Playing the Gender
Card
THINKING. Conventional Wisdom should be renamed. Conventional Wishdom would be better. Some of us actually watched the Democratic debate last week. We were encouraged to do so by the reportage that a couple of Democrat presidential candidates were actually standing up to Hillary. Wow. No good can come of that, we thought. But it might be fun to watch.
In the event, it was as pitiful as we might have expected. Like the eunuchs of the MSM, we tuned in hoping against hope that some progressive male might actually stand up to the Medusa and tell her that being the wife of a hick governor and a corrupt president doesn't automatically qualify you to rule the world. We should have known better. Obama's balls repose in a drawer of Michelle's vanity. Edwards's balls have been missing so long the Discovery Channel is producing documentaries about them designed to run in tandem with their latest futile search for the body of Jimmy Hoffa.
Of course, Obama and Edwards tried to secrete some testosterone in their encounter with Hillary, but she just raised her voice and they shrank like high school boys in a cold shower. Incomprehensibly, Obama couldn't even answer the one question he had attacked Hillary for not answering. He didn't know what he'd do about drivers licenses for illegal aliens either. That's when all the progressive metrosexuals in the audience reached instinctively for their crotches, hoping their own jewels weren't sitting in the same jar with Obama's on Hillary's nightstand.
Well. The conventional wisdom had it that Hillary now "pwned" the little black boy from Illinois. What the CW of the MSM never took into account was that Obama has just figured out a new way to play The Card. The Gender Card. According to today's Drudge, Obama is now beating Hillary in Iowa:
Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) draws support
from 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared
with 26 percent for Clinton and 22 percent for former senator John
Edwards (N.C.).
Progressive men know the score. They know that women always win every argument. They know that men are hopelessly stupid, inept, inarticulate, and cowardly in every possible confrontation. And for that very reason, they're rallying like crazy behind the candidacy of the guy they can identify with as if he were their own brother. The guy who's so much like them his own wife can't stop ridiculing him long enough to make his biggest dream come true. The guy who's so much like them that with his whole future on the line, he still can't stand up to a woman even when she's sitting on the checkmate square and all he has to do is say the word.
I call it dirty politics. No man can be as castrated as Obama seems. What he's obviously doing is pretending to be the same kind of gutless emasculated schlub as 90 percent of technically male Democrats. Sure they have issues. We're all sorry for them. Sorry as can be. But that doesn't excuse this kind of cold-blooded pandering to the most pathetic demographic of the nation's most obnoxiously female party. It's just a disgusting ploy for male votes.
What the Republicans need to undo this sinister stratagem is akin to Watergate. They need to raid Hillary HQ and steal their most secret evidence of Obama scandal -- the videotape. It will blow the lid off this campaign. Obama nailing Michelle in their own bedroom, with her shuddering and screaming and weeping in orgasmic joy. That's Novak's scoop. If you're a Democrat, it's the end of the road. Especially the part at the end where Michelle meekly totters off to make her man a huge and well-earned Dagwood sandwich.
Why can't we have honest politics instead? You know the kind. A glorious mud wrestling match between Hllary and Michelle Obama. While Bill and Barack go off to pick up girls at elite colleges.
But it's way past time for the Democratic Party to forbid playing the Gender Card. It's pure exploitation to remind liberal men that they have no masculinity. It's cheap, easy, and shallow.
Oh. Never mind.
