Pickles to America's women: "Get UP OFF THE COUCH"

[grasswire]

Gee. Now Pickles is being presented as a health guru for America's women. She's on CNN telling women what to do to be healthier. Her advice?

"GET UP OFF THE COUCH!"

I guess she never had the experience of mothering children and making a home while also WORKING TWO JOBS in order to provide food and shelter.

Classism. Feh.

1. sounds like a scientology slogan

[Cocoa]

2. I've been seeing a lot of Pickles recently

public service announcements for this and that.

When I saw Judy Steinberg talking with Diane Sawyer, I suddenly had a longing for a normal person for a change in the East Wing. This Bush administration is getting really old in so many ways.

5. First Time She's Absolutely Right

Now people I want everyone of you to get up off that couch or what ever your sitting on and start calling everyone you know and tell them who you are supporting and why.
Go to a meet up, do ebanks, anything and everything helps. If everyone on the underground alone made calls or did something makes a difference. Let our voices be heard.
"LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH & LET IT START WITH ME"

3. Pickles ain't the only one

Have you ever read some of the comments here on DU about fat people? We're all just a bunch of morally indolent adult children who sit on the couch all day and "inhale" Twinkies.

Couch, Twinkies, inhale. Couch, Twinkies, inhale. For all the talk of "memes", this one seems to have escaped the notice of the Scientifickal Moralists.

4. Pickles just wants you to

"get up off the couch" so she can rip the material off of it to make her next outfit. :-)

6. Good one Bronc

7. that's the funniest damn thing i've read today n/t

[camero]

8. She can have mine, it's burlap.

14. LOL

thanks

[BiggJawn]

17. Snarf! Beat me to the punch!

Oh, yeah! Pickles never met a Herculon pattern she didn't like!

[central scrutinizer]

9. if she had walked to the mall

instead of driving, there might be one less dead boyfriend.

10. How quaint

The first lady talking to women about health. Sweet.

Will she talk to women about housewifery as well?

[NormanConquest]

11. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that couch!" nt

[kskiska]

12. She pointedly didn't mention quitting smoking

which she does, in between soaking in the tub and getting facials.

[Ripley]

16. I noticed that in the "Parade" article about this.

In that article she talked about eating healthier because heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. And I thought to myself, cigarette smoking contributes to heart disease...shouldn't she mention that? Then I remembered she smokes.

Hypocrits, every last one of them.

[Mari333]

13. I saw that whack job say that and my husband and I started laughing

trot out the Prozac loaded wifey just like Ken Lay did when your ass is in the grinder. Rove must be desperate. Those fake terror threats arent working anymore....

[Devlzown]

15. She's a real paragon of fitness.

Holding chimpy's hand while he gets on the plane, lighting Christmas trees, sitting around reading stories to school kids, standing around with a glazed look on her face in ugly cocktail dresses. Let her clean some toilets, do a few hundred loads of laundry, stay up all night with a baby, cook and clean the kitchen, and work her shift at Wal-Mart. Then we'll see if she has some advice for America's moms.

20. must be about time to send out Bar and Poppy

Things are getting rough for "our boy."

[Mari333]

23. amen

amen

[Oilwellian]

18. Hey! I get up off of the couch quite often!

To turn off the mind-numbing, zombie inducing television! :D

[Cleita]

19. She also said heart problems were caused by obesity.

Does she not know that mostly poor and underclass women suffer from obesity because of poor dietary choices that are often the only ones available to them. They also can't afford the diet doctors and personal exercise trainers, or the country club memberships to have tennis courts, golf courses and other exercise options in fresh air available to them.

Please don't tell me that there are public options available because the need for these facilities certainly exceed the availability and also a woman working 2 to 3 jobs and then running home to look after her children certainly are not going to have the time.

Instead of putting Paris Hilton down on the farm. Someone should stick this woman in the middle of a trailer park and see how she makes out. She could also stand to unpork about twenty pounds before she starts lecturing others.

21. She wants the couch upholstry that's why she said that.

covets it for a balloon gown embellished with glittery pea green spangles and a chartreuse tummy bow.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

22. Oh, I thought I was supposed to sit around all day and

eat giant wheels of cheese. Good thing she's around to inform us!

I miss the days when Hilary Clinton went to international conferences on women's rights and other useful, intelligent things like that. Laura seems nice enough, but it's so phony when when she pretends to care about women's rights or reading or anything, when she really hasn't done anything for those causes except work as a librarian for like, two years of her life.

[Mari333]

24. REMEMBER she had to close her eyes and pretend once

that she was having sex with someone besides a drunken chimpanzee.
That had to be the worst job in the world.

25. Poor Pickles

it's so hard for her to get up off the couch that she thought she had to give US help doing it too. What she doesn't realize is that not everyone in America is quite as ... ahem ... "tranquil" as she is. Then again, if I had to wake up and look at * lying next to me (probably going "zoom zoom zoom" in his sleep), I'd be gulping Klonopin like candy, too.

[eissa]

26. But, but, but

the couch is the place where I sit and stare adoringly at my husband, the head of our household, and teach my children the benefits of American imperialism, just like a good Christian wife/mother should.
