All aboard - Libs and Cons on the Crazy Train

So what is the next degrading euphemism going to be? Pocket-book, fountain pen, women, “optimal”?

Libs and Cons on the Crazy Train
October 20, 2012 Bernard Goldberg
With no apologies, I admit that I’m happier when the only passengers on the Crazy Train are liberals.  It’s fun to see them say and do dopey things as the train goes careening down the tracks. Fun is good, right?
But it troubles me – more than you might think – when I see conservatives filling up half the train and behaving like the screwballs on the Left.
Everybody, even the goofiest feminists knew what he meant.  But they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to liken this to a white racist calling a black guy a you-know-what.  Leaving out the word “resumes” amounted to a crime against humanity for these ninnies.
I personally witnessed more than a few Democrats on TV whine about how demeaning Romney’s comment was to women.  But it wasn’t only Democratic operatives who were trying to make more of this than it deserved.  It was also the president and vice president – understandably because they’ll do anything to change the subject from their dismal economic record of the last four years.
