I don't think Perdue has as much power that Bachman, but I don't think either really has any power. Bachman's polling at the bottom of the field. They are both moronic.

I don't know about bottom, but if you leave out Huntsman, Santorum, Cain and sometimes Paul, Palin, and Gingrich, I guess so. But I agree that Bachmann isn't all that powerful.

I know nothing else about Perdue other than that quote.

I have to leave when people say stuff like that. I have terrible difficulty looking them in the eye during those exchanges. I feel like they can look behind my eyes and see the chimpanzee rolling around the floor, grasping at his diaphragm.

I was disengaged from the conservation for a very long time, on that topic and others. Instead I was trying not to stare too much at the hottest member of the group who was sitting next to her.

I went home with a third member of the party.

Conservative hotties also tend to come, disproportionately, from the South and Midwest. Not to generalize (which is exactly what I'm doing in this entire post, but nevermind that), but chicks from that part of the world tend to put a huge premium on appearances. And finally, you have the media stereotyping. I know loads of smoking hot liberal chicks, but you aren't going to see too many on TV. Why? The Hannity and Colmes Phenomenon: Media thinks the audience expects the liberal to be a bookish sort, and the conservative to be the brash, confident one.*

*They put on the "Hot Librarian" types in the "liberal" slot every now and again, but those are outliers. They're usually looking for Rachel Maddow clones.

Yeh, well, if you want to objectify women, there ain't none better than dear Kirsten:



Besides being hot, she can gut those gun-toting conservative hotties with a glance, breastfeed three babies at once, and solve physics problems in her head while reading James Joyce. There is no point in going with the fox plastic dolls when there's a real woman like her around.

Officer Bologna likes to mace people.

He should be arrested for battery. What he's doing is criminal.

True story: Once had a client whose last name was Balloni. You know how we responded to all allegations regarding his conduct.

It actually resulted in confusion in discussions with the government lawyer more than once. Granted, he wasn't the brightest bulb in the tree of justice, but he still got confused as to whether we meant to identify a person or dismiss an accusation.
