Save Me, Mr. President

A recent article in Time magazine asked, with regard to the upcoming election, "What Do Women Want?". The article quoted a "senior Republic official" as saying: "Kerry is the weirdo first husband you married in college when you were an art major. Bush is the solid second husband who saved you, helped you raise your kids and taught you golf."

Because women need to be saved by men. Men who are former drunken, cocaine-abusing fratboys, who now think they are receiving messages directly from God and who confuse Sweden with Switzerland.

Yup.

(Sorry for preempting my usual bookselling rants. Don't worry. I'll be back next time with a post about Bill O'Reilly's excellent advice book for kids.)

Part of the problem with this is that the so-called "liberal media" didn't even raise an eyebrow at this assinine comment by a Bush official. It seems to me that a truly liberal media (and I'm enough of a knee-jerk liberal myself to wish that the media were truly on my side) would call these idiots on their sexist, racist and classist comments. Apparently, in addition to it now being seemingly okay to court conservatives by targeting gays and African Americans, we can now rest comfortably with the knowledge that women are once again mere appendages of their more powerful and wiser husbands. I feel so fucking comforted.
