“Perry could have come back just as forcefully instead of fumbling around, looking vaguely embarrassed.”
I think Perry’s an old boy from Texas who likes to treat women like ladies. I also tend to see him as one of those wild and wooly Southern types that has a soft spot for the ladies and makes sure to back off from attacking them head on if possible.
This is a stereotype, of course, but I see him as willing to avoid a shrill Northern woman if at all possible. Tonight, at times, Bachmann sounded shrill—and I like her. The shrill part needs to go, as she gets to sounding like she’s wired too tight.
Forgive me gang...but I am sick and tired of Conservatives kicking the shit out of COnservatives when the ENEMY (ansd YES, I mean ENEMY) is Obammy and his gaggle of idiots.....
Concentrate on the ENEMY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
She wasn’t shrill. She was tough. All you guys go to the shrill word when you don’t like the message. And Perry fumbled around and seemed confused (and frankly, stunned) by her denunciation of his executive order.
And not every Southern male is Ashley Wilkes. I’ve learned that lesson well enough here on FR.
