At a recent rally for Republican Bob McDonnell, who’s running against Democrat Creigh Deeds in Virginia’s gubernatorial election, BET co-founder and major McDonnell donor Sheila Johnson went after Deeds’ tendency to stutter and stammer when he’s speaking. Johnson pretended to stutter and said that it showed Deeds was “not articulate” and couldn’t communicate effectively:

JOHNSON: We need someone who can really communicate, and Bob McDonnell can communicate. The other people I talk to, and especially his op-p-p-p-ponent (INAUDIBLE). He could not articulate what needed to be done. So communication is hugely important.

Watch it:

Not Larry Sabato noted that when McConnell went up to speak, he didn’t comment on Johnson’s “joke.”

1. Spread this video around...
Kim Campbell's Tories got slaughtered when they ridiculed Jean Chretien's speech impediment.

5. That "woman" can go fuck herself
And in case I stettered, I'll say it again, that "woman" can go fuck herself. I underwent speech therapy many years ago to cure a stettering problem and still stutter sometimes. It does not reflect on a person's intelligence if they are a stutterer but it does reflect on a person's intelligence when they make crude jokes about it.

8. Better not nominate Stephen Hawking for any office.
He has to have a machine talk for him, so he must be really stupid.
