2. Hey Candace -- did you stand up to McCain when he called his wife a cunt?
Didn't think so. So STFU.

5. Yeah, I don't remember Republican women getting upset over
McCain snickering at Hillary being called a "bitch".

7. I think the voters of Michigan owe America an apology...
... for raising someone so obviously fact challenged to a position of responsibility.

16. EXACTLY!! This is the sort of "half crazed" political hacks ...
....that gave us that other crazed fruitcake that called the Representative from Pennsylvania a "traitor", or whatever the hell it was.

Nice job MI....you better take a close look at what sort of idiots you have representing you in Washington.

This gross bitch needs to do a little homework before she spouts off about needing her "apologies". She needs to give one to the people of MI. What an ignorant pig w/o lipstick.

... what? The first minute of that was gushing over Palin... was she trying to drum up support for her candidate? In the House? Isn't everyone in the House essentially, you know, a decided voter?

Or is she just a dipshit?

14. How DARE this woman pull this crap
on the floor of the House?

This is SO fucking unacceptable, so breaking with tradition, so utterly without regard for the most meager of civilities, she should be fucking BANISHED for regurgitating Republican talking points in such a (formerly) hallowed place.

I swear, these women make me want to rethink my vagina.............

18. Send her your disapproval
at opening her mouth without knowing what she was talking about. Now that clips of McCain using that same phrase have come out, she must feel like a bozo.

20. I just wrote a short, scathing email, using that link,
and when I hit submit, got a window that said, "Not a district member."

I wonder if that means her site only accepts messages from her direct constituents.

Isn't that nifty? Never have to hear from the rest of the world. Nice and safe and isolated from the consequences of your own bad acts.

Who else does that remind you of? (Hint: currently squatting illegally in the White House.)

24. don't write, call.
I just did & the woman who answered told me how offended she was. She also said others were offended & the MSM has picked it up. Then she asked if I was from her district. She hung up when I said no. So of course, I immediately called back & let her know that in this age of internet tubes that all politics is national & that I will be donating to Rep. Miller's next opponent & that donation double because she got angry & hung up on me. We're taking this country back one dumb ass at a time!

They are not offended that people are suffering everywhere, but they're fucking offended when someone uses a long standing political barb. WTF!

31. Great action!
This woman goes on national television and disparages Obama for simply using a phrase that is well known and well understood, and then her office won't speak to anyone that's not in her little ole district? That's a little arrogant, don't you think?

I wasn't aware that McCain/Palin had a copyright on the phrase "lipstick on a pig", so Obama can use it anyway he sees fit. It did not offend me one bit and I don't appreciate this old haglet acting like she has authority to speak for "the women of America". She is obviously way out of touch.

33. If you are using the congressional site,
they all do that. I could not send a message to a congressman from Illinois who represented a different district (and party) than mine. ;)

35. On the one hand, I can certainly understand that;
but, when a Member takes on a national topic like the Presidential campaign, all voters should be able to be heard.

Of course, living right here in the DC area, I could have picked up the phone and called that shrew's office, but, I'm sure - as happened to another DU member who called - the person on the other end would have hung up on me.

36. I agree and our ex republican definitely needed to hear from
his fellow Illinoisans. Unfortunately that is the way it was and is set up. Sometimes the way these government sites are sit up is frustrating. Like having to pick a topic on what you are contacting your representive about, and what do you do if your topic is not listed. :grr:

Anyway, when I did manage to contact him with an angry message, he sent me back a thank you for agreeing with him on the issue. :wtf:

38. He had done this to others also......
but fortunately for us, Hastert has retired now and his seat now belongs to a Democrat. Hastert was a pimple on the backside of humanity as far as I was concerned.

Well, then, your story makes sense. Talk about big flaming whores. He was shameless, and it's a blessing he's gone.

21. my email to congresswoman whats her face.
Dear Congresswoman,

With regards to your "outrage" over Sen. Obama's referring to continuing 8 years of failed policy as "putting lipstick on a pig" I believe it is you, Congresswoman, who owes the American public an apology for spewing republican talk points on the floor of the House.

27. Speaking of jokes...
Hey Candice! Did you like McCain's joke about being raped by a gorilla?

And, don't you have better things to do, like something positive for your state? How's the employment rate up there since Bush and Co. have been in charge?

The women of America deserve an apology from McCain for hoisting such a pitiful example of woman-hood on America! Repugs never do anything until after Dems have done it 1st....like talk about change...or try to get a woman elected as VP ...and this year, president! But the GOP always makes a joke of it. Look at their version: a beauty queen runner-up who spends her time trying to be just one of the boys...gutting moose, shooting anything that moves... with a teenage unwed pregnant daughter. She's a GOP redneck's wet dream! I'm sure she'll be fetching coffee for all the guys in the White House as soon as she's elected. Isn't that what her religion tells her that her role should be?


The intelligent people of America and especially Michigan deserve an apology for YOU.... and your joke of a party.

28. YOU owe the women of America an apology,
for flat out lying to their faces. Unless this woman is of substandard intelligence, which I agree may be the case, she KNEW Obama was talking about McLame's economic policy, not Pallin.

Apparently she is unaware of the intertubes and the Google, not to mention Youtube.

Not just yours. You can be skinny and be an idiot, but no one comments on their size, just the fat ones. :grr:

42. You Are Right
...and I want to apologize for that remark. Sometimes in the heat of the moment we grab at whatever we can to hit back with a satirical comeback; unfortunately, it is easy to use superficial or stereotypical or physical traits as fodder for our comments. You are quite correct, stupidity knows no size, no race, no color, no gender, no nationality, no physical characteristic....

We all sercome to temptation here on the DU sometimes. I have posted things I thought was smart and funny only to wish later that I could go back and take down the STUPID comment.

But thanks for the apology. All us "fat women" appreciate the acknowledgement that "stupidity knows no size, no race, no color, no gender, no nationality, no physical characteristic...."

Again welcome to DU.
