Bette Midler’s West Virginia slur proves she’s the ‘illiterate’ bigot

Bette Midler ought to try reading a book. To the uninitiated, books are these things made of paper that have words printed on them. Hard words, not just pictures. Stuff that illiterates — some of whom live in lazy, superior, effete, privileged Tinseltown — might hire underlings to decipher for them.
The Not-So Divine Miss M, 76, would learn that in 1861, the proud people living in the western part of Virginia voted to tear off from the slave-owning state to form a Union state, many of whose citizens fought and died in the Civil War to end the scourge of people-owning.
Yes, West Virginia, which Bette slimed in a tweet Monday as containing “poor, illiterate and strung out” toothless folks, isn’t completely populated by insect-eating meth heads and grinning imbeciles. It has a generous share of rugged individualists such as Joe Manchin, 74, the Democratic senator who enraged the Hollywood Harpie and various insufferable elites by voting down the president’s multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better wild spending spree.
Manchin also earned the wrath of entitled progressives such as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who threatened political vengeance against senators with whom she disagrees, making sure to trash them as sexist goons.
“What we really need to do is crack down on the Senate, which operates like an old boys’ club that has a couple of gals in it that have managed to break through,” AOC, 32, railed on MSNBC Monday.
She recklessly accused Manchin of being sneaky.
“The Senate adjourned on Friday,” she said on Fox News Channel. “And then he waited until everyone was on vacation to say, ‘No, I’m not going to vote for this.’ He waited until there was a moment of minimal pressure. . . . This is a very calculated timing.”

Players don’t like getting played. I guess it’s a real bit@h to get treated exactly the way you treat others.

Reminds me of the ultimate insult which the "Eunice" character on Carrol Burnett's "Mama" skits used to hurl at her enemies:
"I hate you more than books!"

Bette started out playing gay dives, I think. Cher? Who knows? Maybe it’s an easy look for transvestites to pull off.

America would be a hell of a lot better off if Cortez was sent back to pimping Margaritas and tacos to the “college” Snowflakes, Marshmallows, cupcakes and Twinkies. An America that supports the bigotry and stupidity of people like AOC, Omar, and the rest of the delusional 'woke' no longer deserves the sacrifices of those who would die to protect it.

Born in Hawaii, she became a victim early on, as a.Jew living among Asians.
She began singing in the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the Ansonia Hotel, NYC, in the summer of 1970. During this time, she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first album in 1972, The Divine Miss M.
It was during her time at the Continental Baths that she built up a core following. In the late 1990s, during the release of her album Bathhouse Betty, Midler commented on her time performing there, “Despite the way things turned out [with the AIDS crisis], I’m still proud of those days. I feel like I was at the forefront of the gay liberation movement, and I hope I did my part to help it move forward. So, I kind of wear the label of ‘Bathhouse Betty’ with pride.”

These people provide no value to life and are a waste of flesh!
Unlike the blowass “STARS”, people in West Virginia as in other states make their living scratching it out of the ground!

Pot, kettle. He makes manchin into achero. He would be further left than grahamnesty, snow n collins. He co wrote the most egregious anti gun legislation under obama.
He is a person who would left the citizens unable to pull off 1861.

We should remind them that Pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
