Bush's domestic policy adviser: 飡𠑥l Never Hire Another Woman Because They Just Get Pregnant & Leav

Karl Zinsmeister is currently President Bush𠏋 chief domestic policy adviser, hired when Claude Allen stepped down after being charged with shoplifting.

Before joining the White House, Zinsmeister was editor in chief of The American Enterprise, the conservative think tank𠏋 magazine. In a piece he wrote in 1996, Zinsmeister stated, �olorblindness has become a real risk today. � The penalty for the person who, ignoring race, turns down the wrong street today can literally be death.�

A new article in The New Republic shows that Zinsmeister was also hostile toward women. A former American Enterprise editor, Karina Rollins, remembers that Zinsmeister constantly attacked the magazine𠏋 art director, Jo Roback-Paul, criticizing her for going to a doctor𠏋 appointment and for taking maternity leave:

But the biggest grievance harbored by the magazine𠏋 staff concerned Zinsmeister himself. 鐈e went to his son𠏋 basketball game, and then he would give Jo a hard time about a doctor𠏋 appointment,� Rollins says. � While Zinsmeister frequently complained about Roback-Pal to other staffers at the magazine � telling Cadiz that she was 𠀾seless� and 忛ever there� � her former colleagues say that she never missed a deadline and that he was 弌busive� toward her. When she angered him by taking a four-month maternity leave, Zinsmeister told Cadiz, 𨧻 am never going to hire another woman because they just get pregnant and leave.�

5. Why do these fuckwits think that they value family more than us

when they pull shit like this? He clearly has no respect for women, and his respect for "unborn life" clearly does not extend to the mothers.
