Does Clinton Have 'Testicular Fortitude'?
April 30, 2008 3:48 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: At an event in Indiana, Sen. Hillary Clinton got a ballsy introduction by the president of the local steelworkers union who said it's "going to take an individual with testicular fortitude" to deal with solving the nation's problems.
While Clinton cracked a smile and then burst into laughter behind him, union leader Paul Gibson called for a president who would take a "strong, hard look" at trade and continued, "I'm tired of these Gucci wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle." He backed Clinton saying "I know the entire executive board has not made a move yet to endorse whoever in this primary, Paul Gibson is going to do it right here tonight, she's standing right behind me.”
Clinton addressed Gibson's racy comments – glossing over the slightly controversial part saying with a smile "I do think I have fortitude...women can have it as well as men.”

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in death.
Wow. Just too damned funny.
Photoshop?
I guess he hasn't looked at Hillary's campaign staff lately....
Apparently union leader Paul Gibson is NOT tired of outright crooks.
Well Sid the Squid was drinking more than Lattes before his formula 1-type ride through the small towns of NH.
“I’m tired of these Gucci wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle.”
I would suggest Union Greed is the culprit you idiot.
It took fortitude:
to be exposed to sniper fire in Bosnia
to fire career employees in the Travel office
to threaten Juanita Broaddrick
to kill Kathleen Willey’s cat
to depress Vince Foster
to order radio station employees not to look in her eyes
A whole lock-box full.
That’s racy? M’kay.
“I’m tired of these Gucci wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle.”
I attended a professional function last week in Seattle and watched and listened as my yuppie colleagues complained about the war, global warming, the end of mankind, the price of gasoline and the deterioration of the sevice at Starbuck’s. (I’m not making this up.) And all of said complaints were fashioned with the same superficial grasp of causes and solutions and the underlying premise that the answers reside in merely whining at the right time and place. The problem is, as they so succinctly implied, that not everyone shares their enlightened and insightful perspective of economics, history and human nature. If they did, we’d all be getting our latte’s in a timely manner, prepared to our precise specifications. It was fairly amusing until I realized that the only way these self-centered, over sexed infants are going to grow up is when they’ve experienced something akin to the scourges that decimated Europe in the Middle Ages. They’ve formed their opinions and values in a world where staying at the office past five and missing a meal is their idea of sacrifice and privation.
You have to forgive blue collar guys. What is really ‘butch” they mislabel testicular fortitude.
I don’t care for Hillary or her politics at all, but she’s got more guts than that mewling Obama any day.
I once told my wife that women lack testicular fortitude. Yeah, but we have boobicular fortitude, she said.
Or ovarian fortitude - HilLary is the alpha male of the Democrat Party.
