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]
Now you've used that curseword twice. Do you feel better now?
National Organization of ugly Women
Or the women got asthma from the lake!
Who cares what she thinks? She's not important and neither is anything she says. Especially her cusswords. What a lady she is. huh? Bottom line is this: More babies will survive and THAT is what is important!!!!
With the 'rats sitting on the keisters as the President vows America will fight for freedom to potty mouthed NOW spokeswoman, the left has broken earth orbit and is foating away.
Nice to see all those years of finishing school weren't wasted.
This is family rated page...
Hey, I can understand why Kimmy and NOW are upset. The problem with liberals in Congress is that once you buy them they don't stay bought.
That's Bullshirt.
More like vulgar and crass.
Hint: It rhymes with what you do with the football on fourth and long.
Now instead of them having to buy off senators they have to buy off thousands of legislators in the 50 states.
Ok, so this lady opposes the Iraq war, is that the official position of NOW? Now, let me ask somebody a question, anybody. Does the NRA officially have a position on Iraq?
That's an endorsement in my book.
Would you believe she's a lawyer?;)
Hey Kim! Shut up and get me a beer, beyotch! Have you finished polishing my Harley yet!
