This Is What Is Wrong With The Democratic Party – UPDATED WITH VIDEO LINK

That men like James Carville do not see why blatant disrespect for women in this manner is a problem. I am speaking, of course, of the Favreau photograph. You know, this one:

Of course, the former Romney spokesman wasn’t much better, but he did not go off like Carville did about how this is a non-issue, people are stupid if they think it is (paraphrasing just a tad) and Favreau is SO talented. What a freaking jackass. Major H/T to SFIndiePuma (via Riverdaughter) for providing this video link


As if I had not already lost respect for Carville over his actions during the Primary/Election. Why is someone like him still speaking for the Democrats?? As long as they have people like HIM speaking for them, especially on WOMEN’S issues, I won’t touch ‘em with a ten foot pole. Jagoff.

Believe it or not, I wasn’t even planning on writing about this today – I was GOING to talk about how Governor Blagojevich of IL was just thrown into the Federal slammer. Oh, and how the governor is trying to pressure Bank of America to give into the Republic Window and Door company in Chicago that shut its doors without paying the employees their severance pay (Bank of America is the one that provided a LOAN to the company that shut down). That had been my plan. But then I saw the video of that assholic Carville, and just had to share.

Holy crap. No wonder things suck for women in this country when you have people like that on national television downplaying it as a non-issue and BERATING those of us who want this sexist pig held accountable. The Old Boys Club is not just alive and well, it is taking in new members. Disgusting. And I am disgusted at what this party has become. It has lost its way. It has lost, no, it sold, its soul this year. And women are paying the price for it.

As for Blagojevich being arrested for , though, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving man. Too bad it didn’t happen sooner, but hey – there’s still time, right? Not that Teflon Man’s minions aren’t already explaining this one away. Whatever. But somewhere, way deep down inside, they know that where there is smoke, there is fire. And Obama’s associates have been burning for a while now – they just refuse to, or cannot, admit it. Eventually, it will sink in. At least I hope so.
