John Stewart | GOP Plays the Gender Card with Sarah Palin
This clip was sent to me by a friend . . . and, it was so good I had to watch it twice.
This clip is CLASSIC GOP! There is double-speak from Karl Rove, Bill “Pappa Bear” O’Reilly, and Dick Morris from the McCain Campaign.
Watch Karl Rove praise Sarah Palin for being the Mayor of the 2nd largest city in Alaska (population 9000) and then let’s go back a few weeks. On Video footage from only ONE MONTH PRIOR, Rove belittles potential Obama VP pick, Tim Kaine for being the Mayor of Richmond, VA, Lt. Governor of Virginia, and ultimately the Governor of Virginia–and states how the Mayor of a town of +$200,000 people is CLEARLY not fit to be a heartbeat away from the President.
Pappa Bear O’Reily tells us how teen pregnancy is problem faced by many Americans, and we should not be passing judgement. But, in a prior clip, that same benevolent and repectful pundit calls the parents of the youngest Spears “Pinheads” (even displaying their picture) because they obviously do not have any control over their children and Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant at 16 years old.
Dick Morris‘ words may be the most blatant of the double-speak. After abhorring the “sexism” in the media, we flash backward to December of 2007 where he says that Hillary cannot simply pack up her toys and go home when the “Big Boys” are picking on her. “What happens with the “Big Boys” who run the Middle East, and the “Big Boys” who run Russia start picking on her. She won’t be able to simply hide behind her apron strings.” APRON STRINGS!?!?!?
McCain’s Senior Policy Analyst, Nancy Pfotenhaur, says roughly the same things as Morris: We are not being sensitive to Palin, and yet she was cautioned Hillary Clinton–“it would be a terrible mistake for Hillary to play this “victim card.”
Lastly, the 6-minute clip finishes with some nice words from Sarah Palin herself. She is lecturing a female politician and saying simply this: your “whining” isn’t helping us women. If you are complaining that you are in politics and people are not treating you fairly, DO MORE. Work Harder.
Sounds great . . . on paper.
