Oooh Daddy

Via Jesse at Pandagon,(who will give you the full hilarious run-down) I see that the Cornerites are all a twitter at the new Geena Davis show “Commander In Chief.” They are having little giggle fits at the idea that a woman president would be, like, so cute when she’s negotiating and baking cookies!

Here’s little taste of the more serious side of the discussion from Jonah “Doughy Pant Load” Goldberg:

The idea that a female liberal president would be more “feminine” than Bill Clinton is absurd, laughable, factually untrue. Bill Clinton was weepy, huggy and at all times pain-feeling. He’d wax eloquent on the glories of talk and empathy. At the end of one marathon meeting which accomplished nothing, he stretched out in his chair and said “That was great” as if he was about to light a cigarette. Feminists declared him the first female president. He talked of security not in the sense of blowing up terrorists but of leaving no children behind…And, sad to say, it was so successful that George W. Bush and Karl Rove copied it with their treacly “compassionate conservatism.” It took 9/11 to remind George W. Bush why Republicans are called the Daddy Party.

Actually, I’d heard about that all night meeting too, except I’d heard that at the end of it, he stretched out in his chair and said “that was great — Monica.”

And I believe he lit a cigar if I’m not mistaken.

I don’t actually blame Jonah. With a mother like his it’s hard to see how he could have come out unscathed. But this is just sad. The little guy wrote that whole thing without even realizing what he was revealing about his issues with women — and why Republican males like him hated Bill Clinton.
