Apologies, O Ladies of the Internet.
Mitt Romney mentioned “binders full of women” in describing his (extremely successful) efforts to hire women for top-level jobs when he was governor of Massachusetts. We all knew exactly what he meant, but really; boo hoo hoo, sniff sniff sniff — the phraseology!
So shocking that Mr. Romney seems to have forgotten about your too, too delicate sensibilities.
In my day, people with too much time on their hands and an axe to grind filled up their empty hours writing (by hand) lengthy and dense letters about their obscure obsessions to newspaper and magazine editors. Now, it seems, they fill up their empty seconds tweeting, memeing and tumblring.
Asinine as it all is, at least the kerfuffle has provided us with this priceless gem.
Shocking. Romney shouldn't be lugging around binders in this day and age and might've said, "…a rich database of potential female candidates for organizational advancement." Or something like that. Hasn't he learned Newspeak yet? n nO, and that last link; priceless, indeed. LOL!
Naomi, get a sense of humor. It was a silly thing to say, and I'm as pro Romney as anyone. Little things like that matter in a debate, but not long term. It was funny then, and it's funny now. Won't impact the election though
Stupid,idiotic making a big deal out of notta thing!! As bad as using "Big Bird". Won't work, BHO fanatics.
When the opposition has nothing to run on they will invent issues to try and distract the voters.
Ha ha ha ha ha! n nUm, that'd be me laughing at you not with you, Caren.
Caren, whether or not you like Mitt Romeny's programs or policies, he has helped numerous companies avoid bankruptcy and built them into successful concerns. He has helped Staples and Fed Ex grow to become the major employers they are today. He successfully governed a major state. He has given his own time and money to help people who needed it. He has built a strong marriage and, with his wife, has raised 5 kids to be responsible citizens. n nWhat comparable accomplishments of your own can you point to that you feel entitled to refer to him with a disparaging nickname more fitting to your grandmother's cat? What makes you fit to polish the teeth of HIS grandmother's cat? My guess is that you are nothing more than a typical Democrat troll.
Sassy!!
Abe, I doubt that Caren will be back. She may not really even be a she. This is just another hit and run Democrat troll spitting out the party's talking points.
Darn! And I was going to ask her to kindly make us all a pot of coffee. As a gesture to "old-fashioned tokenism," of course.
I'm not sure she knows how to do that; she's probably the kind of champion of the working class who gets all her coffee ready made at some pricey outfit like Starbucks.
