A Real Bitch-Hunt

Hillary Clinton's run has made it open season on powerful women.

John McCain stood up to his North Vietnamese interrogators, but he caved last month when an elderly supporter asked, "How do we beat the bitch?" Rather than refuse to answer the query (or point out that she wouldn't ask "How do we beat the prick?"), he called it an "excellent question" — and ever since, this country has been on a bitch-hunt.

A few days ago, I was on Peter Boyles's radio show, discussing a transgression that crosses party lines — the accessing of confidential federal files by Democrats as well as Republican operatives — and midway through the conversation, Boyles got an e-mail: "Get the queen bitch off the air."

If you can stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

When it comes to powerful women who bring out the B-word, I'm not even a lady-in-waiting, much less a princess, much less the queen who's really inspired the resurgence of bitching. But even Hillary Clinton does not rank in the Top Ten Queen Bitches of History. Here, in ascending order, is our list:

10) Tipper Gore

9) Martha Stewart

8) Barbara Bush

7) Charles Nelson Reilly

6) Carrie Nation

5) Cleopatra

4) Margaret Thatcher

3) Mother Jones

2) Nancy "Mother" Reagan

1) Mother Nature

    Alright, I admit it. I'm a woman-hating homosexual. It all started when I was a toddler. My mother was a $5 whore, and I hated her for it. Now I'm a little bitch, and the only way I can make myself feel better is to insult women. There, I've said it. Are you happy now, you asshole? I'm gonna go masturbate now.

    snore..ste..snore...

    Oh,and one more thing. Actually, two more things. First, isn't it ironic that the above discussion took us right back to the primary point of Patty Calhoun's story?:the underlying truth of what some men refer to women as.In Jones' case it is clearly "bitches." Secondly, as the general public yawns and snores as indicated by a writer a few lines up, please,please let me know when you're inevitably awakened by your nightmares so I can laugh like hell right in your silly,apathetic,hypocritical face.Thanks. Steve Horner

    Yes, and that's exactly what the general public is doing: sleeping.Good luck. You'll need it. Steve Horner

    Steve Hor..yawn snore.

  • steve horner 12/11/2007 6:45:00 PM

    "Bitches?" Wow.I guess we know Jones' true sentiments toward women.And that's exactly what the issue of ladies'night does: spotlight the hypocrisy of liberal meanies and stupes. As I've said all along in this issue "Give 'em enough rope and let 'em hang themselves." Have fun choking,chump.

  • Jones 12/10/2007 8:01:00 PM

    Sorry to hear about your failure to sustain a long-term, monogamous relationship with a woman. It's not because you're a prick -- it's because of the bitches, right?

    First off,I've probably been with more different women than the age of all your family and extended family members combined and all of them were loving,judicious women who didn't base their attractiion toward me on my politics.In fact, many of them were attracted by my willingness to stand up for the things I believe in;no doubt a rarity in your miserable,low-life life. However, that's not the point of the issue. The point is,Jones, that while I am man enough to speak up about hypocrisy,you find a need to suck up to idiot policies so that you can get laid now and then.Now, that really defines a miserable,low-life existence.But, take comfort in that you have millions of miserable lowlifers out there joining you.Good luck.I'm sure you'll need it.Steve Horner

    Steve Horner. (snore)

  • Jones 12/07/2007 7:23:00 PM

    You have your misogyny to keep you warm on cold nights. I have pussy and whippin'. I wouldn't trade you, pal. Cheers.

    C.S. Lewis once said "As the world rushes toward the edge of the cliff wearing blindfolds,it's the one running in the opposite direction who is often marked as a lunatic." What that should mean to pussy-whipped dudes like "Jones" is that idiot policies should not be a gender issue but,rather,a policy issue.It's just that with fools like Jones,whose numbers are growing every day,they've become chicken-hearted to say publicly that a policy is idiocy if it's enacted by a woman. The Joneses of America are pussy-whipped cowards running blindly toward the edge of the cliff, and when they inevitably crash and burn,I'm laughing because I'm "running" in the opposite direction and you've seen and heard the names I get labeled with, least of which is lunatic. Steve Horner

  • Jones 12/06/2007 8:26:00 PM

    Calhoun, you rock. Don't let the pricks get you down.

  • Steve Horner 12/06/2007 7:43:00 PM

    Yes, I can dig it: yawn. And that will be my exact response when I hear about you becoming victimized by hypocritical feminist courts, social services, child custody and support courts.In fact,if you don't mind,I'll add a slight chuckle to my yawn.Frankly, it's my hunch that you've already been screwed over by feminists but you're too damn stupid to know what hit you and that has me chuckling already.Thanks for the day brightener. Steve Horner

  • The Public 12/05/2007 8:25:00 PM

    Steve Horner. (yawn)

  • Steve Horner 12/05/2007 8:02:00 PM

    My standard harpoon for bigmouth, self-serving, dagger-throwing women who refuse to stand up to the challenge of legitimate scrutiny is "If you can't stand the heat,baby, then get the hell back to the kitchen." It seems to get the message across. Steve Horner
