Humor: Our First Female President

Worth reading, Maureen Dowd's op-ed in today's Times.

Summary -- the McC choice of Palin is the plot of a low budget chick flick. Now, picking up the story where it left off...

The wrinkly white haired dude and the VP-chick win the election and just after he's inaugurated, the old guy dies suddenly and she's sworn in, over the objections of all the white males on the old dude's staff and the leading members of Congress including the fat white male Speaker of the House played by John Goodman (ignoring for a moment that the actual Speaker is a spry foxy grandma type). Donald Sutherland plays the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who does the swearing-in.

She gets a chance to redecorate the Oval Office in pink and throws a frat party at the White House for her friends from Alaska, who do funny farting and belching scenes in austere parts of the White House supervised by stuffy old maids and butlers and a corrupt Chief of Staff who the chick-Pres fires when she finds out he's been mean to one of her Alaskan friends.

Things are settling down to normal when the second Cuban Missile Crisis starts. It's looking pretty tough for our heroine when her husband, riding his snowmobile across the Bering Straight, throws a keg party for the guys manning the Russian missile silos in Kamchatka and convinces them to reprogram the computers to point their missiles back at Moscow. The Russians, who are fed up with white men too, and want to break their own glass ceiling, overthrow Putin and elect a hot Russian babe to be President, and the final scene is a summit meeting in a hot tub with the two Presidents comparing breast pumping techniques, drinking a beer and of course enjoying a moose bratwurst.

Turns out Russians and Alaskans have a lot more in common than you might think.

This is pretty vicious and I don't care if Maureen O'Dowd started it. You have reduced Governor Palin to a bimbo and added the "hot babe" comment to seal the blatant misogynist theme of this utterly juvenile
post.

Think I'm being too "sensitive" and that, like all feminists, I "lack a sense of humor" about these things? Tell you what, why don't you run this past Michelle Obama and see what she thinks. (Hint - I don't think she's going to think this is funny, at all. And, neither will Senator Obama.)

Mirri...you should know that Palin will be running for the number 2 spot. Male supremacy trrumps once again ...and as VP, Sarah won't necessarily have the power of DIck Cheney.

She's probably a nice enough gal, but you are not in this case voting pink. You would be voting grey.
Better not to vote at all, in that case.

Check out this video to see Obama tell you what he thinks of the Biblical Sermon on the Mount.

Then you will be cemented to the McCain Palin ticket.
If you don't know what the Sermon was look here. Simply, it was a continuation of the 10 Commandments. Rules MOST civilized people live by. Regardless of its religious connections.

To Barack Hussein Obama, this Sermon is "SO RADICAL" in its application, that the military might of the USA could not survive it. This is THE most telling speech I have heard from this man, proving to me that he is not safe for our traditions and way of life.
These are the "rules" we have lived with for a few hundred years in this country and seems to have worked pretty damn good to me. If these rules "are so radical" to this man, how in the hell can we possibly elect him. This video needs to be shown nationally. I wonder if it will be pulled from yt.

Is this man the man YOU want as President?

[ggm68]

WOW, did you ever miss the point Obama was making in that speech! And the narrator of the video even has the gall to first take Obama's remarks out of context and then criticize him for taking parts of the bible out of context! Obama's point about the sermon on the mount was that Jesus' words SHOULD BE the words we live by, but our country's leadership is so screwed up that instead those principles WOULD be regarded as radical and dangerous by the people in power. Not that I expect to be able to convince you. None so blind, etc.

You completely distort the truth for your own benefit and so did this video. That is why as a faithful christian I stay away from haters such as yourself. No real christian would do the things that you do and certainly not in the name of God. It's no wonder intelligent people avoid organized religion.

[Mirri]

I think the Oval Office should be pink--for a change. McCain's pick shows real change for America, a much-needed change to end the male supremacy in the White House, and therefore I will give Palin my Hillary vote. Vote Pink. Vote Palin.

[bwilder]

Yeah, like you ever planned to vote for Hillary.

Oh- and thanks for your overwhelming concern for your country, our military men and
women, my right to do what I wish with my uterus, and the 47 million Americans who
cannot afford to get an MRI or buy health insurance. Oh yea, and let's not forget you
outrage at a possible VP that thinks global warmer is NOT a man made issue.
Perhaps when YOUR children or grandchildren are dealing with the consequences you'll
look back at that pink oval office with pride?

[sweetieheartsobama]

Good luck with that one.

Haven't Americans suffered enough already under rethuglican rules???

[huffblow]

WOW!!! Good for you. Check out this video to see Obama tell you what he thinks of the Biblical Sermon on the Mount.

huffblow - did you really believe that video of Obama? Or is it that your existing bias made that video so believable to you?

1. First - the video was cut and spliced together (you can easily tell from watching it). It would have been nice to be able to see the full uncut video and judge for oneself

2. Even given the lack of context since the video was cut in between, what was spliced together wasn't offensive; you simply took the words of the narrator - how very gullible. And dangerous

Do yourself a favor - believe whatever you will but please spare us from false information. Do you really think that Obama would have the audacity to so hate America's way of life and yet campaign to be its President? You think all those brilliant and accomplished people that make his campaign successful are fools?

Jeez!!!
