The obit finished, “...instead, vote for Limberbutt McCubbins.”
You are a saint.
I usually think these wax figures are pretty well done but... why is she white? And why does she have a different face? Also WHY AM I AGREEING WITH AZAELIA BANKS?
I agree it was a good question and yes he could have handled it better but I think the degree to which it freaked him out was interesting in itself. Male politicians just have no toolkit for dealing with such utterly superficial questions, if anything their wives get those. With a bit of luck he at least thought for a…
I think 99% of my sudden “feel the Bern” friends are really more “thank God a dude is running".
Wow. You’re just the kind of supporter that went foaming at the mouth for Obama in ‘08, attacked people who tried to point out that Obama was not the Savior King but instead a pretty careful guy with a lot to lose, and then had fits four years later when it turned out Obama was not the Savior King, insisted it was a…
The reporter didn’t ask him to change the media - though he is, in fact, influential enough to affect the public conversation to some degree. But she didn’t request that. She asked him for his opinion on this unequal treatment.
I totally agree! Considering he’s the most progressive candidate in the Democratic race right now AND his main opponent is a women, he’s depressingly silent on women’s issues. This could have been an opportunity to discuss sexism in politics as a jumping-off point for a larger conversation about women’s rights, and…
It could have led to an interesting conversation about how women are judged for their appearance even when running for president. Instead, he pooh pooh the question and doesn't take it seriously.
He’s like the liberal Ron Paul, with the rabid fans.
I guess I’m in the minority here, but I thought it was a great question. Why is Hillary’s appearance scrutinized while yours isn’t? He missed an excellent opportunity to discuss the bias against women candidates and the way the media talks about their hair, their pantsuits, calls them grandmothers instead of…
Sanders completely missed the point of the question, while contributing to the problem. Awesome. I don’t get why people like him.
This. The US has a shamefully high maternal mortality rate.
Amazing how diificult that concept is for so many people to grasp, isn’t it? OMG, Hilary didn’t follow rules that didn’t exist at the time she “broke” them! This proves she thinks she doesn't have to follow rules that haven't yet been established! The HORROR!
Actually, given that many .gov servers have been broken into by the Chinese and the Russians, a personal, private, and unobserved server was probably the best idea.
She was killin’ last night.
When I was young and pregnant it was Planned Parenthood that was my provider for pre-natal care. This was over 20 years ago and the facility has since shut down their pre-natal services because, you guessed it, women were too intimidated by the protesters to go there for regular checkups. You want women to have babies…
AGREED. I love this. Mara Wilson (of Mrs Doutfire fame) tweeted something awesome like “I want to call every Congressperson who wants to defund PP and tell them about the time I went there for a yeast infection.”
And let’s not forget the fact that if women go there for birth control, they won’t need abortions...
I'm so glad you didn't end up as a skin-suit. *hugs*
