Your post made me think of the pancake beret bunny too. Of course you're right others are watching what you are, but it's still out of left field for those of us who aren't.

S.E. Cupp on The Cycle??? MSNBC She is pretty universally disliked here on DU. And she annoys the hell out of me on a regular basis. And she is part of the regular crew on The Cycle. As the Republican rep....for balance.

She thinks she is something else. Just watch her. Betcha if you asked her she'd tell you her doodie doesn't stink. She passes for intelligent...sometimes....but she is just so SURE of herself that she can be really annoying and difficult watch. Oh and I think another term that might describe her to a Tee.....SMUG.

for "unfair" things.

You know, like being called out for being a tart, and using that as her stock in trade.

It was a classic Republican maneuver - being an enormous bully to the less fortunate in the world while crying victim.

That's good old Sippy Cup.

or, perhaps, more likely, a well-developed persecution complex at a young age.

Which prepared her well for a lifetime as a Republican pundit.

she's working her assets as hard as she can.

As a New Yorker, I'm more susceptible to that presentation, but even I can see through her.

why you would feel the need to make the effort to judge another's use of a word.

Can't you do something more productive?

I don't see why it is puzzling.

"chick" btw is an objectifying word.
I have given my disapproval, do with it as you will.

it is simply slang english with no negative connotation. He/she is a cool dude/chick. He/she is one uncool dude/chick.

btw, the chick in question falls into the latter category.

If I'd known her name I would have identified her by it.

to realize that a part of the lexicon at the time, which was never used in a disparaging manner, doesn't impede one's progress at all.

So, anyway, it's me, gateley, who used the word. And here's a little DU hint: you don't have to click on the thread to see who wrote it, only to pass judgment and prove how politically correct you are.

trying to audition to be the younger replacement version of Sarah Palin, but she flopped.

So now Sippy is trying to see if she can work that look, and her caustic style, into a career in punditry.

hack to make a show stink that badly, even Cupp is not capable of that level of stank all on her own. And since these things matter in her line of work, it should be made very clear that no, she does not have her own show nor should she ever be permitted to have an entire show of her own.
I saw bits of two of those Cycle shows last week and man, what a bupke. So forced, so over animated and just annoying.
