What happens in Vegas apparently doesnt always stay in Vegas.
Fox News guest David Martosko said the Democratic National Committee is controlled by an estrogen cabal of women and they want to clear the path for candidate Hillary Clinton at all costs, just because shes a woman, Jezebel reports. He got the information at a Las Vegas casino bar from an unnamed source.
The Daily Mail political editor told Your World host Neil Cavuto the source was a female member of the DNC from a very blue state who approached him at the bar while he was in Vegas covering the Democratic primary debate.
The crazy things you hear in casino bars in Las Vegas, Martosko said. Her story was, very simply, that the women at the top of the DNC are kind of an estrogen cabal, if you will have made it their mission from early on to clear the path for Hillary Clinton and make sure none of her male challengers had a reasonable chance of knocking her off her perch.

On that note, #EstrogenCabal might make a good hashtag...

But hey, some liberal ladies are in positions of power, so it must be a conspiracy, not simply politics playing themselves out. Next time, just call them a coven, its cooler, seasonal (!), and more clearly relays what youre really trying to say.
Also, this is a post about an article, about another article, about a TV interview, about a column, about a rumor from an anonymous source.
Kevin Bacon is in there somewhere.

(5,204 posts)But it's definitely a cabal. "Estrogen cabal" is in poor taste, though.

It's their tactics and the candidate they're pushing I'm not happy about.

(27,310 posts)In the context of your OP, it is not a positive.
Is it meant to support Hillary or denigrate her?
IDemo
(16,926 posts)whether to create hashtags or political commentary, I'm afraid I can't help you.
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)would understand that nuance.
Step by step.
FYI, I am friends with the folks that started twitter. I am a very good friend with the woman who created the logo and none of us can figure out how any human being reading that hashtag would conclude !SARCASM!

sarcasm is surprisingly easy to identify when the sarcastic person puts effort to it.

(25,699 posts)But I took it as him suggesting to use it as parody of what the dipsticks at fox are saying. I'm fucking terrible at coming up with memes and satire and such, so I can't spout off an example at the moment. But that's what I figured IDemo was getting at.
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)the avatar) and I post a positive Bernie tweet but include the hashtag "estrogen cabal
There is no way in hell that is not going to have negative connotations.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)IDemo didn't. if the point is to mock Fox, what the fuck does Sanders have to do with it at all? I just brought up #berniesoblack as an example of blisteringly obvious sarcasm.
