Why Yes! I am a Bitch!

And you know what else? I am damn proud of it.

If you read this blog, you know that I am not prone to suffering fools gladly, and I really, really hate me some stupid. I have no qualms whatsoever about calling a moron a moron and a frothing fuckwit a frothing fuckwit. I mock, I scorn, I deride, I chide. I chastise, humiliate and skewer. I'm not prejudiced, I pretty much hate every damned body.

Any woman who aspires to any sort of responsibility or leadership role in her professional life needs to embrace that term and make it her own, because if it isn't get hurled at her openly, it will be sniped behind her back. That's just how it is.

And the Republicans are the chickenshit party that lacks the balls to say it to a woman's face.

Remember 1984? Babs "Republicunt" Bush called Geraldine Ferraro a "rhymes with rich" and then in 1995, the slimy scumbag Newt, via his white-trash mother called Hillary a "rhymes with witch" (but that was Connie Chung's fault...however, she's a bitch too...) And now, at a McCain rally we have a well-appointed looking older woman rising to asked Mad Jack Insane "How do we stop the Bitch?"

I detect a pattern of cowardice - these manly men of the wide stance and the public bathroom solicitation and the adultery - send women that look like someones Nana to hurl the epithet that would get them torn limb-from-limb if they uttered it themselves, so the yellow-bellied fuckers don't. They hide under grandma's petticoats instead.

Now - here is my question...Who do you want to send to negotiate with our adversaries? The sniveling wimps who can't face down a girl without their mommies help? Or the brassy bitch who scares them shitless?

Desperation aboard the Straight Jacket Express

John McCain has fired some of his campaign staff in an effort to reanimate his disastrous, doomed and disintegrating bid for the nomination.

His fate was sealed before he took that stroll in Baghdad – but that craven stunt pretty much severed the brakelines on the careening Straight Jacket Express.

Aides tried to paint the staff-cuts as a cost-savings measure, rather than a shake-up. There could be an element of truth in there somewhere – he only raised $12.5 million in the first quarter of the year.

"Presidential campaigns are dynamic organisations, and we are focused on ensuring that ours is as efficient and effective as possible," Mr McCain's spokesman, Tucker Bounds, told the Arizona Republic.

But whatever his aides say, there is little doubt Mr McCain is struggling. His decision to support President George Bush's policy in Iraq combined with a sense among some that he has lost the maverick status that attracted voters during the 1999 Republican primary, has left him with a real fight on his hands if he is to secure the party's nomination.

His position has not been helped by the emergence of Mr Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee and an actor best known for his work on the television crime series Law and Order.

McCain was long considered the front-runner for the nomination, but that lead has evaporated like the sense of security in the Shorja market. In a recent L.A. Times commissioned poll, former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani was in the lead at 29, Thompson was at 15, and McCain at 12. Only Mitt Romney, the first-quarter fundraising leader polled behind McCain.

And remember - Thompson isn't even in the race.
