Newsweek's Clift Mocks GOP Women's Pro-Life Views as 'So Yesterday' (irony alert)
Newsbusters ^ | 6/14/10 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 06/14/2010 12:49:50 PM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010

Newsweek's Eleanor Clift, on this weekend's syndicated The McLaughlin Group, slighted conservative pro-life women everywhere when she applied California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina's "so yesterday" description of Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's hairstyle to women who hold anti-abortion views in the Republican Party. Clift, in a segment about the primary victories of both Fiorina and GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman began actually crediting Sarah Palin as "Saint Sarah" for the wins as she claimed that the former Alaskan Governor is "emboldening conservative women" and "reshaping the religious right" but then went on to question if pro-life women candidates could win statewide races in California because their views would be seen as "so yesterday." Incidentally, The Washington Times' Monica Crowley had to correct Clift as she pointed out her liberal spin wasn't even entirely accurate as Whitman is, in fact, "pro choice."

What is really “yesterday” is Clift and her almost defunct employer.

Clift: "If a certain slave woman had had an abortion like she was supposed to, we would not be dealing with a certain Alvin Greene and a messed up primary in South Carolina."

Ironic, indeed. It’s these ‘60s leftovers who are hopelessly outdated. It’s as if America in 1950, on the rim of the Space Age, was getting its talking points from 1910. The ‘60s loving media will never admit these people are passe, because then the ‘60s-loving media would then have to recognize that they are passe as well.

“So yesterday”...I knew the Liberals would find a way to use that.

Au contraire, it's the leaders of the pro-abort movement who are aging out.

Lol, of course. It's what children do when they get irritated - try to twist it around and throw it back at the person who aggravated them.

And she couldn't even get it right when she did it. *mwheh*

That picture looks like she’s ready to give Obama the same thing she wanted to give Clinton.

Newsweek can’t be long for this world. I doubt the WP finds a buyer. I hear Newsmax is a bidder.
