	Honestly, the olol the womens on the rag olol PMS didn't get me quite as much as his referring to Spanish as "illegal alien." Spanish. The language. I just. asdldsjhf. Also, I imagine Republican strategists are shouting the same thing as your subject line. Heh heh heh. (Reply to this)

	People still actually say that shit? Referring to Spanish as "illegal alien" was spectacularly classy, too. (Reply to this)(Thread)

My grandfather's pink card proclaims him to be a legal alien. (Backstory: My grandfather's a pathologist, and he's qualified to work in New York State, so he fills in for a couple of pathologists in the 'States when they're lovely wives drag them off to be social for a change. I always got a huge kick out of the fact that my grandfather was an alien, even though I knew what they meant.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

This reminds me, for some reason, of an encounter my father had with Liddy. For the first couple years after they retired and moved to Cape Cod, they both got a job at a local florists' for the extra cash and to have something to do. My father had a delivery job with them, and he actually quite enjoyed it -- because, he said, "everyone is happy to see you when you show up." However, the one and only time he made a delivery was sometime one summer when he was asked to deliver two arrangements to a hotel in Hyannis. One was to another GOP bigwig staying at the hotel -- and the other was to G. Gordon Liddy. He was asked to bring each arrangement to their rooms directly. The other GOP guy was gracious about it -- but Dad said that Liddy gave him a dirty look the entire time that my father was dropping off the flowers (and asking him to sign for them, etc.) I think Liddy is just fucked up in a really, deeply weird way.

My sister went to George Washington University in downtown DC. The university owns the Howard Johnson across the street from the Watergate, which they made into a dorm (the Hall on Virginia Avene, HoVA). Aapparently, the way some universities will have a special international living or honors dorm where there's some kind of program the people who live there do, HoVA has a Watergate residential study program. My sister lived there her freshman year, which also happened to be either the year that dorm opened or the first year of the Watergate program, so they had all kinds of people involved in the Watergate shenanigans come to the dorm to talk with the Watergate kids. One weekend I went to visit her and there was this huge, creepy guy who reminded me a bit of Jesse Ventura hanging around the building all the time. He only ever talked to this passel of kids who followed him around, and he would just glare at anyone else who tried to talk to him. When I asked if she know what was going on with that guy, yep, it was G. Gordon Liddy. Who had come to visit the Watergate program and was apparently kind of butthurt that no one outside of the building recognized him on sight or really cared that he was there. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Don't forget the Limbaugh comparison between Sotomayor and David Duke. Fucking old, white, rich men deciding that the Supreme Court has to look just like them. Get the fuck over it. There are other people out there, you dickwad cuntweasels. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And... Sandra Day O'Connor didn't menstruate? I'd always known that Liddy was a bit of a doucherocket, but I think he has some very strange ideas about just how special white women are compare to Latinas. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You know, when women menstruate, that's when they have the least amount of oestrogen in their body, so it's when they're actually thinking/behaving the most like men, if you go off hormones. So I don't know what Liddy's bitching about. He should be happy when she menstruates! It means she'll be thinking like a MAN. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The biology fail that is epic in Liddy goes beyond what's already been said. Sonia Sotomayor is 54. Sandra Day O'Connor was 51 when named to the bench. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was 60. Odds are each one is/was post-menopausal, especially since Sotomayor has no children. (Reply to this)(Thread)

You know, I recently wrote a final paper about society's skewed view and misunderstanding of menstruation at pretty much every stage of life. I could have cited the fuck out of this and been guaranteed an "A". Suffice to say, my TL;DR thoughts can be boiled down to AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH RAAAAAAAGE (and I'm not even PMS'ing!). And you know, I heard similar cracks about Hillary Clinton, as though those benevolent gentlemen in the White House would have to lock her out of the Oval Office once a month lest she nuke Argentina because it looked at her funny once. I'd like to think the choking sounds I made just now are a touch more sophisticated than the ones I made then. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I read this on Mojo. Between Liddy worrying about her hormones and the other zombies insisting a woman of Hispanic heritage could not have possibly achieved what she has without a free pass via affirmative action and liberal coddling I have had my RDA of racism and sexism. I'm waiting for one of those reverse geniuses to announce Sotomayor must be gay. I hate people. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Why, thank you, Mr. Liddy, for mansplaining my body and psyche to me. I suppose that makes ME unable to handle a Special Education classroom of teenagers with any amount of sense and respect. I'd better start calling around and seeing if the Hotels are hiring. */sarcasm* *seethes* And what really scares and disgusts me is, this is the same bullshit I was hearing from other girls in my Senior Year Civics class.
