She said she wouldn't have traded being a full-time mom for anything, but there is truth in that she had to postpone her career. And look what she was able to accomplish, even with a late start!<br /><br />I think the misogynists got theirs this election period. At least some of them. Hopefully, the rest will think twice before they try to silence or diminish women again.Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-17780895786583616282012-11-15T15:36:25.064-05:002012-11-15T15:36:25.064-05:00What I especially liked in Pelosi's reply was ...What I especially liked in Pelosi's reply was that she said he should remember that he had to give her an extra 14 years because, for that duration of her life, she had taken time away from work/career to have and raise children (implying rightly that her male colleagues did not do that). That would make her, in career terms, 58. Some days, the misogynists disgust me more than others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-43093801621081840212012-11-15T12:28:04.602-05:002012-11-15T12:28:04.602-05:00Ha, Beth.

It's embarrassing, and NBC ought to forget about whose kid he is and look at his work. It's a mess, and this latest gaffe should be the nail in his journalistic coffin. <br /><br />Glad to see that Rachel Maddow wasn't afraid to show the video last night. I haven't seen anybody else talking about it on NBC or MSNBC. Haven't checked CNN yet.<br /><br />The whole thing is pretty appalling but Luke is having fun with it on Twitter. He still sees nothing wrong so I'm guessing he wasn't called into anybody's office over it.Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-61555406590486416002012-11-15T11:48:02.962-05:002012-11-15T11:48:02.962-05:00Well said. I was just appalled when I saw this yes...Well said. I was just appalled when I saw this yesterday. He owes her an apology. <br /><br />I tried having a political discussion with one of my young right wing cousins. He was asking me questions, I was responding calmly and reasonably. I mentioned Hillary running in 2016. His comment? "Hillary won't win because she looks like an old witch." He was sweet enough to add a smiley face after that. <br /><br />Conversation over. I said that as a woman, I find that remark offensive, and I will no longer discuss politics with him as long as he feels the need to make such inane remarks. Of course, he also wondered why liberals seem to want Palin to run so much, because she is obviously a conservative. So I'm thinking he might not be the sharpest tool in the shed in that regard. <br /><br />These youngsters are pretty clueless sometimes, aren't they?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.com
