If the jackboot fits, march in it.

And of course, the angered women in these female-dominated
constituencies would never think that maybe, just maybe, they've earned
this so-called tough talk.  Oh no.  They've just "begun to question"
the person who supposedly is talking tough.  Never your fault, is it
ladies?  Someone else is always to blame.

And what's this whining about "tough talk?"  An relaxation hypnosis
tape would seem like tough talk to these hypersensitive ninnies.

I don't suppose you could be a bit more specific, Miss Rose Ann de
Mono.

Ooooooooh.  Aaaahhhh.  What an impressive position that is!

That's not bullying.  I'm sure he could bully, but he hasn't so far.
If you want an example of bullying, look at your comrades at the
Democratic People's Republic of Harvard.  They're giving Dr. Lawrence
Summers a commie show trial because he dared question their orthodoxy.

Yeah right.  Dogged.  He brushed off those hysterical accusations like
so much stale confetti.

Do you really really think that he goes to his wife for advise on
policy?  Jimmy Carter asked his daughter Amy about this or that.  It
doesn't mean she was a de facto member of his cabinet.

He's no more open now than he was before, as they would have called him
sexist anyway, and we wouldn't even be hearing about it if he weren't
trying to defund feminazi pork.

True is true, no matter whom it hurts.

Indeed, they've gone from near silence to something that closely
resembles the nighttime chirping of crickets.

Not according to they who elected him.

Bull fucking shit.  My teachers were bitches who stuck it to the boys
whenever they could, unless the boys acted like girls, which most
didn't.  (Calm down, Nancy Hopkins.)

Only when they're giving me morphine.
