WTF: "The notion that a President can govern without a strong

[cali]

first lady by his side is ludicrous." Some asshole on NBC just made this remark. There are so many things wrong with this statement I don't know where to begin. Could the media be anymore disgusting this morning? The fawning is so over the top it sounds like parody. I hate these fuckers.

1. Ah, that statement explains why they media loved Hillary so much.

2. oh god did you hear Russert?

Tim was getting Bush's back on how Cheney is not calling the shots-- "the notion that Cheney is somehow in control just doesn't hold up"....

yeah, right.

3. That's pretty cheese-O-credible..

What a statement. With lil' George, though, they may be onto something. He needs someone to prop up his microcephalic cranium and medicate him. Without Laura, he'd probably be drooling all over the floor of a group home.

4. Uh, yeah, the media loves strong political wives.

That's why they bash Hillary, and any other woman who doesn't comply with the Stepford Code of Conduct. Most political wives could be replaced with lifesized cardboard cutouts, and no one would be the wiser. Have we really come a long way, baby?

5. And we know she's strong because . . . ?

She can hold up the drapes on those mighty shoulders?

She's reined in the bimbos?

As a teacher, she's improved her husband's ability to speak English?

Am I getting close?

10. If this is his "improved" English, I wonder what he sounded like before?

Maybe she's just there to make him look human.

6. Maybe he meant a first lady with a "strong stomach". I'd be puking.

:puke:

7. Female Presidents

So if the people elected a female president she wouldn't be able to govern without a strong first lady?

8. Or how about a President that isn't married

whether male or female? And what if a President's spouse dies while he is in office? Too stupid for words.

9. I guess they never heard of Buchanan

But then, given what he had to deal with, a harem of advisors would have been no help.
