Time for that Booster Shot

Jump to Comments

Dear John:

I’m not sure why today was the day I decided to pop in and see what you hip boyz had been dishing up. Maybe I was hoping things had changed? Now that your candidate (I’ll be voting for him so don’t get the wrong impression) has the nomination, perhaps I wanted to believe we were coming together – all unity-like.

Or, that maybe you’d taken a hefty dose of antibiotics for your oft-diagnosed case of Clinton Derangement Syndrome. Looks like you still need a booster shot for that misogyny:

Now that Hillary [Senator Clinton to you, or can't you respect her just a little?] is back in fundraising mode, in an effort to pay off her tens of millions of dollars in debt [seems you missed this tidbit - "Many of you also know that my campaign is facing debt. That happens when you're outspent...I have also loaned money to the campaign which I consider an investment...I'm not expecting anybody to help pay that back."] wracked up by continuing her campaign to damage Obama [because he is soooo far behind McSame, you see] long after she’d already lost the race, Hillary and her people are putting out this talking point that Hillary took on the “highest and hardest glass ceilings.” I don’t buy it. [No. You simply don't get it.] Maybe because I grew up in Chicago, but blacks had it far worse than women where I lived, and they still do where I live now. That doesn’t mean women don’t face prejudice [nice disclaimer], but compare a 16 year old black guy to a 16 year old white woman [let me count the ways why this doesn't even make sense as the cornerstone of this cute little hit job], and tell me who in America faces a higher and harder ceiling [plenty of people face glass ceilings, again - not your point - imo] ? I don’t like to compare suffering [really, you don't??], and debate who is more worthy [protesting a little too much?], but this talking point is a little offensive to blacks and anyone else [like Sen. Clinton?] still fighting for the rights in America (last time I checked, Hillary could get married.) [I'm a lesbian, I get the marriage inequality thing] Also, this totally misrepresents Hillary’s campaign [but you never would, would you? *wink*], and why she lost. She wasn’t the feministh candidate [w.h.a.t.e.v.e.r.] until she saw that she had lost the race and needed a Hail Mary [this is where you really take it to a new level]. And, she didn’t lose the race because of the glass ceiling [is she saying that? really, is that what you think, you sly feminist, you?], she lost because of a failure to plan, and hubris. Name one state in which Obama did better than Hillary because she was a woman and he was “only” black? I had promised myself I wasn’t going to let her annoy me any more. Ugh.” [Ugh is right. I am now promising myself I'll not let you annoy me any more.]

[emphasis clearly mine]

 

 

Screw you. And your orchids.

Sincerely,

Crack #17,458,002 in that pretend glass ceiling
