(10,201 posts)They are knuckle dragging assholes. Apparently there are quite a few.
Let's not forget that social media as well as mainstream media, are bullhorns for stupidity...

(805 posts)...that the contemporary definition of what is attractive has been narrowed to the point that ol' Ed could be considered truthful?

On a serious note, I don't even think the real sexism is so much in his outrageous statement as in the fact that someone complaining about there being too many ugly dudes WOULD NOT draw the same outrage. The real sexism is in the double standard that says it is the 'job' of women to look attractive, while men can generally run around looking however they want, which also completely ignores the fact that most people have a different idea on what is attractive and what isn't.

(60,981 posts)Take Trump, how much do you think he pays for that spray tan? And how much do you think he pays a hairdresser to form that dead blond wolverine on his noggin? I mean shit, it must take him an hour a day just to weave that rats nest. When the 3 am call comes in, it'll take him an hour to answer because he won't be able to until he's put himself together. By then, it really will be Goodbye, Columbus, and NYC, and LA, and Poughkeepsie, etc, etc.
So yeah, him judging women on their appearance has a sick kind of irony to it.

There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally, added Rendell,
only the Clintons would use America's most primitive Democrat to critique Donald Trump on his attitudes towards women.

(56,177 posts)Rendell is a jerk, but you'd be rationalizing this if he was supporting Senator Do Nothing.

(835 posts)Just thought it was funny how he bungled his words.

(942 posts)I think Clinton is about to flame out and it will open up the field to choices other than Sanders.
Whoever is the nominee should send Rendell to campaign in Antarctica.
