Ashleigh Banfield, Feminist Icon: "Couldn't DC Sniper Be A Woman?"

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Ashleigh Banfield, PC-feminist, avidly advanced the notion last night on her MSNBC show that the DC-area sniper could be a woman.

Ashleigh was interviewing a former FBI profiler, Greg McCrary. As an aside, I found McCrary to be the most informative and articulate of the TV experts I've seen to date on this issue.

In any case, Ashleigh, proudly dedicated to promoting a woman's right to choose any profession, even that of serial murderer, said a couple things that would be funny were it not for the tragic context.

First, in hypothesizing about the perpetrator, she referred to "the guy." Then, catching herself in what was, to her way of thinking, a horrible gaffe and affront to hard-working women mass murderers everywhere, Ashleigh added "or girl." That's right: "girl"!!

Later, once again seeking to break through that nasty glass ceiling that for so long has kept promising women serial killers down, she asked the profiler: "we know a .223 weapon has been used. Could this be a woman shooter?"

McCrary managed, barely, to keep a straight face. "Well, the odds say it's a man. But we can't exclude anyone." Sure.

I'm expecting Ashleig to profile Annie Oakley on tomorrow night's show.

Someone please smack her...

It really was priceless stuff. Ashleigh is the perfect face of clueless, witless, knee-jerk PC-think.

Of course there is THAT picture of Ann Coulter.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

LOL. But I can give an iron-clad alibi for Ann. She was with me at all relevant times!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Be on the lookout for:

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I believe this is what you were referring to. Still, I'm confident we can safely exclude Ann as a suspect. She only goes after varmints.

Fred Francis, an NBC reporter, just got himself into trouble with Ashleigh. Giving a report on the Today Show, Francis stated: "authorities have now described this man as a serial killer."

Message from Ashleigh: "How sexist, Fred. Just like Augusta National, the doors of the exclusive serial killer club must be beaten down and opened to qualified women!"

I saw a comment in a USA Today article yesterday that was a bit odd...

It said that the shooter was most likely male because the shooter was obviously a "Sharpshooter" and women don't tend to be sharpshooters.

[SunnyUsa]

women don't tend to be sharpshooters.

sexist pigs!!!

Imagine the insult, NOW cow's want equal rights as serial killers too, the glass ceiling must be broken!

lol, I'm pretty sure Banfield would defend such remarks as "keeping an open mind." Too bad it seems empty already.

[Semper Paratus]

Talibanfield sounds like Minetta's perfect candidate for an airport screener.

[Aquinasfan]

LOL! When is she going to lose the rectangle glasses? I've often wondered what style of frame she would choose next...

[bvw]

FYI -- a woman sniper.

[Consort]

We need to account for Janet Reno's whereabouts during those sniper shootings. This could be her revenge after losing in Florida. And we know she hates kids; just ask Elián González.

[youaculpa]

Someone should report that it could be a sniper-ette on the loose. Wonder what she'd say then. ;)

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Ashleigh's next look in eyewear: sharpshooter glasses!

[Alouette]

I'm pretty sure Banfield would defend such remarks as "keeping an open mind."

Try suggesting that the shooter could be a Muslim.

[Aquinasfan]

LOL!

I wonder if the Oregon arrests where Chief Moose worked under Vera Katz (one of the arrested worked for Katz)
have a cell playing payback in Chief Mooses' area.
