In a rare moment of channel surfing, I recently saw FOX talking about the new changes in political power with their stable of pundits waxing on about Speaker Pelosi, her husband, her clothes...her grandchildren and then it came:
While the conversations continued, a "headline blurb" crawled across the bottom of the screen and in 2007 the geniuses at FOX opted to label the Pelosi decision to pass over Jane Harman as a "catfight".
CATFIGHT!
This is how the Republicans view women with political power?
This is how the Republicans view women with political power?
It is how they view women.
Nancy Pelosi's Speakership has for some reason unveiled a ton of GOP misogyny. They just can't help hauling out the stereotypes and contempt for women. It is as if they are suddenly writing for Fifties humor shows, spinning out visions of catfights and jealous bickering as if for some sketch comedy on a Fifties television show. I think they're imagining Milton Berle in drag getting into some kind of argument with guest star Ethel Merman on the floor of the House.
I hope they keep this up so that they lose even more women's votes.
