This woman thinks SHE is being stalked? I swear, she could make Jesus put out a restraining order against her.
I want to stalk her across the face with a copy of the Constitution.
This is going to somewhat controversial but the whole use of "stalker" when it's clearly not the case?
See that big bad man. He keeps asking me questions! He won't stop!
There is this severely fucked up undercurrent of playing the helpless female, damsel in distress, that her comments definitely implicate. And it pisses me off when women are truly dealing with stalkers, abuse, rape, and other horrific crimes that are the result of the inherent sexism in society. She wants to be the bully without getting the push back.
Anyone notice that Palin and Bachmann have the same hand motions? Double finger pointing-- is there a school that teaches that?
On the idiotic stalker remark-- like way too many people on this website, I've been stalked. I had a gun held to my head while my ex opened his trunk and showed me the handcuffs, plastic garbage bags, and syringes full of tranquilizers. Without the distraction of a passing car, my ever present can of mace, and some pure luck, I have no doubts that I would be dead right now. And that that death would have been horrific.
Keith's got it right--terror is the only word to describe it. Michelle needs to get a clue or just stop talking altogether.
@curiousgeorgiana: I read that politicians are trained to speak with two hands as much as possible. One-handed gesturing looks dishonest apparently. I have no backup for either of these assertions.
@lisas: Interesting! I'd like to see a study on that. In general, the fewer motions the better for me, but I do like Obama's one handed finger jab. It works for him.
She is such a fucking stupid piece of shit. She's Congressional Speidi, and she's in good company (Sarah Palin, Jon Kyl....people who are either brilliant in their courting of controversy and their base, delusional assholes, or both).
I hope she and Jon Kyl and anyone else who obliviously and glibly brushes off real victims (I haven't forgotten Al Franken's amendment recently...good for him, and I hope the MSM is covering the bill and the "nays") of the system's shortcomings--be it women in the healthcare system, or stalking victims--is REAMED and punished.
She sort of reminds me of the leader of Heaven's Gate. You know, that guy with the crazy eyes who convinced all of those people to put on sweat suits and Nikes and eat poison pudding and then die on bunk beds.
@morninggloria: To be fair, thinking that Hale Bopp was masking the arrival of an intergalactic spaceship that was going to whisk you away is like .2 percent less crazy than some of these people.
Minus the mass suicide, there's little funny about that.
That is just about the sweetest thing ever. If I end up having kids, and one of them ends up being a TV personality, they had damned well better give me as sweet a tribute as Keith Olbermann did.
Oh, god, I'm watching this at work and trying not to cry. My mom has had breast cancer, it's in her lungs now but she's doing okay and it's not growing. Anytime someone dies from cancer related stuff I get really emotional. I want to give Keith Olbermann a hug.
I watched this at work today and almost lost it. I was actually wondering why he had been out last week because I missed him. My thoughts are with his family.
