an economic girlie man and the bush twins

Posted in politics at 10:49 pm by

Arnold, Arnold, Arnold. Perhaps you’ve forgotten about the ruffled feminist feathers that you raised during your own election regarding your harassment of women on your movie sets. You remember, right? The ones you’ve fondled, objectified, and degraded. So, you’ll have to pardon me when you use the phrase “economic girlie man” to describe policies you perceive as economically weak is offensive.

Feminists everywhere should be righteously angered by such a statement. The comparison of an economic policy to being a “girlie man’s policy” reeks of the fact that you don’t have much respect for women. I suppose though given Arnold’s track record that shouldn’t surprise me.

If any of you watched Arnold’s address to the Republican National Assembly you know what I’m referring to by picking on his use of the term “girlie man.” The speech was laden with Terminatorisms. It was a bit sickening really, and I thought that was the end but then who else shows up on stage but the Bush twins.

We get to listen to the Bush twins giggle, breath akwardly into the mic, and prattle on and on about, well, nothing. You know W should really have his daughters introduce him more often. He speaks well in comparison to them.

I’ve got to say, apart from policy of all sorts, the public speaking of all sorts of the RNC this evening left a bit to be desired. I would’ve imagined that for a spot on National Television a bit more thought would’ve been put into the content of the speeches of the evening.

Though, I should take care in railing the content of the speeches of the night too much. It’s more the delivery. Content wise, this convention is geared toward securing the moderate vote. Arnold, Rudy and their friends seek to convince all conservatives that W is going to go to bat for them, that America is safer, that war was necessary.

I guess not much to say, really, about this. I just find the juxtaposition of Arnold and the Bush twins interesting. I hope that the Republicans don’t forget that to carry the day in November they’ll need to avoid degrading women, and sounding immature and ditsy. Best of luck.
