She's a presidential candidate. What's the average age of your presidents again?

haven't been any women presidents

i know folks would like it if it were but it's not the same

I know a guy in his late 50's who still thinks he's attractive to women in their early to mid 20's. He gets agitated whenever someone points out the fact that he's pushing 60, overweight, out of shape, and probably looks like an old man to any woman in that age range.

does he pull any 20-something snatch

On some things not all the truth needs to be spelled out all the time, that's a pretty basic principle that allows society to function.

This is one area where polite decorum actually makes sense. It makes no sense when talking about the Dianne Feinstein situation. But here yes, absolutely. A news anchor or whatever his role is should be beholden to some standard of civility.

if he thinks a 50 something woman can't get the votes and it's his job to analyze candidates he would be remiss of his duty NOT to say it

this isn't a dinner party

the only thing he should be beholden to is complete honesty

Not any that I'm aware of since his college days when Ronald Reagan was still in the White House.

that's probably why he's a bit cantankerous

Dunno, I think analyzing would involve, say, asking whether women face a different set of expectations than men (they do duh) and discussing how this projects on the "electability" of this or that candidate with such and such voter group vs other factors and dynamics that could be in play. 

"A woman is not in her prime at 50, that's just the facts, don't shoot the messenger" is just a mess.

The one thing that's amusing about this exchange is how used he must be to make catty remarks about women's appearance off camera as only a mean gay guy can. Though unlike the vast majority of mean gays, he doesn't strike me as particularly funny.

But I respect the Occult Hawk ethos re social conventions!

[Toy Revolver]

i think she's pretty hot tbh

the firing probably somehow relatee to tucker carlson

[SGR]

Wait that Don Lemon comment was about Tulsi? She looks great for 42.

Edit: Oops, nvm, it was about Nikki Haley - she looks great for her age too though

[jadis]

Spoke to daddy jazz. He said he's met Diane Abbott and that she is indeed a rancid cunt

Is he a Labour member?

I liked this comment (from a Tory peer!) that it's important to try to be compassionate about she had to go through as a trailblazing black MP, while also firmly saying that enough is enough, because she doesn't care to extend that compassion to others

i don't think it's his job to rate her looks lol. You're being ultra autistic with your idea that the news is all about reporting any and every fact regardless of context.

[Jwb]

I just watched the clip lol

So apparently this broad made a comment about certain politicians being basically senile and not cognitively all there, and suggested that once you're past a certain year you should be tested for your mental faculties. And he responded with oh yeah? Well you're not hot anymore so that's like the same thing!

[jimmy jazz]

@jadis no but he was friends with an MP in the 90s. Which was when/how he met Abbott.

it's an absolute failure on cnn's part not to have full vaginal coverage on nikki haley

it is their journalistic duty to report all facts

is it shaved
when was the last penetration
when was the hymen broken
does it still bleed

they seriously need to keep the public informed

ALL the news without fear nor favor
