LUV ME SOME GOVN'R
What on earth is Hillary promising every Governor in the Nation? Whatever it is, they are drinking it up. What if they find out that she's promised them all the same thing?
HILLARY IS A STRONG, BLACK WOMAN IN A KATHY GRIFFIN KINDA WAY
Meanwhile, her latest Executive booster, ushered her onto stage with his strong-black woman attempt:
“This lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy. There’s nothing I love more than a strong powerful woman.”
Of course, Rocky is not a pansy (and not even real), so this doesn't sting quite like it might otherwise.
Did he just mean "effeminate youth"? No. Like the "light in the loafers" zinger that was aimed at Senator Lindsey Graham, it is code for gay man. He could have said "sissy" or "wimp" or, even better "coward" (assuming he had a high-brow purpose ...).
KNOW YOUR GENDER ROLE, PLEASE: GAYS ARE ... BOTTOM RUNG, GIRLY-MAN
So, the hierarchy presumed here is "strong, powerful women", Rocky Balboa [strong men], weak women (presumeably), and then ... gays.
WWCD?
So, what will Clinton do?
She's not going to get away with a press release in the Friday trash, but you can bet she'll try...
ABOUT THAT "GRIEVANCE POLITICS", ANDREW...
Meanwhile, at the risk of ruining the post, I have to note Andrew's screed on the matter, a rehearsal of all his historical grievances (including DOMA, which in some weird parallel universe he imagines would not have obtained, alhtough, to my knowledge, he never explains how ...).
Who does it remind you of?
Did you say, Jesse Jackson? Yeah, that's right. Andrew's fallen in the same trap that he so often viciously attacks ... in others.
