Way harsh and uncalled for. What did I ever do to you? Don't envy my ranking. I've worked hard for it. If you apply yourself, you can do it, too. By the way, save yourself the aggravation and don't wander over to my blog anymore. It's only going to get worse, I promise you. I'm starting to care less and less what people of any political stripe think of me, male or female.

Geez, Louise. LB answers back, and does nothing in the process to make herself look more intelligent.

Well, as to the barefoot/pregnant/kitchen thing, I think I've made my preferences known.

Barefoot: why?

;-)

Don't get me wrong, I am all for saying what's on your mind ... and I also acknowledge that there are differences between the sexes ... but to say that no woman has the sensibilities to be President?

/TJ

Damn, Jody, you seem to have really upset her...I do believe she's referring to you in her update.

I don’t think women generally have the sensibilities to run the country.

HEH. Looks like a textbook case of projection.

First and foremost, I want to say this. I wouldn't vote for Condi either, but not because she is a woman. Sadly, while there are some very qualified women in this country, I just don't see America electing a woman as President. More to the point, I would have to agree with Lashawn on Condi's politics (as far as her being pro-choice and possbily being "pro-race benefits". Another sad point (and keep in mind that I am a "right wing nut job"), America hasn't had a REALLY strong White House since 1988, but I see the current administration as being on the right track to turn that around. What I find absolutely HILARIOUS is that in 2000 when Bush won the electoral college vote w/o the popular vote (which is NOT the first time that has happened-e-mail me if you want the others), but in 2004 when he DID win the popular vote, the "left" was STILL screaming, and accusing him of "stealing" the election! Neither side is blameless here, but COME ON!

Tammy, Thanks for the heads up but based on the comment, email and deleted trackback from LB, I think she made it clear who she was referring to in her "update"... honestly if I had known it would've bothered her this much, I don't think I would've bothered. Except her view of women with no sensibility to run the country bothered me that badly! LOL :)

Well, let's all have a "banned by the Bitch" party!!!

I left the following comment on her post:

"I made it 45+ years without remembering--or ever hearing--"ol' LB's advice". I think I'll do just fine on my own.

And perhaps some humility will go a long way toward addressing whatever persecution it is you fancy yourself to be the target of."

Well, less than a minute after posting it, she deleted the entire text of the comment, leaving a blank comment post with my name. So I followed up with:

"Thanks for deleting the entire text of my comment."

Now I'm banned--can't get to her site.

What a control freak. What delusions of grandeur. She needs her meds upped.

But that aside, I'll bring my famous chocolate-chocolate chip cookies to the party. Who's got the drinks?

Pass the popcorn, I love a good catfight.

Jody - when you get under someone's skin, you know you've effectively gotten your point across. It is apparent that she *does* care what others think if she's deleting trackbacks and erasing comments that may not put her in what is perceived to be the best light. Keep speaking your mind - it's real!

SmokeEater-
I'm not sure if I'll vote for Condi either if we get the chance. She is a very impressive person and I admire her and her accomplishments greatly but I don't know enough about her to say she'll receive my vote right now (granted that's how I feel about most of the potential candidates) but I don't want to discount a candidate pool of half the population just because they're women. That's backward and wrong. I'd rather have the most qualified and the candidate that best represents my ideology, regardless of race, religion or sex.

Eric -- down boy ;)

Merri and everyone else, thanks for the great comments!

I too am Of The Banned over at La Shawn Barber's Corner. (Sounds like such a warm, fuzzy place, doesn't it?) She banned me after I took issue with her enthusiastic support for torture at Abu Ghraib.

Part of her says things just to get a rise out of people. But I often think, when reading her stuff, if this is what she's willing to say publicly, imagine what she's thinking!

Yeah. Tell me, who is this "LB"....never heard of her.

Question: If women don't have the sensibilities to run the country how can they possibly have the sensibilities to criticize those who do?

There are those of us who will not vote for a woman for President. I know, I am one. (Especially if her name is Hillary).

However the really frustrating thing about Rice is she is not the best qualified candidate. Period end of statement. She is not even the best qualifed person to be Sec State. She simply got rewarded the way Bush rewards all of his sycophants.

Nuff said. Now go vacuum the house and cook dinner!

Wonder how LB walks around with her panties in such a bunch all the time?

Looks like LB lost even the pretense at humility.

Not a pretty sight. And you know what they say about too much pride and all.

LB, how arrogant can you be? First, no one is jealous of your ranking. The fact that you would even bring that up, plus your mention of how you worked so hard for it, shows where your priorities are. We don't need to visit your website for your daily dose of wisdom. We've all done very well without you, and we'll continue to do well when you are gone and forgotten.

In short, stuff a sock in your word-hole.

Rock on, Jody!

i don't think Condi will run in 08. She's been pretty clear that she doesn't want to. i'd vote for her, though. So unfortunately, unless the Republicans can nominate someone good (which is in doubt right now) we may get Hillary, and then a lot more people will agree with LB.

There are some inexplicable mysteries in life. Things that someday we may come to understand and until then puzzle over.

LB's blog ranking is one of those deeper mysteries.

LB is becoming more and more sensitive. I haven't read her blog in months. She does seem to be secretly wishing there was a conspiracy for her to get upset about.
She probably can't handle the pressure of success, can't be as perfect as she'd like, and I have a feeling she gets a rush from anger.

I think she just sits around all day, looking in the mirror, saying "Ha!!! I was on MSNBC, and you haven't been!!!"

I left the following comment on La Shawn's blog, which she immediately deleted, and then she banned me:

" '...it’s important that you know I don’t care what you think. You’re reading this blog, so you obviously care what I think...'

"I'm not reading it anymore. You really need to check the ego, La Shawn."

Is that so awful? I seriously think this gal is a bit off her rocker.
