Why Women Shouldn’t Vote
The problem is that politicians tend to be alpha males and women’s minds are frequently clouded by irrelevant emotions. I don’t want crucial political decisions being made on the basis of silly females fantasizing over the wrong “stimulus package.” Politically Incorrect, you say? Try to get through this column in the NYT by Judith Warner:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I needed to get into the bathroom to shave my legs…
…Michelle saying the most beautiful things about Barack. Each time I heard her speak about him I got tears in my eyes…
Many women — not too surprisingly — were dreaming about sex with the president…
…the case of a 62-year-old woman in North Florida, whose dream…
There was some daydreaming too, much of it a collective fantasy about the still-hot Obama marriage. “Barack and Michelle Obama look like they have sex. They look like they like having sex,” a Los Angeles woman wrote…
…one woman in Wisconsin had frequent daydreams about having the Obamas over for a glass of wine…
Good grief; women. I’ll admit I found Sarah Palin easier on the eyes than Hillary Clinton; but I am not dreaming of sleeping with any politician. ◄Dave►
I think our male politicians should start wearing burkas. This would solve several problems:
Women lusting after the president.
It would prevent us from having to watch all the jowls flapping in congress.
The old republican guys who can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.
Do you ever wonder why I left the old forum? You’re still an ass! But at least you have a following that appreciates it now.
I’m not quite sure how to take that.
“The best mirror is an old friend.” – Herbert, George
Don’t forget, Chris Matthews felt a tingling in his legs over Obama. Perhaps males should not be allowed to vote either.
That is a good one; sort of a corollary to the more familiar, “Show me your friends and I will show you your future.” I liked the burkha idea too.
Ha! Perhaps I have been being too mundane for the ladies. Who would have guessed that I needed to be more provocative to attract some comments from the silent majority? I do hope they noticed that I categorized the post under humor.
Mary is actually rather rational, and if Nancy is who I suspect she is, she is too. I can’t imagine either of them fantasizing over the Obamesiah. Both were probably as disturbed by the NYT column as I was, and perhaps even embarrassed for their gender. Nancy made the better rejoinder, of course, and were I as defensive of my gender as modern women seem to be of theirs, Matthews would be a serious embarrassment to me. Fortunately, men don’t think in such terms; but perhaps that is because we don’t feel oppressed.
Mary has always had a complaint with my use of sweeping generalizations. Thus, my title for this post would have had her in battle mode before she ever read it. When she did, the fact that I didn’t use qualifiers such as “some” or even “most” women, would have offended her; because she is the exception that proves the rule.
Now, ladies, thanks for your replies and don’t make me be such a jerk to elicit your comments in the future. Best to Scruffy, Mary; and best to Jim, Nancy.

At least one sane female sees it my way:
Then again, she didn’t suggest that women not vote, did she?
