Hilary Rosen Questions

vanity

[airedale]

I know very little about Hilary Rosen other than her comments and that she's been very successful in her career, had at least 2 long term relations with another powerful lesbian and adopted 2 kids with Elizabeth Birch (seperaed from in 1966). Her current partner is Randi Weingarden the powerful head of the American Federation of Teachers (which tells you they really didn't toss her under the bus). I have some questions about her background:

1. Who are her parents and are they wealthy?

2. Was she a trust-fund kid? (if she's wealthy from a trust-fund and didn't really have to work it undercuts her comments since when the Romneys started having kids and the Romney's made the decsion that she'd stay home and raise the kids they were really strapped for funds living in a small apartment when going to graduate school).

3. Since she's seperated from Elizabeth Birch who has custody of the 2 kids? Is Rosen raising the kids or is Birch? If Birch is raising the 2 kids is Rosen paying child support appropriate for her income?

4. Did Birch and Rosen use a nanney or au pair to take care of the 2 kids when they were together or did they take care of the kids personally like the Romney's did?

This is something to fill in some blanks. The same questons would apply if she were straight and her partners were men.

I didn't know anything about her, so I went to her bio on Wikipedia and scanned it a bit. That was the night before last. I just went there again to clip the address and the page has changed a lot. Some of the background about her is gone and there is already an update about her attack on Ann Romney.

We need to quit focusing on this. Ann Romney and Hilary Rosen can take of themselves. The country is failing. The first thing is to get our vote counting back . No foreign company should be counting our votes.

If she is a lesbian, how is it that she has the moral authority to speak on issues important to average women?

[airedale]

They were adopted and neither gave birth to the kids

[nycteacher]

Ha. I know Randy well, her partner who previously ran the NYC Federation of Teachers. Randi is a leftist. It’s funny a generation ago these people would not be spokespeople for the Democratic Party. While I generally don’t agree with people like Joe Lieberman or Ed Koch, both have pretty good instincts on foreign policy, there’s no place for people like that today in the Democratic Party. It tells you a lot about the modern Democratic Party.

Rosen separated from Birch in 2006. Rosen was the Luddite who oversaw the RIAA as they went after Napster and other peer to peer file sharers. She has an obvious disdain for ‘breeders’. I imagine that with the dissolution of the relationship with Birch, the kids could be in the tree-house or in Martinique and neither woman would care. Her new lily lapper is Weingarten. At this point, I know more about her moral compass than I care to.

Considering the circles they run in, adoption doesn’t exactly rule out the baster thing.

[airedale]

She’s a powerful liberal and they assume they have that right almost like a divine right of kings

[airedale]

Weingarten is a member of the Democratic National Committee. Wikipedia also says she’s a king maker in New York Politics, a key supporter in Howard Dean’s run for President and a super delegate for Hilary.

Her position guarantees that Hilary won’t be damaged. it would hurt any Democrat who tried. It also is further evidence that Hilary’s comments were well planned and approved by the Obama campaign.

And why not?

Being a "powerful liberal" she is, of course, smarter than the rest of us. And knows what's good for all of us dumb-ass commoners -- better than we do.

Just ask her. She'll tell you...

[airedale]

If you do any reading about the progressive movement or the eugenics movement here in the US you’ll find that attitude is common. We’re smarter and better than you are and as long as you do what we want you’ll be fine. If you don’t we’ll force you to do what we want. You see that same attidude in Obama and his administration too.

[CT Hillbilly]

Has she ever worked a day in her life in the world the rest of us “folks” live in?

Does she clean her own toilets and wash her own clothes?

Does she cut coupons and use her CVS Extra Care Card so she can get Extra Bucks to buy household neccesities?

Did she have heat this past winter or did she choose to eat instead?

Tell us about yourself Hillary-we really want to know if you’re one of us “folk”...

[hope]

Libs are lying that she wasn’t hired by the DNC. She is or recently was hired as an adviser to Wasserman/Schultz.

[airedale]

Did she even live an ordinary life as a girl and as a student. If she’s a trust-fund baby then she probably lived the rich life during college and didn’t have the struggles you mentioned as a child, student or early in her working life. She’s certainly doing well now and while she probably doesn’t have the $$$ of Romney she’s not like us ordinary folk.

[woofie]

I thought we are supposed to hate Romney and his wife

which makes this thread mute

[airedale]

Mute or moot?

[woofie]

Yep you are correct....I need to use moot more often
