What’s Good For The Gander Ain’t Good For The Goose…Apparently

You know I really hate when a woman demands a double-standard for herself that is in no way applied to her male peers. Governor Blanco, whom you all know I abhor, gets a free pass on her stupefyingly abysmal response to the Katrina disaster. She asked for it, and she got it. Stupid, pansy-ass senators - probably terrified that a tough question or two would make her weep and they’d be crucified in the press for “being big meanies and making a girl cry.” G-d, she makes me sick!

So while swooning Lady Blanco was being handled with white gloves by the Senate Finance Committee, Mike Brown, former head of FEMA, was taking it up the a** from members of both political parties. They probably weren’t so afraid he’d collapse in tears if they pounded on him as if he were a criminal - and so they did.

I credit Blanco with setting women back at least a generation or two. She has fulfilled all the fallacious, time-worn arguments against women in positions of true power and leadership. I mean, she single-handedly reinforced ancient stereotypes of women folding under pressure, collapsing in befuddled tears, and being unable to make a decision. After watching her pathetic, emotionally crippled performance why would anyone want to take that chance with another woman? The frustration of it is killing me!
