How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
That's not funny, dammit!
Here's Dee Dee Myers, former press secretary for Bill Clinton (and one of my great secret crushes in politics) on Jon Favreau's shenanegans with a cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton:
That's not funny, dammit!
Shorter Dee Dee: "I was never young."
HUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
HUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
(spit spit, retch retch)
Geez, what a twit.
What's bugging me right now is that when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife and used a 21-year-old intern as his personal sperm receptacle in the Oval Office, Myers was considerably more circumspect about calling for accountability.
Update: The next issue of Vanity Fair has nude photos of Kate Winslet.
Jus' sayin, y'all.
Update II: Read this, too, though, from Dee Dee Myers back in 1998: "The President's relationship with Monica Lewinsky was so reckless as to seem pathological."No call for accountability in sight, though. Indeed, she takes the opportunity to criticize Ken Starr.
Splash, out

Here's Dee Dee Myers, former press secretary for Bill Clinton (and one of my great secret crushes in politics) on Jon Favreau's shenanegans with a cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton:
I can’t stop thinking about this picture, and I confess I find it really upsetting. And, no, it’s not because I don’t have a sense of humor. I like to think I have a well-earned reputation for often irreverent, sometimes ill-advised humor. But I’m not laughing now.
That's not funny, dammit!
And it’s not that I was never young. My friends from college and in the years just beyond can testify that I did some things then that I wouldn’t want to see on the Internet now. But I had a big job in the White House at a young age too; at 31—just a few years older than Favreau is now—I became White House press secretary.
Shorter Dee Dee: "I was never young."
If he’s old enough and wise enough and mature enough to write for the president of the United States—and not just any president but one who seems poised to take words more seriously than any since Abraham Lincoln—
HUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
HUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Geez, what a twit.
than he’s clearly old enough and wise enough and mature enough to avoid getting his picture taken behaving in a way that is embarrassing to him, his boss, the secretary of state–designate, his family, and, one hopes, a majority of 27-year-old males (though that may be too optimistic.) It’s indefensible. But that’s still not what’s bugging me.
