National Organization for Women president Kim Gandy was so angry on Tuesday after the Senate confirmed Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito that she began cursing during a radio interview.
"That is such B - llsh - t!" Gandy exclaimed, after radio host Steve Malzberg argued that Alito was nowhere near as politically extreme as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who once favored lowing the age of consent for women to 12.
The staff at WOR Radio bleeped Gandy's swearword and Malzberg promptly warned her, "Hey, hey, hey - you can't say that on the air . . . I suggest that you control yourself - we're on the public airwaves."
Souding surprised at the reprimand, the N.O.W. chief responded: "Excuse me - that's a curseword?"
The foul-mouthed feminist then proceeded to get into a verbal tussle over the Iraq war - and N.O.W.'s support for anti-American "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan.
Gandy stopped short of endorsing Sheehan's description of President Bush as "a terrorist," but explained: "I think that he's done some pretty terrible things. And getting us into the Iraq war was one of them. He misled the public. He misled the Congress."
Gandy then complained that the U.S. military was mistreating "our soldiers, especially our female soldiers."
"There are women soldiers in Iraq who died of dehydration because they were afraid to drink any liquids after three or four in the afternoon because they would be raped if they had to go to the latrine at night," the top feminist fumed. "Raped by our own soldiers."
Gandy's R-rated outburst came during the following exchange:
MALZBERG: You don't see it as a president's right to have a Supreme Court nominee given an up or down vote?
GANDY: Oh, absolutely.
MALZBERG: So when you saw Ruth Bader Ginsburg come out for the age of consent to be lowered to 12 for legalized . . .
GANDY: Oh, that's - that is such B - llsh - t!
MALZBERG: Hey, hey, hey, hey. You can't say that on the air. That is not - that's absolutely . . .
GANDY: That is not . . .
MALZBERG: That's absolutely in the past of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
GANDY: That is ludicrous. That is absolutely ludicrous. It's not true. I've heard it said on right wing . . .
MALZBERG: Well, I suggest you do your homework.
GANDY: I've done my homework. Ruth Bader Ginsburg . . .
MALZBERG: . . . . and control yourself. We're on the public airwaves.
GANDY: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of my heroes. She was my law professor when I was in law school. She's one of my heroes. She never said anything . . .
MALZBERG: [She favored] legalized prostitution, lowering the age of consent. And yet she was overwhelmingly confirmed with about 96 votes.
GANDY: She was recommended by Orrin Hatch.
MALZBERG: That's not true. That is not true. Orrin Hatch never recommended her.
GANDY: It's definitely - Orrin Hatch's autobiography says that he recommended her.
MALZBERG: I've heard Orrin Hatch asked that.
GANDY: And Orrin Hatch was right.
MALZBERG: Well, we have a basic fundamental disagreement but I'm able to control myself and not curse at you.
GANDY: What, are you - you're saying - excuse me, that's a curseword? I - ah - well, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's amazing.
MALZBERG: Well, yeah, you're not allowed to say that on the airwaves. Surprise, surprise. I thought someone who's been on as many programs as you probably [would] understand that. But now you know and you'll probably never say that word again.
GANDY: It could be. [END EXCERPT]
Gandy went to law school? I'll bet she's a HOOT in the courtroom.
Female soldiers dying of dehydration because they don't drink after 4 so they wont get raped if they go to the latrine... bump
Yep! Her mad days are my happy days. ;o)
He's also on WMAL.
The time for these nags having long since passed, you must mean a clock.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEUW!!!!
Class.
Why don't these people do as they promised and move to Canada?
Livid and out of control that someone might just read the U.S. Constitution where no mention is made that "Our Creator, God" somehow gives us some inalienable right to kill our unwanted children. It seems the lefties are finding solace in thinking that Republicans wouldn't want Roe overturned because they'd then lose it as a "wedge issue" in both fund-raising and election year politics. It seems to me that just the opposite is, in fact, true. When the issue is returned to the various states, that could serve to dramatically energize anti-abortion folks becasue it would be a winnable, local fight rather than some far off Supreme Court matter.
She Can't Understand Normal Thinking, can she?
bump for publicity
As radio guy Phil Hendrie's characters would say, "every time these people open their mouths they sink into a bigger sewer of dumb!"
So the abortion lovers are not happy with the new justice? Too damn bad. Conservatives did not like Ginsburg and Breyer either but there was really nothing we could do. So the lefties had better just suck it up.
You better be a little more specific than that. Those NOW gals are pretty perverted.
Saying :"BULLSHIT" makes you "foul-mouthed"?
Oh, come one. Focus on the substance of what Kim Gandy is saying! She doesn't know what she's talking about.
Saying "bullshit" is the least of her sins.
I agree. Angry means we've hit our mark. Go Bush! Go Alito! Let's see -- the muzzies are furious about a cartoon; NOW's beside themselves; the liberal Senators are frothing at the mouth; the anti-war crowd is marching and banging pots.
All's right with the world.
Yeah, sure, lunatic. Name one.
Bull$#!+ is not a curse-word.
It's a vulgarity.
ROTFL
Kim Gandy = dinosaur
Michelle Malkin = youth
Which party would you rather be a part of?
Seriously, the repubs better take advantage of the mass left-wing meltdown that's occuring right now. I can't remember the dems being so far back against the wall since 1994 when we sweeped the house and senate.
