Inside Soviet McCain
"Carly will now disappear."0 comments
From CNN:[A] campaign source said [Carly] Fiorina would be discouraged from additional media interviews.
Another top campaign adviser was far less diplomatic.
"Carly will now disappear," this source said. "Senator McCain was furious." Asked to define "disappear," this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.
Now, shut up and go get us some money!
The Curved Talk Express rolls on.
This simply points up, once again, John McCain's "Woman problem."
Carly just being Carly reminds everyone of the time she actually stood up for women.Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief who is now the Republican National Committee's "Victory Chairman," was discussing consumer-driven health insurance at a breakfast with reporters when she proposed "a real, live example which I've been hearing a lot about from women: There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won't cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice." For effect, the woman frequently mentioned as a possible McCain running mate repeated: "Those women would like a choice."
Silence filled the meeting room at the St. Regis Hotel. "I don't know where I go after that," said the moderator, Dave Cook of the Christian Science Monitor.
Which, of course, prompted this reaction from John McCain:
Which, of course, brought immediately to mind Mayor Sarah Palin's famous edict to have the brutalized rape victims of Wasilla, AK, pay for their own rape evidence kits, which run between $300 to $1,200 apiece. It has been rumored that this was due to the post-rape Plan-B contraception included in the kits, which would put it squarely on morality grounds, not even fiscal conservation grounds.
This brutality to women was duly noted in the Alaska press at the time, in 2000.
Which, of course, leads us back to McCain's brutality towards women. How soon we forget that he tapped Sarah Palin as VP nominee just to spite the Republican leadership who wouldn't sign off on his picking his buddy-film pal, Joe Lieberman; his oft-repeated gorilla rape jokes; his calling his current wife a cunt; his laughing response, "That's an excellent question!" to a fan's "How do we beat the bitch (Clinton)?" question; and his chasing of his current millionaire wife while still living under the same roof with his then-wife and four kids, who had all waited patiently for years for him to come home from a Vietnamese POW camp.
Oh, and by the way, he has never said anything other than that he approves the total repeal of Roe v. Wade, and has voted unerringly in the Senate to destroy it. He would happily legislate "when life begins," and throw the women of America into the Gulags.
So, in this era of information overload: Thank you, Carly Fiorina, for reminding us of the ongoing relationship between John McCain and women.
If all men have "issues" with women, John McCain once again clearly takes the role of leader.
FREE CARLY!
