GOP Catfight Brewing In TX: Palin v. Hutchinson

[Stingo]

Is there a cat fight brewing between two of the most prominent Republican women in the country, Kay Bailey Hitchinson and Sarah Palin? If so, Palin has scratched first, endorsing Rick Perry for Texas Governor over Hutchinson. This could be a very interesting race that pits GOP Christian conservatives against old guard Republicans.

1. It will ONLY get lots of national press if it's framed as a "Catfight". .

otherwise...

3. I frame it that way

And I would love to watch. It'll be like watching a GOP train wreck.

11. Quick question.

If it were Schwarzenegger vs. Steele, would it be a "catfight"?

Or is it just sexier and more gratifying when it's two women and we get to use a term that's almost certainly sexist in connotation?

(A case of "bad when they do it, good when we do it"?)

Let's not just look at women as pussycats, ok? Or, if we need to have some put-down, find another.

12. Not sure

15. Oh jeez!!

If between the Governator and the Token then go ahead and call it a dogfight if it makes you happy. Or be creative and come up with your own sexist term for 2 guys duking it out. What's good for the gander is certainly good for the goose. Lighten up. Always gonna be someone offended on these boards!!

16. Offense is sometimes too easy

It blocks some people from searching for meaning.

4. Could be a harbinger of the future for the gop.

[Stingo]

6. We're hoping it is a harbinger

of some destructive fights in the GOP between the extremist Christian conservatives and the old guard. That will get more to switch to the Dems.

5. Hutchinson will make her look like a monkey.

9. You say this

like it is a bad thing.

7. Uh, this ain't politically correct: wimmins oughta be able to engage in political

fisticuffs without the catfightin stereotypin

I ain't got nary a nevermind for either Hutchinson nor Palin, but it ain't got nuthin to do with any "cattiness" -- I just ain't like neither thems empty-head Republicker policies

Golfargit! We oughta had some wimmins runnin that big white house place by nows -- and reason we ain't, is cuz that wimmins ain't took serious by some folk

I thinks I gonna root like it are a real fight: Bust her nose, Kay! Knock out summa her tooths, Sarree! Break her arm, Kay! Kick her knee-cap, Sarree

[Stingo]

8. I apologize

for going for the cheap headline.

[HillWilliam]

10. Why? They didn't give cheap hair, wardrobe, and tactics a miss.

I'll have my saucer of milk straight-up, now, please :rofl:

13. It's DALLAS, it's

DYNASTY (yeah, I know that's Denver). Everyone winds up in the pool!!!
There is an article in the latest Texas Monthly re KBH vs Goodhair. Haven't had time to read it yet.

[Stingo]

14. You will have to do so

and write up the notes on the article for us. I'm sure that one isn't going to be online, after all.

[Don Davis]

18. I'd much prefer ...

I'd much prefer Elaine Benes and Raquel Welch.

[Stingo]

19. Well,

who wouldn't?
