According to Safeway's General Council: Pelosi and Clinton are worth less than pigs

I got this from an e-mail from Daily Kos.

They had a link to his recorded statement and a link to send Safeway a response to their representatives offensive remarks and about women.

I just heard the comments Bob Gordon made at yesterday’s shareholder’s meeting – and I am astounded that an officer of the company would think it was acceptable to tell such a crude sexist joke, not to mention to tell that joke to a public audience where he is officially representing the company.

I also greatly sympathize with the thousands of female Safeway employees who have to endure a corporate culture that would tolerate comments like Gordon’s.

My Added Remarks:
I USED to do all my grocery shopping at Safeway since I moved here in 2005. Now, in light of the misogynistic attitude of your general counsel, and, by association, Safeway's attitude towards intelligent, independant women, I am ceasing using Safeway as my grocery store as of now.

I cannot, in good conscience, continue to patronize your store and reward your shareholders for your bigoted, misogynistic business practice.

And it has nothing to do with women or being misogynistic.

Here is the EXACT same joke, only he's trading for Rumsfeld and Cheney.
