First, H/T to Aaron Gardner. Aaron was kind enough to send me this column from NRO about Rep. Steve Cohen (the guy who compared Hillary Clinton to “Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction”–link is below).

Well, today, when questioning Chris Christie (the former US Attorney who is running for governor of NJ against John Corzine) Rep. Cohen said that Christie was “making them an offer they couldn’t refuse” (in regard to companies that were under investigation). If you are curious, Christie is Italian-American, so a “Godfather” reference from Rep. Cohen was in extremely poor taste. But hey, “bigotry for me, but not for thee”, right?

Also, a friend sent me a link to a Huffington Post blogger defending Randi Rhodes’ right to call Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro “big f**king wh*res”. I added the link to the blog–its’ now the third paragraph in my diary (it’s surrounded by brackets). I thought that it was important to include it (even though my diary is no longer on the rec list), because it demonstrates perfectly the left’s ability to resort to sexist name calling and misogyny when dealing with women that they don’t like–i.e., “slutty flight attendant”, “stupid b*tch”, “hate f**k, “hillbilly heroine”, “MILF”, “Glenn Close in Fatal Attaction”, “someone should take her into a room and only he comes out”, “I don’t think that ’s her baby”–well, you get the picture. Again, imagine if a conservative pundit or blogger had called Michelle Obama any of these names or had said any of these things about her–I think that the left’s collective heads would have exploded. But again, “Bigotry for me, but not for thee”.
