From personnel experience, it's not just women. n/t OnlinePoker Jun 2014 #118

You are right. Beacool Jun 2014 #123

All in the day for someone tasked with excusing the crimes of Reagan and the Bushes. FSogol Jun 2014 #80

That would be nice. But he won't go willingly. riqster Jun 2014 #150

Crusty old white men commenting on women's issues. The mind boggles. Initech Jun 2014 #31

Or perhaps DOES know about, as suggested elsewhere on this thread. riqster Jun 2014 #48

He's always been a jerk. Often it's not worth arguing with jerks: struggle4progress Jun 2014 #32

Arguing with, agreed. Public shaming is worthwhile, though. riqster Jun 2014 #45

I'm totally for public shaming. I notice he's so concerned about BlancheSplanchnik Jun 2014 #130

Yeah, adult males are not an oppressed class. Will is trying to keep his power intact. riqster Jun 2014 #133

Very well put, Madame. riqster Jun 2014 #63

Hey, George. What does it feel like to have your head up your ass? TiredOfNo Jun 2014 #51

Exactly. AverageJoe90 Jun 2014 #59

He should be able to answer, having lots of experience with such contortions. riqster Jun 2014 #64

In Will's case, being a privileged idiot Jackpine Radical Jun 2014 #53

Stick a fork in him, he's done. MADem Jun 2014 #54

A misogynistic fuckwit is George. riqster Jun 2014 #66

And his statement needs to be spread, repeatedly, as Akin's misogyny was. riqster Jun 2014 #69

George Will is a know nothing piece of shit. That he pretends to be intelligent Rex Jun 2014 #60

Front row seat? Hell, a starring role: riqster Jun 2014 #70

He deserves endless encores! Rex Jun 2014 #87

And Sarah Palin can provide the musical accompaniment. riqster Jun 2014 #89

Maybe they can do a duet to Great Ball's of Fire and Brimestone. Rex Jun 2014 #112

Arthur Brown's "Fire" is a natural: riqster Jun 2014 #114

I think Ring of Fire would be a good one too. Rex Jun 2014 #116

And Alice Cooper: riqster Jun 2014 #117

Hard to top Alice Cooper. Rex Jun 2014 #119

WTF. n/t, only emoticons. Chan790 Jun 2014 #67

Very succinct. riqster Jun 2014 #73

George Will is an asshole deutsey Jun 2014 #68

True. Birchism is quite profitable these days. riqster Jun 2014 #74

If it confers such privilege, he should rush to get such privilege. riqster Jun 2014 #75

"#SurvivorPrivilege", brilliant takedown. riqster Jun 2014 #78

The problem I have with Will's argument Harmony Blue Jun 2014 #86

If this fucker's words aren't proof enough of the pervasiveness of misogyny bullwinkle428 Jun 2014 #88

Yah hey. Proof positive that rape culture exists. riqster Jun 2014 #90

Why the WP still prints his column I do not know. yellowcanine Jun 2014 #91

Money and power. Only reasons I can think of. riqster Jun 2014 #92

I suspect 90% of WP readers would not miss George Will yellowcanine Jun 2014 #95

Here's hoping they make enough noise to cause his cancellation. riqster Jun 2014 #96

Will's argument T2- Jun 2014 #93

Base in every sense of the word. riqster Jun 2014 #94

The sponsors of Will's show and Wapo and its advertisers need to hear from merrily Jun 2014 #98

Good question. riqster Jun 2014 #99

Apparently, he is at FOX now. Don't know if I'd bother sending them a protest. merrily Jun 2014 #102

A very good idea. riqster Jun 2014 #104

We have to learn to go after them where they love to go after us. The wallet. merrily Jun 2014 #106

Every time I think my level of disgust cannot be exceeded the Republicans The Traveler Jun 2014 #103

I can relate. My OP was written AFTER I had calmed down somewhat. riqster Jun 2014 #105

Will's not "circling the drain," he's "circling the event horizon" by now MisterP Jun 2014 #107

Bordering on a parallel universe? That would fit. riqster Jun 2014 #109

Well done, Will. Keep flapping that pie hole! TygrBright Jun 2014 #110

Best pun ever! riqster Jun 2014 #111

Same here, albeit a different gender. riqster Jun 2014 #140

My reaction exactly to Mr. Will catrose Jun 2014 #127

Such an attitude as he has is hard to comprehend. riqster Jun 2014 #141

This what he opens thread with Leme Jun 2014 #128

I think it's slightly different: he is attacking progressive thinking. riqster Jun 2014 #142

well, i think he is calling the colleges progressive Leme Jun 2014 #143

I agree with you, I just don't think he is stopping there. riqster Jun 2014 #146

well we do know the KKKoch brothers underthematrix Jun 2014 #129

Well, that seems like a consensual relationship. riqster Jun 2014 #149

Next column packman Jun 2014 #132

Sad, but he well might think thus. riqster Jun 2014 #138

...and he's supposed to be one of their "intellectuals"???? LoisB Jun 2014 #144

Pseudo-intellectual, I would say. riqster Jun 2014 #145

Spoken like a True Serial Rapist, Georgie. 2banon Jun 2014 #147

He's a sicko, that is for sure. riqster Jun 2014 #148

Exactly, calling in to question (for me) a step above 'tolerance' levels.. 2banon Jun 2014 #153

An outcome to be devoutly wished. riqster Jun 2014 #154

Fuck George Will. blackspade Jun 2014 #151

No, thanks, I'm not into sex with venomous reptiles. riqster Jun 2014 #152
