"on this earth, sexier, believe me Gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 06:51 PM by Bluerthanblue
in the morning"......
(Jack Nicholson- quote used in the new Hillary Ad)

And this comes from the Hillary Campaign- :shrug: ?

Is it only sexist when the words are not to your advantage?????



Sorry Hillary cry 'sexism' all you like- credibility and character come through in what you say, and what you DO- (or sanction)




peace~


(edited to correct Gentlemen- not 'general')

1. Remember the line that followed?
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 06:47 PM by jgraz
"Promote 'em all, I say, 'cause this is true: if you haven't gotten a blowjob from a superior officer, well, you're just letting the best in life pass you by."

Yeah, she's really helping the cause there. :eyes:

13. thanks for catching my mistake- Jgraz,
I like Jack- and I don't have a problem with his supporting Hillary- I think it is great actually, but to complain about sexism (some of which is legitimate) and then USE it- to 'get ahead' doesn't reflect very well on her character. :shrug:



peace~


( I was able to edit my OP thanks to your quick catch):hi:

19. Technically, that's a video by a Hillary supporter rather than
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 07:05 PM by hedgehog
a Hillary endorsed campaign commercial.

I always found the scene in which he berates the waitress rather unfeeling, myself. He's the one who walked into a chain restaurant, and it's her fault that what he wants isn't on the menu?

You see it's only sexist when an Obama supporter says it.

20. I'm flattered you call me a "kid" - being over 50 I don't mind
at all- :hi:

And I have more of a 'grip' than you'd expect, Rodeodance-

I don't begrudge Jack his opportunity to support Hillary at all. He's a great actor, and a real character.

Sexism is either ok- or it isn't- Using it to your advantage, and decrying those who do the opposite ruins your credibility.


peace~

18. Just watched -- this was a fan vid, not from the campaign
No "I'm Hillary and I approve this message" at the end.

21. Is this for real?
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 07:09 PM by Arkana
I have a hard time even believing this is real.

Seriously, is this real? How widespread is it?

EDIT: OK. Yeah, I had a hard time seeing this--inept as Hillary's campaign is, I can't imagine something like this getting vetted.
