(36,437 posts)"To those of you too stupid to understand my old-timey folksy joke, I assure you it was just a joke we used to tell, not an actual prescription for what you should do today, though I can't believe you're stupid enough to believe I was giving a prescription!"
That's the essence of this asshole's "apology." Here's a clue, Foster Friess, you monumental dickhead: we all got that it was a joke: the problem is that it is a joke that reveals an underlying disdain for women's sexuality - one that runs through the entire conservative movement. So we got that you weren't giving an actual policy talk, but rather joking around in your usual wanker, misogynist way...but that's the problem in a nutshell. You can make women-hating, "slut-shaming" jokes on national television without even realizing how fucking odious they are.
