A tendency to bathe frequently causes liberals considerable consternation.

Tammy Bruce ping

[Pukin Dog]

Thats gonna leave a mark.

[cripplecreek]

I remember the moment when I realized that I really like Tammy Bruce.

She said that in the days before she outed herself as a conservative it was announced that Ronald Reagan had Alzheimers disease. She said she found dozens of messages on her answering machine from liberal friends cheering Reagans misfortune. She said she sat down and cried for a while but then she got angry.

How long before the lesbian bashing idiots start ripping this thread? I wish they would get a life!

[randog]

Now Bush has lib'rals denouncing exercise because he does it and they hate him.

I tell ya, it's like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes.

[Taliesan]

Tammy Bruce is one smart chick. At some point in her life she will be able to extend her conservative principles ("standards" over "because you can") to the issue of abortion.

[el_texicano]

What??? NO Tammy PICS????

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I loved this;

President and Mrs. Bush and the Roberts family make the mistake of not pledging allegiance to the decline of culture. They insult the Left by reminding intellectually lazy Slaves to Decay like Chait and Givhan that class, decorum and respect still exist. Tradition, caring for one's family and caring for oneself are still values that prevail.

[wildbill]

How would Chait and his ilk have a clue about whether exercise is good for you?

The closest they probably have been to regular exercise in their lives is flapping their lips.

I missed Chait's screed, but Givhan's piece made me spitting mad. I'm a pretty hip mother of an 11-year-old and an 8-year-old, and let them wear pretty much what they like (although my daughter is EXTREMELY modest in her tastes), but you can be darn sure I would not let them set foot in the White House without proper clothing. My son wore short suits like Jack Roberts when he was that age and we were attending weddings, Easter services, and other special events. It isn't old-fashioned, any more than it was old-fashioned for President Reagan to never set foot in the Oval Office without a suit and tie. It's called RESPECT FOR THE INSTITUTION, stupid!!! And only in New York City would a professional woman dressed in a pastel suit in the height of the summer heat be considered strange and looking like a "Necco wafer." Washington law firms are very conservative and women lawyers dress very conservatively, regardless of their political orientation.

I remember plenty of talk about the slobs in the Clinton White House, running around in shorts and flip-flops and sweatsuits and sneakers. Horrible. President Bush reinstituted a dress code for White House employees. It makes me proud every time I see a White House event and everyone is neatly dressed and well groomed. It certainly isn't creepy, for gosh sakes!

This is a GREAT read.

"Consider all the perfectly toned airheads in Hollywood"

Gosh, this guy just slammed his party's most ardent supporters. But I do agree with him about them being airheads.

[IronJack]

It's always shocking when the left unmasks itself

Think John Merrick without the charm ...

[RandallFlagg]

Do we have a "Tammy Bruce," rule?

[Publius6961]

The notion of a connection between physical and mental potency is, of course, silly. ..."

Those silly Romans... "mens sana in corpore sano..."

What the hell is a Jonathan Chait anyway?
And what would a hairdresser know about this stuf?

I don't see Tammy Bruce's articles very often on FR. If someone posts them regularly, ping me, ok?

This is so good that there's not much even I can add.
