Wow! Apparently a girl can't go to work and ignore this place for a few hours without being lambasted.
I speak only for myself, but for the most part I find the women on here to be reasonable, thoughtful and intelligent. I think I'd like to meet most of them. What I don't like is folks who come on here, lumping us all into one group, assuming we all agree on everything and SHOUTING at us all.
I think at some point many of us have had some heated exchanges but when the dust settles, cooler heads prevail and peace is once more restored in the VP kingdom.
I'm tired of responding to people who won't listen. I will no longer engage in this juvenile debate.

Dear Ann (Annie?), about that "lesbo posse" o'mine:
1. I would never lead a posse that would have me for a member.
2. I was parodying Sarah Pain's Katie Couric interview. You remember that one, right? The one where she couldn't name a single periodical that she reads or any Supreme Court case she disagrees with other than Roe v. Wade.
3. Calling BS when someone posts an unsourced, silly, or unreasonable argument is not "beating up on them." If you're Annie Oakley then put on your big girl panties and quit whining every time someone stands up to your BS.

I don't know if anyone is returning to this thread, but maybe VP will use this as a subject to create a new one.
Chalk it up to another Obama-anti-gay, throwin-someone-under-the-bus routine:
Wanda Sykes is taking the fall for another Obama/Axelrodrod mistake. Those who were informed about the DNC convention knows that Axelrod leaves nothing to chance: Wanda's routine before she went performed it.
At the democratic convention the DNC (Axelrod) insisted upon seeing every single speech before anyone got up on stage. They complained because Hillary was not ready with her speech "until the last minute". They control the message always, and now that there's some negative fall-out re Syke's routine the Obama admin is letting her get torn apart by the media. I wish there was a way to confirm that her routine was ok'd by someone in the admin.
A black gay woman being used as a scapegoat...just like the guy who took the fall for the flight over NYC...
Thank you, Obama.

I finally got to watch this, but I just want to say how PROUD I am that an out lesbian was a headlining speaker! Just a few years ago this would never have happened. Change is small but it happens.

Clearly, Wanda was referencing Lush Rumball saying he "hopes Obama fails." Her joke was kind of lame in a playgroundy way. "Oh, yeah well I hope your kidney fails." One of the side effects of addiction to hillbilly heroin (Rumball's drug of choice) is kidney failure.
As usual, the wingnuts have gone overboard in attacking her and making Rumball the victim. Yep; this is the same guy who said:
"She sounds like a screeching ex-wife." --on Sen. Hillary Clinton
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
“The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down”
I really hope she doesn't apologize.

A quote, which explains why the "joke" about Rush was pretty horrible and not doing Wanda's karma a whole lotta good:
"For those who understand kidney failure, what Ms. Sykes was saying was she wanted Rush Limbaugh in lingering excruciating pain, unable to process body fluids, fevered and finally lapsing into a coma."

A serious issue - we Texans don't require first kudos - at the end will do nicely! We generally keep it quiet - keep our bidding under wraps! Exceptions to that rule are our Governor and Walker, Texas Ranger!
So we have to find some nice drag king and queen to set in charge? Does Texas have enough money to pay for a set of crown jewels? The possibilities are really delightful!

Isn’t it funny how women rip into Palin, who is personally pro-life, while MEN dominate the so-called “right-to-life” movement?
Palin hasn't done a thing to take away women's right to choose, but our very own POTUS now says the Freedom of Choice Act is not "a legislative priority" (after having LIED to an audience of women at Planned Parenthood before the election, saying FOCA would be the VERY FIRST BILL HE'D SIGN AS PRESIDENT!)
Hail Rick Warren! Hail Obama!

Palin "hasn’t done a thing to take away women’s right to choose" unless you call backing an Alaska bill that would require parental consent before girls under age 17 could get an abortion "a thing".
Then there's the whole 'charging rape victims for the hospital rape kit' thing. Yeah, she's pro-woman.
Don't really know what her stance on abortion has to do with whether we think she's nothing more than a pawn for the Republican party chosen as McCain's running mate simply because she's female.
