Bob Geldof in hot water over 'lovely legs' comment to Irish politician

Irish Central ^ | KENNETH HAYNES

[Canedawg]

she does have nice legs, and I have no problem with Geldof saying so.

I see the PC Movement has been lost on you.

;-)

Who are the culprits who design women's clothing and styles so that their limbs are exposed? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ehh, it doesn't matter, pretty soon you'll all be wearing burkas.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Well for an older woman I believe that Prime Minister Merkel of Germany has a fabulous set of breasts. Now is there anything wrong with a nice compliment??????????

[bmwcyle]

He is not guilty.

[Secret Agent Man]

If you don’t want to be noticed don’t expose them in a short skirt.

I am sorry, professional in very tight short skirt is using her sexuality and putting it out there. To be offended that people notice it is hypocrtical to say the least.

[DejaJude]

I fail to see the offense.

Neither do I. If you invite a "shock jock" to your party, why be shocked?

[Secret Agent Man]

I am SO tired of women blaming everyone but themselves for their wardrobe choices.

EVERY woman I know wears ONLY what SHE wants to wear. They pick their own clothes out. You can get professional clothes that aren’t form fitting and up past the knees.

And don’t give me the crap that they’re only dresing that way because men somehow make them dress that way.

The whole blame everyone but me thing has to end. You want to be treated like the big boys, you need to man up. At least women have a lot more variety available to them in terms of what they can get away with wearing in the office.

Some of the people at the Forum still haven't forgiven him for calling Ireland a "banana republic" in the 1980s.

Well, when we call the US a Banana Republic and the POTUS a Communist usurper, we won't be forgiven by the PC crowd, either

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

well, I guess it “hit” somewhere, but honestly, it passed without my notice, LOL.....fwiw, he made a good decision to change his line of work:)

It's nothing new for Geldof to be upsetting people. Some of the people at the Forum still haven't forgiven him for calling Ireland a "banana republic" in the 1980s.

In the 1980s, Ireland had rampant unemployment and high budget deficits. Lots of young Irish voted with their feet, emigrating, often illegally to the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Boston. After Ireland reformed its economy in the 1990s, many of those Irish went home.

In other words, Bob was on the mark with his comment.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The correct response to such a remark is, "thank you my husband agrees" and then ignoring it.

If the guy was trying to come on to you it warns him off.

If he was trying to fluster you then it stops him cold.

And if he is clumsily trying to give you a compliment then it allows him to extract himself with dignity.

[NCC-1701]

I agree with Bob on this one.

BTW,

NOT GUILTY by a parsec!!!!!

[castlebrew]

Amen!

If you don’t want people to watch the commercials, don’t advertise!

[Red in Blue PA]

She is definitely not guily.

ANd neither is he for saying so.

[Secret Agent Man]

you sure you replied to the right person? I didn’t write what you had in italics.

Wasn't Geldof a character in Lord of the Rings?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. He was king of the elves or the druids or something.

[nickcarraway]

< a href=” “> </a> This was his only major hit in the U.S. (but it wasn’t that major) But he had other in the U.K. The song is based on the true story of a 16 year old San Diego girl who went on a shooting spree, killing two adults and injuring eight children. They asked her why she did it, and she said, “I don’t like mondays.” He also have several strangely-named daughters with Paula Yates, and started LiveAid.

[Mr. Lucky]

He knows what you’re thinking.

"That was a blatantly sexist remark about a woman who is doing a professional job at the very highest level."

Nobody cares about that. Does she have lovely legs or not? D@MN leftists always change the subject.

[skepsel]

No, that was Goodgulf the Wizard, mentor to young Dildo....
