The f-word and femaleness

The recently released collection of saying by Hillary Clinton titled I’ve Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words, quotes the New York Senator as addressing her Arkansas staff thus:

Where is the goddamn f**ing flag?... I want the goddamn f*ing flag up every f*ing morning at f**ing sunrise.

This is not the first time we hear of Mrs. Clinton’s penchant for foul language. Several of her close associates have indicated that such niceties figure prominently in her private speech. Completely indecorous and unladylike, it is sharply repulsive to hear any woman speak in this fashion. It is especially inappropriate from a woman who should know better than to wrap herself in this kind of verbal filth.

What a contrast with another woman in the public spotlight. Whatever one may think of the wisdom of Laura Bush’s occasional political comments, one thing is undeniable – she is a real lady. Classy and perceptibly decent, one simply cannot imagine she would ever use language like this.

Neither woman needs to rely on foul language to be successful as a politician. Margaret Thatcher was never known for using the f-word and yet she became phenomenally effective in a men-dominated field. Boldly confronting and ultimately prevailing over some of the most ruthless cutthroats in modern history (the Soviets), she did so without once lowering herself to their brute level or sacrificing one ounce of her female seemliness. The Iron Lady was a Real Lady. Her toughness did not come from a filthy mouth, but from her unwavering dignity and the strength of her convictions.

Mrs. Clinton is apparently lacking in both. Quicksilverishly elusive about her beliefs and intentions, she chips away at whatever female dignity there is still left with every f-word she utters.

I wouldn't touch her with a four inch pole. Ah, strike that.

TMI, mikey, just TMI. :=)

Hillary Clinton is a f*cking fat f*cking pig.

[twhitak]

Hillary called me an A**hole to my face. My only encounter with a trully famous figure.

You're not gonna get off that easily. We want details!

I've been known to drop the F-bomb on many occasions. One was when I'd been working on a document for 20 minutes and my computer crashed and I lost the document. I yelled "Oh, ____!" just as the boss and her son came around the corner to my cubicle (she'd been out that day). I immediately apologized, and her reply to me was, "It's OK, he's (her son) heard that before!"

The contrast between Hillary! and Laura is striking.

Scum. White trash. Nuff said.

[MissAmericanPie]

What is to be expected of a woman who decorates the private quarters White House Christmas Tree with mj pipes, papers, and other drug paraphernalia?

[fortheDeclaration]

Many females think cursing makes them appear 'tough'.

We see this all the time on TV and the movies.

[mikeybaby]

Well, It's not really true, you know.
Really, it's not.
Honest.

  I wouldn't carry this line of argument too far. I can't speak to Thatcher's vulgarity, especially in private, but she could be devastatingly effective in delivering a put-down. Just watch some of the old Question Times in the House of Commons (or whatever it was called when the PM had to respond to any questions they had.) I can't recall any cursing offhand, but she could be very blunt, and occasionally salty. Her behavior was not "lady-like," it was appropriate for a Prime Minister.

  Cursing is more common here than it is in England, as well. It is appropriate to criticize Clinton for losing her temper, but the language - not so much (OK, it's appropriate to criticize her for anything, I'm just trying to be fair here...)

Women, by and large, are much more crude than men.

[mkjessup]

I think that the most hurtful thing that anyone could say to Senator Mrs. Bill Clinton, is that she is certainly as vulgar, perhaps even more vulgar than former President Richard M. Nixon in his private moments.

"My hideous nightmare"

May it ever remain...an unfulfilled nightmare.

You can take the B##ch out of the Trailer, but you can't take the Trailer out of the B##ch.

So condoms as decorations on the White House Christmas tree were an unfounded rumor?
