OMG stop the presses, Bachmann shoe gate!
« on: August 25, 2011, 10:08:12 AM »
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/michele-bachmanns-style-shoes_n_935928.html#s339019&title=Bachmanns_Backless_Sandals

Put simply, Bachmann's choice of footwear repeatedly violates the most basic rules of fashion and upends her personal style, which has been marked by dressy separates, form-fitting shapes and demure necklines. But from the ankle down, Bachmann likes to show a little skin -- many of her shoes are either sandals (often worn with pantyhose -- argh) or peep toed orthopedic-looking stacked heels. Neither option does her any justice, and both are decidedly dated. The day of the chunky, strappy sandal has passed, especially worn with stockings.

They're right.  If she were really a populist she'd be campaigning in flip-flops. =D

That utterly tears it --- I will not support her and I will not vote for her.  Such rotten fashion sense should be shunned and punished.  Bamboo under the fingernails would be too kind.










Nuke her from orbit! --- it's the only way to be sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [tinfoil] [popcorn] [popcorn]

She wears shoes? Unpossible. Everyone knows conservative women aren't allowed to wear shoes.

Wearing heels is objectifying women.

Women working enslaves women to the corporate workplace.

Women not working enslaves them to the family.

Women wearing 'modest' clothes enslaves them to patriarchy.

Women wearing 'immodest' clothes objectifies them.

Every single role a woman can take in a society is some form of capitalist slavery. As such there's no actual freedom as the classical liberal historical consensus tells us - in fact all of it is forms of capitalist slavery.

As such, what moral argument do you ACTUALLY have to say that George Bush is morally superior to Pol Pot? Does not America enslave women?

Don't forget, men are enslaved by the capitalist system that steals the value of their labor.

And, according to our libertarian friends, requiring children to go to school enslaves them.

So, men, women, and children are all enslaved in America. Bush is better than Pol Pot though, he didn't KILL THEM.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

That's what I'm sayin'. Now if she'd lose the shoes and get back in the kitchen, she'd have my vote. Come to think of it, wouldn't we be better off if all the politicians were kept busy in the kitchen?

But Bush invaded Iraq and tolerated the murder of thousands of Americans through denied health care coverage!

You see, since there's no possibility that freedom exists anywhere, we should abandon 'freedom' as an outdated, capitalist moral category.

What are you talking about!? I'm perfectly serious.

Also, have you tried the kool-aid? I had some with my lunch and I've been feeling so much better about the state of the country.

Shoe gate?
How about corndog gate?

Edit: I heard that Bill Clinton says that he thinks Bachmann is well qualified to work in the Oval Office.

(yes, I'm probably going to hell)
