Re your posty #26 - BTW, despite the LOUSY Drem stats or record of allowing in women who want to work on Madison Ave or in Hollywood, liberals never fail to obscure their own crummy record to take a shot at GW.

While I was reading a movie review this morning about "North County" -- that new movie about the first sex discrimination lawsuit in this country, filed by a woman working in the PA mines -- I was shocked to see the movie was directed by: A WOMAN. And I thought to myself:

This is SO unusual, to see a WOMAN directing a Hollywood movie...there must be an insult against the Bush administration coming at the end of this review.

And, guess what? I was right. In the last paragraph of the review, the writer took a hit at GW:

"The filmmakers' inability to wrest a happy ending out of this story, much less a hint of real triumph, also may be partly explained by recent events. Last year, the advocacy group National Women's Law Center issued a report that accused the Bush administration of rolling back gains for women in all walks of life, noting the diminished number of sex-discrimination cases handled by the Justice Department. It's hard to imagine what the women who fought Eveleth Mines would make of these developments, though it is a good guess that they would be pleased to see their struggle onscreen and back in the public eye. After all, as is clear from the plaintiff who had her ashes scattered over the mines, these women knew when it was time to fight."

So, you see - the Dems are quite clever. They have the WORST RECORD OF EMPLOYIONG WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD AND ON MADISON AVE, but they find just ONE MOVIE directed by a WOMAN and -- POW! a DIG at GW is slipped right on in there. Now -- as for every OTHER movie released this year, NOT directed by a woman, well, no mention will be made of GW's alleged record in those reviews...

posty = post -- and you can figure out my other typos. I get too angry thinking about this subject of ignoring talented women. But I am still glad this particular JERK RESIGNED and suffered a DEATH BY BLOG. VERY GLAD.
