WHUT?!
"You want to talk about a contrast in American women," [Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Idiculous] said during the last presidential race. "Take a look at Nancy Pelosi, the third most powerful woman" in the United States. The speaker and [Sarah Palin, R-Etrofuck], she suggested, were so radically different as to be incomparable.No, really: WHUT?!
In reality, though, the three belong to what may be the smallest, most exclusive clique in American politics. The admission requirements are beyond most women, and all men: members must be prominent players in the United States political arena and must have given birth to not one, not two, not three, not even four — but five children, something that presumably gives them more in common than they might like to admit.
DID U JUST MAKE ME AGREE WITH MICHELE BACHMANN? WHUUUUUUUUUT?!
Whatever forces may be at play, taking a look at present dynamics, any American woman with long-range political ambitions might do well to also look to her nursery.WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! The plot, New York Times, you have lost it.
Unless, of course, the plot is BACKLASH 101. In which case, well played. And also: I HATE U.
Love,
