Why not call it "the eruption of brainless erections?"

Edited on Wed Nov-30-11 04:44 PM by kpete

The Eruption of Bimbos

This is the way one is to describe some male politician having a history of extramarital affairs, I guess. Jon Huntsman:
Jon Huntsman doubled down on criticizing rival Herman Cain's presidential campaign in light of new allegations that he had a 13-year affair.

"We�ve got real issues to talk about, not the latest bimbo eruption," Huntsman said to the Boston Herald on Wednesday.

.....................

Bimbo, in its popular English language usage, describes a woman who is physically attractive but is perceived to have a low intelligence or poor education. The term can also be used to describe a woman who acts in a sexually promiscuous manner. The term itself is not explicitly negative, but is most often used as a derogative insult towards a woman.

1. Hate the term? Blame a Democrat, unfortunately.

It was Clinton's Carville-led campaign team that introduced the term "bimbo eruption" into the American political lexicon.

2. Bimbo puts the emphasis on the wrong party...

Your idea is a much better one.

Huntsman, along with the other Republican presidential candidates, is being sexist. And why am I not surprised?

7. The 'wrong party' is BOTH parties.

Trying to say either one alone is to blame is missing the point, imo.

Bimbo eruption is a bad term and one that shouldn't be in the lexicon for us. Neither should its opposite.

Now how to go about assigning blame to both? 'Fool-headed idiocy eruption'? :P

3. That's the power from decades of gender objectification or exploitation propaganda.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

6. I would love a google bomb of "the eruption of brainless erections"

I would like it defined by the appropriate number of applicable current pub politicians.
