We are told on a hourly basis how Republicans, Conservatives and those to the right of Barney the purple dinosaur are vile, creeping critters who want children and the poor to remain uninsured and have a burning urge to run over immigrant children and shove Grandmama and her wheelchair off of the cliff. Our fellow citizens of the Democrat, liberal, socialist, fascist and progressive bent are our moral and intellectual superiors. They would guarantee $15.00 per hour to everyone in the United States of America, free healthcare and college education for all who make it out of the womb alive, and they would even provide Grandmere with the drugs to off herself when she becomes a burden on the family. Heckfire, they sure are compassionate. Goll durn, they really are better than we are.
Then I saw this on a liberal friend’s Facebook wall yesterday:
All are free to have their opinions and I am one Constitution-loving gal. I scroll past the ugly stuff that might miff me mostly because I am so confident in my own beliefs that I don’t give a fat rat’s backside what anyone else thinks.
So, when I saw this article from The Daily Caller about a couple of male columnists making fun of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I was gonna blow if off. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, if you haven’t been paying attention, is the White House Communications Director for the Trump Administration.
From The Daily Caller article:
Los Angeles Times columnist David Horsey mocked Sanders’ appearance, saying she “looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games.”
and
“Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes,” Horsey wrote on Wednesday. “Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders.”
It must be because Mr. Horsey lives in Los Angeles “where real women come equipped wit’ scripts and fake breasts”, to quote Kid Rock, that he finds Mrs. Sanders less than beautiful. I think she is beautiful. Mayhap the rest of us women on the right should wear bags over our heads. Mr. Horsey has apologized for the offending material, but, dude, we know what you think of us. You have invalidated any argument you may have.
The Daily Caller also mentioned Frank Bruni, an Op-Ed columnist for the “failing ‘New York Times'”. Here is part of what Mr. Bruni said about Sanders:
“To listen to her pronounce ‘priorities’ is akin to hearing the air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half of the consonants on the curb,” Bruni added parenthetically, mocking Sanders for her Southern accent.
Oh, but there is more. I read his “failing ‘New York Times'” article. Sheesh, what a writer. They must have a “liberal writer’s workshop” where they learn to be this snooty booty. He made fun of her faith, too, bless his heart. This is a real humdinger:
She’s a bogus message to Middle America that Trump’s White House is really a homespun, family-values kind of place. Hence her repeated references to being a working mom and managing a boisterous brood at home. Hence her invocation of religion — she’s the daughter of a rather well-known pastor — when asked during one briefing how she’d explain Trump’s worst behavior to her own children.
“When it comes to role models, as a person of faith, I think we all have one perfect role model,” she answered, characteristically using a non sequitur as an evasion. “I point to God. I point to my faith. And that’s where I would tell my kids to look.”
Now, Mr. Bruni may be the most ideologically pure sentient being in the Universe. I don’t know and I don’t care. I like the way Sarah Huckabee Sanders speaks and I love what she says.
Once again, Mr. Horsey and Mr. Bruni don’t get it. They are why Donald Trump was elected President of the United States of America for the next four and, maybe, eight years. Their intellectual snobbery and condescending attitude towards those who live in “Red” America has angered the American people for decades. The American people have been trying to send a message for decades but it must have been too subtle or nuanced for you to get. Or, maybe you couldn’t understand our Southern Accent, our Yooper accent or our Okie dialect. Sad.
Mr. Bruni, I read that you went to University in North Carolina. Maybe you have forgotten how to speak Southern, bless your heart. Now, the Southern Women Channel is not political, but I don’t think they would mind me sharing this video to help remind you all about Southern Women.
We Southern Women know that we are less than you, in your opinion, and we don’t give a heydoodle. Now, I have to go make some pinto beans and cornbread for the University of Tennessee Homecoming football game tomorrow. Bye, y’all.
Perhaps Ms Sanders is not a “traditional” beauty in some pompous writers mind. I think she is a very attractive young lady. Here in flyover country, beauty or attractiveness has a range, and a large range to many people, like me, for instance. As to this young lady, the most attractive thing about Sarah Huckabee Sanders is between her ears!
Thing is, though, the Munsters and the Addams Family were kind, genuinely well-meaning people. So I don’t see the superficial comparisons as degrading.
If either Horsey or Bruni had done fell out of a deer stand on their heads then I would try to make some excuse for them, but bless their hearts, I’d bet they ain’t never had a backstrap with black eyed peas. Poor things.
Great post, VG’s. Sarah is proof that a lady doesn’t have to be a waif to be hot and sexy.
I think Sarah looks great – and of course there is her quick wit and intelligence that sweeten the package. And don’t get me started on that charming southern accent.
In my experience it is usually women who are the harshest and most open critics of other womens’ physiques.
I know a woman who works out at a “women only” gym.
She says that she does so because “men make me feel uncomfortable” over her extra pounds. She admits no man has ever said or signalled anything to her about it but insists: “I know what they’re thinking.”
I have trained amongst men for many years in serious gyms and know that the only people actually standing around judging the bigger girls are the skinny barbies. It is these catty, skinny girls that need to be banned by these gyms – not the men.
