[ConservativeStatement]

BOSTON (CBS) – A Massachusetts lawmaker wants the “General Hooker Entrance” sign removed from the State House because she calls it a double entendre “misrepresented as respect for a long-dead general.”

Michelle DuBois – a state representative from Brockton, West Bridgewater, and East Bridgewater – tweeted a picture of the sign on Wednesday, saying “#MeToo it’s not all about rape & harassment but also women’s dignity

long-dead

hmmm. What qualifies as long-dead that a person’s memorial and place in American heritage should be removed from sight?

Did anyone tell the idiot woman that they named hookers after General Hooker, they didn’t name General Hooker after hookers?

[Still Thinking]

Why? Does she feel that this denigrates her as a specialized hooker?

This reminds me of a time in my high school physics class when the teacher held up two different balls to explain Newton’s law of motion. He started with, “I am holding two balls . . .” The class started snickering. Then it broke out in hilarious laughter. Unleashed was the mind of the immature high school student. This lawmaker reminds me of the immature high school student, which is beneath the dignity of his office. Grow up America!

Well, and since Schwarz means black....he probably had a problem with the first half too (or would have had, if he weren’t too ignorant)

When leaving Pittsburgh Airport you can take the Beaver exit or the Moon exit.

Taint funny.

She certainly is “embarrassingly ignorant” but I will not be surprised if they don’t bow to her wishes and change the name. After all, it’s the capital of liberalism and political correctness.

The MA legislature has long been something of a fraternity environment.

She probably is correct that an “entrance” was chosen to honor “Hooker” as part of a bad joke. (How many “entrances” have you come across named for historical generals?)

And if that is the case, it is not unreasonable for the women in the legislature presently to want it removed.

But according to liberal orthodoxy, prostitution is just another career choice. Wouldn’t want to be slut-shamers, would we?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Just hang a sign that reads: “General Joseph (Fightin’ Joe) Hooker Entrance”.

Those Amish....

[Dixie Yooper]

They renamed ‘Harry Baals Drive’ to ‘H W Baals Drive” because the signs kept getting stolen.

Same town. Many years ago, Concordia Theological Seminary kept losing the first o, from Theological on their entrance sign. There was even a story in the paper about it.

[Dixie Yooper]

They could replace the sign with one that includes the General’s first name between his rank and last name...
