Bob Dole on Teresa Heinz Kerry "There isn't a Muzzle big enough out there"

[Pachamama]

Just heard it said from his mouth on live TV....

What a sexist a-hole....just proves my point they are so afraid of the Women vote....

[Frances]

1. And his wife is in the Senate from North Carolina

thanks to help from WalMart

[cthrumatrix]

44. where are the female Dem representatives demanding an apology!

[Pachamama]

90. Lets call Libby Dole too - Ask her if she likes being muzzled....

...ask her if she prefers the "doggy muzzle" or the "Ball gag" better - and does Bob's Viagra really make a difference?

Her office # and email:
202-224-6342

Meanwhile, while we are at it, here's Bob Dole's info:

202 654 4848 and http://www.bobdole.org

I just left a mouth full for both folks answering the phones for the Doles....

[hatrack]

2. Shut your Viagra-poppin' piehole!

What a FUCKING ASSHOLE!!

[Carolina]

88. "Shut your Viagra-poppin' piehole...

you Brittany lusting, limpdick LOSER. LOL

[LittleApple81]

3. muzzle???? They are talking about muzzling women??? NOT ALL THE VIAGRA

in the world will get you any, Dole! You probably are just dreaming Elizabeth is responding... But maybe Elizabeth at night acts her stepford wife dreams.

[democrat_patriot]

37. Muzzle? You mean like the Taliban

reportedly did?

Republican support the Taliban!!!!

Where is Pickles indignation!! She fights for oppressed women right?

[ibegurpard]

4. Shut up, Dole.

If you're going to be carrying water for this administration of criminals then you're going to piss away any of the reputation you have for being one of the last reasonable and statesmanlike Republicans.

[quinnox]

5. WTF

I would expect better from Dole than that, I guess he is getting nervous about his party being led down the plank by Bush Junior.

[Pachamama]

27. Must be the orders from the Fuehrer & KKKarl to start putting Teresa ....

...in her "proper place"....in another thread I posted that the GOP is clearly afraid of the Women vote...they have been spending an awful lot of time today talking about "Teresa" being a liability....

[Hell Hath No Fury]

6. Shut up and sit down....

we don't need no uppity women folk.

:spank:

[Ripley]

7. WTF???????

Can you just imagine what they would do if a Democrat, say Jimmy Carter said that about a repuke woman?

They would hang him out to dry saying that the Dems are mean and nasty they even attack candidates wives for having an opinion.

:grr:

[Pachamama]

14. They sure would....they would be making Tonight's News with saying how

the Dems were dishonoring their women.....

double :grr: :grr:

They are really scared arent' they Ripley?

[Ripley]

23. Yes, those are exactly the vibes I am getting...

Cheney's "Go Fuck Yourself" started the downward slide.

These people are REALLY AFRAID they are going to lose! Pathetic really that they have lowered themselves so deep into the gutter. What next Bob, will you call Kerry an unpatriotic commie weak on national security?

[July]

94. And if Teresa needs a muzzle, what does Dole think Cheney needs?

Oh, that's right, Teresa can't speak her mind to hecklers, but Cheney can do it in a foul manner on the Senate floor and feel glad that he did it, too!

I think that's what Teresa should say, come to think of it. "I felt better after I said it, and I think my fellow Democrats wanted to say the same thing." (paraphrasing Cheney)

I want a bumper sticker that says WHAT TERESA SAID!

[ClassWarrior]

8. Wonder what size of muzzle he makes Lizzy wear?

As if...

[Pachamama]

16. Uh, she puts it on him along with the Gimp outfit.....after a few Viagras.

:spank:

[ClassWarrior]

18. Ewwwwwww...

Now I need to go take a shower!!!

[Pachamama]

68. Sorry....I should have given a warning to the image it conjures...n/t

:puke: :puke:

[Randypiper]

49. That's funny

with a ball-gag in HIS mouth

[Pachamama]

69. Bwahahahaha....Forgot to add that to the image!

Maybe that's the muzzle of choice for ole' Bob Dole? :eyes:

[readmylips]

9. the way cheney has muzzle on opinionated wife....

What happened to lynn cheney? She's no longer opinionated or writing about lesbian sex.

[blm]

10. They said that about Martha Mitchell, too, and sent her to a sanitarium.

All because of a few dropped comments about Watergate. Go figure.

[oasis]

11. He should try putting a muzzle on his ditzy wife Liddy. She chatters on

ad infinitum with her putrid half-smile and says absolutely nothing.

[Pachamama]

19. I guess there was a glitch in her Stepford Wife Programming....n/t

[soothsayer]

12. well, he's making Teresa's point. Women STILL don't have a voice!

I'll admit I was puzzled at her speech topic. I thought that she was behind the times, that women had come a long way and that her speech was a relic of the 70s or something. BUT...Dole proves she was right on the money!

Muzzle. Harumph!

The coolest thing about Teresa is that she can BUY AND SELL THEM ALL!!!! bwa ha ha ha ha!

[redqueen]

22. She was right on target!

I'm so sick tired of all the misogynist crap in this world.

[Pachamama]

78. "Teresa can buy & sell them all" - yeah, & the Repukes sure loved her $$$

...when she was a Republican and married to Sen. Heinz....

Nothing worse than a smart, outspoken woman - with $$$$$

Hahahaha.....

[SammyBlue]

13. Bob Dole is a caveman!

Bob Dole is a jerkoff. Bob Dole is a a waste of bad sperm. . .Bob Dole! Bob Dole! Bob Dole!

Nurse: Okay, Mr. Dole. . .it's time for your three o'clock bathroom time.

Bob Dole: Bob Dole wants to wipe Bob Dole's own ass!

Nurse: Okay, Bob Dole, but afterwards, you have to go straight to bed. You had a big day sticking your foot in your mouth.

Bob Dole: Bob Dole likes pudding!



Who gives a shit what this asshole says? Let him rant. Like Reagan, he'll forget about it in five minutes.

[smirkymonkey]

54. LOL! And Welcome to DU Sammy!

:hi:

[Aristus]

15. Damn. I used to go around saying that Bob Dole was the last

classy, mature Republican. Well, I guess there aren't ANY left, now.

[Lerkfish]

46. how quickly we forget...

that dole was used constantly as an obedient republican attack dog, right up until they nominated him for prez (as a reward for past pit bull actvities), then he tried to act all warm and fuzzy, but it came across as arrogant and smarmy.

i guess i'm old enough to remember that...its odd how important political items disapper into the memory hole of the general subconscious

[WoodrowFan]

17. maybe he's into bondage.

we've seen Dole drool over whats-her-name in Pepsi ads, maybe he's into BDSM and this is his fantasy!

[sushi]

20. What a gentleman!

:thumbsdown:

[Ducks In A Row]

21. It's sad to watch Bob slide into the slime

Attacking a candidate's family, not sticking to issues.

Makes me wonder if the wife is witholding sex if Bob doesn't slime himself this way.

Hey Bob, you can do way better than that shrew. Dump her, and speak your mind. Tell us how you think Bush is a piece of shit.

[cthrumatrix]

31. it's a sign of desperation...they have no issues

[Carolina]

92. Dole started out as slime;

his first political campaign and early days in Congress were a milder version of Newt, and his hero was none other than Nixon. He rose from the pond scum a notch when he was the GOP nominee in 1996, but true colors will always out. And a leopard doesn't change its spots --- with all due respect to leopards.

[napi21]

24. Too bad men of his generation are so afraid of strong women.

I'm not wishing any ill will on anybody, but ....generations eventually die off. Before that happens, they become less powerful.

I am a bit surprised at this comment from HIM. He seemed like one of the very few politicians left who could fight hard on policies, but be bi-partisan friends after work.

It's too bad.

[demigoddess]

25. said the gentleman from Kansas

SEXIST PIG

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. NO WAY!!!!

He didn't have the audacity to say that about our future First Lady! That man has been on my shit list ever since he was on Larry King with Wes Clark and called Wes "Lietenant"....ON PURPOSE and started the shit storm over Wes thought he was better than Kerry because he's a General when all Wes did was correct the son of a bitch.. :grr: I HATE him! What show was he on when he said that?

[Pachamama]

30. He said it about 2 minutes before I posted it..MSNBC - lets check the

transcripts....

My jaw dropped...that was right up there with the Broadcaster Lin on CNN saying on Saturday that "Kerry blew his wad"...

Unf*cking believable....I'm going to write a letter to MSNBC but also my local newspapers...maybe even his wife's hometown one in South Carolina?

:grr:

[wicket]

36. what show did he say it on?

This has gotta be sent into Mediamatters.org!!!!

[Pachamama]

67. It would have been whatever show was on MSNBC at 10PST/1PM EST

I haven't had a chance to check out the site, but I am sure its in the transcripts....

Unbelievable - I agree that mediamatters.org should be emailed as well as MSNBC and the Kerry Campaign....

[skypilot]

28. There isn't???

Why don't they use the one they've been using on Laura Bush for the last three years.

[janx]

29. WOW.

If Dole is starting to lose it, the right wing really must be in trouble.

[Pachamama]

34. They are desperate...earlier they were interviewing a guy from the Post

talking about whether she (Teresa) is a liability and has overstepped her bounds....

They spent 5 minutes discussing it and showing footage of her yesterday talking at the rally in which she said to a Bu$h supporter who said "4 more Years" she said "they want 4 more years of hell"...then she got the crowd chanting "3 more months, 3 more months"...

I guess those GOP'ers better get our Dem women in line....I mean gawd forbid our country has a 1st lady that - gasp - is smart and says more than what is spoon fed to her....

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

32. It's the viagara talking

[Pachamama]

45. Maybe he should switch to Cialis ? n/t

[Misunderestimator]

63. Blech... the thought of that shriveled old man on erectile dysfunction

medication makes me :puke:

[progressivebydesign]

33. What has THK said that is so different from ANYTHING a MAN has said lately

Geez. I guess we've all been wrong. Women are not liberated. Women are NOT allowed to speak their mind. You think ol' Libby Dole isn't a totally outspoken woman? She's hardly the shy, retiring type.

How DARE these Republicans attack a woman for speaking her mind? WHat fucking decade is this????

[A_Possum]

35. Dole contact info

http://www.bobdole.org/contact.html

If the ladies of America would like to demand an apology. :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. I just emailed him. I think my temper shows in the email.

:grr: I'm sorry. He pissed me off! He's going to rue the day that he tried to silence DEMOCRATIC women. We aren't the repuke stepford wives! :grr:

There's not a muzzle big enough to silence Teresa Heinz Kerry??? You're G-d Damn right there isn't! I'm glad to see her opinions and outspokenness threatens you and the cabal. Gotta shut those women up, eh? Sorry! We Democratic women WILL NOT BE SILENCED by YOU or anyone and I demand an apology from you to Mrs. Kerry! How rude can you be? You nasty old coot!

****** *******
An OPINIONATED WOMAN!

[Ripley]

LOL!

You nasty old coot!

Excellent.

[LittleApple81]

57. Anybody else sending e-mails? I think he deserves them. n/t

[desi]

48. Not a lady...

but sent a little message anyway. Thanks for the link

"From a former Kansan. That muzzle you wish to put on Mrs. Kerry. Would you have the one you used on the former Mrs. Dole available?"

My bumper sticker during the '96 campaign "Not everybody in Kansas likes Bob Dole."

[LittleApple81]

51. I live in Kansas. I SENT THIS e-mail. I did not call him an old coot but

expressed my displeasure as follows:

Senator Dole: I was surprised to hear you suggesting that an outspoken, intelligent, opinionated woman (Mrs. Teresa Heinz-Kerry) should be muzzled. If that is what you do to Elizabeth at home and she allows you to do it, don't assume that democratic women would need the same treatment.

I am sorry to see you lower yourself to the techniques of the neo-cons. I considered you to be a decent conservative person, but I can see that when the prospects of the republicans losing power appear, your civility, brain, and decency disappear.

I have news for you: to belong to the Neocon republican party does require men to become insulting jerks. I am sorry to see that you have let yourself be dragged to their level.

[Mad_Dem_X]

62. Great email, LittleApple!

Says it all!

[Anwen]

75. Thanks, he just got a message from me! (eom)

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

38. shove it, bob

[ploppy]

40. What Great CaesersGhost said.

n/t

[goclark]

39. Muzzle! Those are for dogs!!!!

See, all those that thought Dole was a Liberal!

If I know THK she will say, " someone said that there is not a muzzle big enough for me."
They are RIGHT!!!
The only part that he did not get right is that I came from a Dictatorship and I am now living in the Land of Freedom.

[CBHagman]

42. Grumpy Old Men Opine 24/7

..and then complain when a woman has anything whatever to say. Go annoy William Bennett, please, Bob.

[tandot]

43. Like the other Repukes he wishes we would have a theocratic dictatorship

were a woman is muzzled and subservient to her husband.


Sorry, Honey! This is a democracy and I say whatever I want to...you can lick my boots and kiss my ass if you don't like it.

Or in other words:

shove it

[returnable]

47. Why does anyone care what Dole says about presidential politics?

No one knows more about blowing presidential campaigns than this guy. So why do pundits seek his "sage" advice on campaign strategy?

It's like asking the captain of the Titanic for navigation tips.

[cthrumatrix]

55. you can't sit there and take this BS from them...you have to fight back

[returnable]

76. I think you missed my point

I didn't say we shouldn't call him on his bullshit.

I was just wondering why anyone gives this loser airtime in the first place. You don't see Gerry Ford on Larry King every other night offering up his insights on how to run a successful campaign :hi:

[Cleita]

50. It seems neo-cons unwittingly show their true sexist and racist

leanings on these occasions. Remember Trent Lott's racist remark about Strom Thurmond on his birthday? Now Bob Dole echoes the ingrained anti-feminism that the Republicans hold dear.

Teresa, Teresa, keep speaking your mind loud and clear. Maybe we will show the real underlying sexism and racism in that whole bunch of right wing hypocrites and liars.

[NRaleighLiberal]

52. Bob Dole is so pathetic - so passe - and his Stepford wife....

Watching him try to keep up with (gasp!) Larry King when he has his crony talking heads on the show - Woodward et al - is laughably pathetic! He had nothing as a candidate, and the poor man is probably so over-Viagra-ed that he is no longer thinking with his northerly brain (just the southern one...if it in fact still works)....Dole is a joke here in NC...completely invisible - but "she looks mahvelous, dahling"....what complete wastes of space. I am sure that Teresa, with her deep and broad intellect, completely intimidates these sorts of people.

[smirkymonkey]

53. Mr. Limp Dick doesn't like women who

say what's on their mind. It makes him all soft and squishy.

[Mad_Dem_X]

60. LMAO!

Exactly - Mr. Viagra can't handle a strong woman...:+

[Carolina]

95. and shriveled

[eissa]

56. Yeah, Bob Dole, and there isn't

a pill out there that will make your saggy, old wrinkled friend big enough, either. Pig.

[otohara]

58. But When She Was A GOP'er -

she was admired...right Bob?

[Karenina]

71. Just another take...

maybe it was a limpdick good ol' boy way of expressing ADMIRATION! ;-)

[Deb]

59. Why didn't he just call her a b*tch?

A muzzle, as in what a barking/biting dog wears...

[TOhioLiberal]

61. I say....

Go to hell, Bob! Yeah Teresa! You keep speaking your mind!

[mumon]

64. Just projecting his despair

at having to take drugs to keep his penis hard.

[MaineDem]

65. I sure hope we can get a transcript or something

THis can't be swept under a rug.

[MissB]

66. Sounds like they are going to replay the interview with Dole in

just a few minutes.

[BiggJawn]

70. Bob? Go eat a "Little Blue Friend"....

And go FUCK yourself!

[Xenus Sister]

80. I called his office

and complained. Here's his information:
Office of Senator Dole
c/o Alston & Bird, North Building
601 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20004
[phone]

If you call, PLEASE BE POLITE. The woman I talked to was very nice and hadn't heard about this. Don't take out your anger on her. Just register a complaint.

[spanone]

72. Hey Bob, put a sock in it. Remember how they hated Hillary. Still do.

Women should all be like Laura. Speak only when spoken to. And smile pretty when they're takin' pictures.

[Manix]

73. no surprise...typical GOP anti-women rhetoric.

[Sahjhan]

74. God forbid if Teresa has an opinion.

That's what's wrong with Republicans: they don't respect women and they expect all women to be "Stepford Wife-like". :grr:

Get out of the Stone Age you stupid republicans!

[Batgirl]

77. thanks Bob

for what's actually a great unintentional compliment.

[MaineDem]

79. I just saw it; I want to scream!

And the "bimbo" news person (and I hate using that term but it fits so perfectly here)just casually laughed his comments away!

This is despicable! The idea of muzzling women is atrocious, even if said in jest!

edited for typo.

[flpoljunkie]

87. Buchanan just said of THK, "You mean the Martha Mitchell of the Dem Party"

These people deal in character assassination; they are not worthy of holding elective offfice in our democracy. They will do and say anything to maintain power, and they utterly despicable, without honor or integrity.

[LuminousX]

81. Wow... I used to have a modicum of respect for him... totally gone now

There were always a handful of 'elder statesmen' in the GOP I respected. That number is dwindling quickly. The entire party can just go to hell and those few that remember what it is to be a statesman had better jump ship and form a new party.

[Dastard Stepchild]

82. Funny... I felt the same way about Liddy.

Not cuz she's a woman. Just because I couldn't take the ramblings spewing forth from that mouth o' hers.

[Pachamama]

83. Email his office and call and tell them what you think of his comments....

http://www.bobdole.org

202-654-4848

Let them know what you think of his "Muzzling" Teresa Heinz Kerry comment...and women in general....

While we are at it, lets call "Libby" and ask if she gets muzzled regularly....

[midnight armadillo]

84. He might have been joking

Ok, I haven't seen the clip but Bob Dole is well known for his somewhat clever and occasionally mean quips, and might have been complimenting her in a backhanded sort of way. I believe the usual description of him mentions 'praire wit'.

Example of Bob Dole: "One of my most often repeated quips was the one I made when former Presidents Carter, Ford and Nixon stood by each other at a White House event. 'There they are,' I said. 'See no evil, hear no evil, and . . . evil.'"

Or another:
"He gets so much in speaking fees these days that when I saw him in New York the other night and said hello to him he said, 'That'll be $10.'"
(Bob Dole speaking about how much former President Bill Clinton earns on the public speaking circuit)

So the possibility exists that he was just trying to be funny. Like I said, I don't know, I haven't seen the clip, so don't jump down my throat.

[Pachamama]

86. What he said was sexist & misogynist - Nothing funny about that n/t

:grr:

[LuminousX]

91. Inappropriate, no matter what the gender of the person is

[Pachamama]

93. Your right -him saying that about any person would have been inappropriate

...but the fact that someone of his stature and political position and who "claims" he was a friend of the now deceased Sen. Heinz would suggest such a thing when asked about what he thinks of Teresa Heinz Kerry, is just disgusting....it would have been wrong for him to say it about Kerry as well...but the fact that it was him directing it at her for stating her opinion in matters makes it sexist and it pissed me off.

Pachamama is mad :grr:

[democrat_patriot]

85. Thread with Dole contact info

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2147365

[Generator]

89. No, that's right THERE ISN'T

It's not 1954. We are not shutting up. It sucks doesn't it? For old men like you, especially. Now, shove it. You are in my way!!!!!!!!

[Bluebear]

96. Fine. Muzzle "Libbie" too if that's the case, Viagraman

[Pachamama]

99. Ask Libby Dole if she likes being muzzled....Doggy Muzzle or Ball Gag?

Before he takes Viagra or after? :spank:

[afraid_of_the_dark]

97. It's too bad he's intimidated by an intelligent woman. n/t

[goclark]

98. I blasted that old ugly dog

I said...

Senator Viagra,

Maybe you need a muzzle to talk about Viagra on television!
It was and still is,IMO, a strange way for a former Senator to earn money. Your ads are an insult to the Senate and to the American people!

I demand an apology!

[wicket]

100. kick!

:kick:
