Take a gander at the YouTube video embedded below, produced and posted online by Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group. Or if you have more important things to do (and I don't blame you) than to watch this venom-spewing performance by a pompous parade of right-wing male commentators, let me describe it to you.
A video cavalcade of pompous, annoying, thoroughly unattractive, low-brow guys poke fun at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent clarifications of her position on what she knew (about the Bush administration's use of torture) and when she knew it.

In the 2008 election McCain carried the white female vote, maybe it was black feminists that reacted to those evil male chauvinists.
good for mrs. p henry ;)
Had she been a man, they would have (correctly) come right out and called Pelosi a "Lying SOB!"...
Is there any way on YouTube to link this video with all the dozens of others where the Democrats are making fun of Sarah Palin?
Do you have a cite for that?
Me too and I consider Pelosi a different species, never mind gender.
Republicans made significant gains with white women in 2008 over 2000, Rush Limbaugh’s strategy seems to be working.
“Obama performed slightly worse with white women, 39 percent of voters, than Al Gore did in 2000. McCain won the votes of white women, 53 to 46 percent, perhaps an indication of the historical candidacy of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.”

Stupid broad, probably has hairy armpits and and hairy legs, and doesn’t know jack about anything except what her leftists instructors taught her.
But charges that Sarah Palin's new baby was, in fact, Bristol's baby is high brow?
Yes, it is very bad, the election fraud. And really disgusting. The worst, to me, is that the military ballots somehow just never seem to make it back, be postmarked, etc. on time.
I think some Ross Perot-sort of guy should fly over and GET them, bring them back. Or electronic voting. Something’s rotten in the State of Denmark, as they say.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Your own source cites Sarah Palin as the possible reason for white women’s support of McCain. It doesn’t cite Rush Limbaugh ... or any other loudmouth hurling juvenile insults at politicians ... for that gain.
Politics ain’t beanball!
It sure isn’t. So who do so many still treat it in that Jr. High sort of way?
That was just the writer's speculation, he wasn't making a formal claim based on any numbers or polls, actually since 2000 we easily won the white woman vote in 2004 and 2008 but the real point is that you were just wrong in your feminist view.
To support your feminist hostility towards a leading conservative voice like Rush you tried to give the impression that the we lost white women in 2008 since they would be the ones most likely to respond negatively if your radical lefty, girly claim were true, but it wasn't, they didn't, you were wrong, and you still sound angry and desperate.
You should bake Rush Limbaugh a cake or offer to clean his house or something.
Basically it is the Chicago way as modified by Barrack Obama: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” This is the way you win elections in our modern society.
It is not a ‘feminist view’ to ask that politics stick to substantive issues, not juvenile remarks about appearance.
We have huge and very serious problems with our political leaders and government, yet some people choose to criticize them for their appearance?
Sorry, that’s just stupid and wasteful.
Rush Limbaugh is a very intelligent man and I agree with him on most things. But he squanders his credibility when he wanders away from substantive issues and indulges in stupid, vacuos attacks on appearance (of men and women politicians).
Ditto for other commentators who do the same thing.
Most of us agree that Rush Limbaugh has a brilliant strategy and that it works, the 2008 election that you cited turns out to make silly yours and the writer of this story’s claim, you seem alone in your feelings.
If your attack on Rush isn’t just a feminist, emotional outburst of grrl power and sisterhood with your lefty counter parts, then try basing it on some evidence instead of just posting the same angry personal displeasure that you feel, even when I posted the actual 2008 figures that refuted your use of 2008 your response was to just ignore them and stay on the attack.
The evidence is common sense. Attacking politicians for how they look, particularly when there are much more important and egregious things to attack them on, loses conservatives credibility.
It’s juvenile and stupid. It’s just as juvenile and stupid when liberals do it as when conservatives do it.
The evidence supports the rest of us and common sense success is what you are ignoring, Republicans have started winning the white female (aka mostly "feminist") vote in the last two elections which refutes that BS you tried on us in post 115 and your continued emotional defense of this article.
"Strategy matters" and Rush is brilliant in that area. It is "juvenile and stupid" for you to keep posting the same emotional personal feeling over and over, we know how you feel, repeating it isn't necessary.
