Quote of the Day

"Women are psychos."—Professional wankstain Glenn Beck, on his radio show earlier today.

What makes this quote particularly amusing is the context in which he made it, which was a discussion of how newly-elected Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown used the occasion of his acceptance speech to announce that both of his daughters are "available." And the commentary is that there's something wrong with women. Okay.

You know, if women are "psychos" (nice disablism there, buddy), maybe there's a reason for it. Like the fact that it's still considered acceptable for their fathers to treat them like chattel on a national stage. Just sayin'.

Last night, after the victory speech, [Brown's] family is up next to him, and his daughters were there. Now, I have three daughters, so I have a little bit of experience of saying and doing the wrong thing, with my— Every dad has done stupid things that, you get home, and your wife says [puts on cartoonish nagging female voice and babbles incoherently]. 'Cause guys just—I mean, you cannot figure women out. You can't, you don't know the psychosis that is chickdom. Psychosis! Guys, you can figure out. Food, sex—that's it. Feed me, make love to me, let me sleep. That's pretty much it. We're simple.

Women are psychos. I can't— There are times that I just walk into, uh, you know, um, you know what? I feel like, you know in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and he's running out and he's got the, um, you know, he's got the statue— "Throw me the statue!" "Throw me the whip!" And he throws the statue and the guy doesn't throw the whip…? And then he goes underneath the door and he sees the other guy impaled, you know what I mean? And he's like, "Oh, yeah. He shoulda thrown me the whip." Um, that's the way I think dads feel once in awhile if you have daughters—that you'll just all of a sudden step into it and just like whoosh! And you're impaled on the side of the cave. Am I right?

So, as a guy who has experienced that before, I understand. But I don't understand the thinking of Scott Brown last night, with his two daughters, and national TV audience, when he says this:

[audio of Brown speaking] Just in case anybody who's watching throughout the country, yes, they're both available.

Speaking of his daughters here.
