NOW Outraged by Bush's Underhanded Appointment of Pickering

January 16, 2004

"The National Organization for Women is outraged by George W. Bush's installation of Charles Pickering on the federal appeals court while Congress is in recess," said NOW President Kim Gandy. "We're no longer surprised by the underhandedness of this President—Bush apparently thinks that he can act unilaterally wherever and whenever he pleases."

"NOW has vigorously opposed Pickering's nomination to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for more than two years, and the Senate Judiciary Committee rejected this foe of women's rights once before," said Gandy. "We will certainly work to ensure that this unmerited appointment is overturned when the next Congress takes office in January 2005."

Pickering, a district court judge from Mississippi, has a long record of opposing civil rights and civil liberties, demonstrating significant judicial activism from the bench. He was an opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment and has expressed his support for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. As a state senator, Pickering repeatedly voted against measures that would expand electoral opportunities for African Americans after passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

"Bush's total disregard for the Democratic members of Congress who rightfully blocked Pickering's nomination, his disregard for the women of this country and for democracy in general are appalling," said Gandy. "All the more reason for women's rights supporters to get active and to vote Bush out of office in November."

Anything that causes NOW to be "outraged" is good for society. This holds esspecially true if the brainsick Kim Gandy feels the need to clack her dentures like she's having a convulsive seizure.

Too bad, so sad.

This is for you hatemongering nags in NOW:

[Finalapproach29er]

It wasn't underhanded when Clinton apppointed people unfit for justice of the peace?

[NYTexan]

As Rush has stated more than once "nature has not been kind to these women!"
Helen Thomas, et al

[wiseone]

Sounds like penis-envy ?

I hear that penis-envy is what drove Bill and Hillary apart. He couldn't stand her being bigger.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Stick a sock in it, Kim.

WONDERFUL!!! NOW is outraged!

Bush is clearly doing something right!

[thoughtomator]

This qualifies to be measured by my patented rule-of-thumb... the more hysterical the Left, the better things are going for the good guys.

[Quix]

No, that was

UNDER THE TABLE$$$!!!

[Quix]

Rush is right, no doubt.

But I don't think these women got any where near nature, much less nurture.

Frankenstein's laboratory is a more likely explanation.

[taking fingers out of cheek, maybe]

a NOW feminasty joke ,making rounds on email :

"For all those men who say, "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"... Here's an update for you... Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why?..... Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage"



As the owner of a “little sausage” I resent that insult!!

[LayoutGuru2]

[Quix]

Given how many of them are such constipated tight arses,

anything more than than a little sausage would cause a lot of damage.

But, too many of them are Skilled Bobbit disciples anyway.

So, guard the little guy well!

Steer very clear of the angry woman!

[goldstategop]

Hehehe... They're not having a good year. The NOW NAGs are in a snit over the banning of partial birth abortion and stunned by the withdrawal of Carol Moseley Braun from the Democratic presidential contest. There couldn't be a more bitter group of feminazis in America today.

[NYTexan]

You may be on to something!
anybody check the basement at Chappaqua?

[Quix]

"on" to something ???

[I know what you meant but springboarding off the wall to another direction]

. . .

Nah, I've been turned off generally and especially to angry women for . . . well, going on decades, actually.

They can go . . . masticate . . . river rocks or some such. Just stay the . . . hot fires . . . away from me. Peace is more important than a lot of other things. Peace and sanity.

Too many such women are very skilled at crazy making.

And I don't need ANY help with THAT!

[NYTexan]

LOL! Can relate to that!
Peace and tranquility brother!
