Politician refers to women as "vaginas"

[Akasa]

Because women are nothing more than their reproductive parts to these assholes.

I just...what?

Freudian slip much?

Not that that excuses him at all, but...I can't even comprehend how he thought that was good word choice there.

I was almost willing to say that maybe he sent it from his phone and some bizarre, unfortunate autocorrect happened, but...if his non-apology is accurately reproduced here, then I guess not. So much for the benefit of the doubt.

The original email was sent April 1 (talk about timing ), and the Unappology came out yesterday. Today, however, he's admitted that what he said was, "blatantly offensive, insensitive, and frankly, stupid language."

Wow, what a lousy excuse of an "apology". "I didn't mean it and they're making me look bad!"

I see this as indicative of the GOP's true colours. The demeaning comment and the half assed apology being insulting their political rivals tells a lot about them.

Guess it took him a few days to remember that woman can vote. >.>

Now, now, be fair - they also think that we're a nice pair of breasts.

Well, now, look at it from his point of view. Of course he sees women as just vaginas: after all, he's a prick.

(But isn't it customary in that context, rather than using the medical term, to use a one-syllable synonym?)

I love the "It's your fault what I said was offensive" with the classic taken out of context response.

The only reason he gave any kind of apology at all is because someone in his party leadership called him and said, "Dude, you fucked up. Fix it, this isn't making the party look good and it's going to hurt you at election time."

Deep down, he still doesn't understand what he did wrong because he clearly doesn't value women.

I pity his wife.
