Proof that Karl Rove also hates pregnant women.
This just gets better and better. By now we all know that Arkansas US Attorney Bud Cummins was fired, over the objections of Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor, in order to make way for Rove protege Tim Griffin. Here is where it gets tricky. When asked why Griffin was given the nod over the current deputy USA, Jane Duke, DOJ spokesman Brian Roehrkasse responded that Griffin was selected instead of Duke because Duke was pregnant. Call me a nutty conspiracy theorist, but this is a clear violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act which states that employers (including the federal government) may not discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or other medical conditions. Hell, it appears to me that we just need to throw all of these fuckers in jail and start fresh!

5. And the Repukes think TURDBLOSSOM is worthy of being called a genius???
I can only hope that some of the DOD contract money scammed by Cunningham and his cronies can be traced back to Turdblossom - now that would be some tasty icing on the cake.

6. But, Mrs. Duke may bake us some cookies, if she likes.
It is "Mrs. Duke," isn't it?

7. I would love to see this become a national issue.
Women face horrible career discrimination when they're pregnant. This would be a great opportunity to make an issue of it in a very high profile way.

I doubt it will happen. I think the MSM will ignore this entirely. But if they surprise me I'll be making sure lots of people around me hear all about it.

8. On another note, no one could ever accuse Rove of being a womanizer.
A manizer, maybe.

10. No big surprise
Turdblossom is a woman-hater. There are many marriages of convenience for the sake of cover. (Perhaps Haggard's?)
And have you SEEN Turdblossom's wife? Could be a man, if you ask me.
:crazy: :eyes:

12. This could be a big deal if it were true - millions of career women would be pretty steamed at this

fun fact both Rethug and Dem. And it's illegal as well. Two-fer.
