Clinton with a smug, disrespectful attitude and at times (the Farrakhan question, for example) was not much better in his treatment of Obama.

During the debate, when Russert asked the question about Russia, I thought it was directed at Senator Clinton, but after the debate Rusert claimed that he asked the question for either candidate and that Clinton spoke up first and took the question.  He mocked her for stating that she always gets the first question and then sneared that she actually likes to answer questions.  Russert reminded me of a power rapist gloating over his perceived truth that the victim really likes the mistreatment.

 Tim Russert, shame on you!
