Lanny Davis Angered By 'Other Women' Obama VP Talk

[RamboLiberal]

ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: A longtime friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton said it's "incomprehensible" that Sen. Barack Obama would choose another woman to be his vice-presidential candidate over Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"The selection of either one of those instead of Sen. Clinton I would find completely incomprehensible," said Lanny Davis of rumored Obama vice-presidential contenders Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Davis is a former special counsel to President Bill Clinton and a longtime friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton's dating back to their time at Yale Law School.

"If anyone thinks that picking a woman will simply placate Hillary Clinton's female supporters, I think that's very patronizing to women and i don't think that that either Gov. Sebelius or Gov. McCaskill would disagree," said Davis, who penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal Thursday titled "Why Obama Should Pick Hillary."

Davis said he hasn't met either Sebelius or McCaskill and said he admires them, but Clinton is more qualified.

I'd like to trade Lanny to the Repukes for a case of beer. What a whiner! Hillary needs to tell him to STFU!

1. well

Lanny also said it would be incomprehensible and offensive to Hillary supporters if Obama chose Richardson as a running mate, and now Richardson is helping Clinton pay off her debt.


The Washington Times/Fox News/WSJ can have Lanny as far as I'm concerned.

2. I doubt this is going to happen for any number of reasons. Lanny D just likes

being in a tizzy and stirring things up. :eyes:

[polichick]

3. Wonder how Lanny gets paid for his constant ass-kissing?!

[themaguffin]

4. i'm angered anytime he opens his dumbass incompetent mouth

fuck him.

[truebrit71]

5. Lanny Davis = Village Idiot

..

[malik flavors]

6. If he picks Sebelious it will be for reasons other than gender, so it's a moot point.

[Mass]

7. Lanny Davis is an idiot, and does not speak for women!!

[WeDidIt]

8. Lanny Davis is a full out Republican. He's no longer a Democrat

I defy anybody to prove me wrong.

[izzybeans]

9. It's patronizing to presume you (lanny d) and your candidate deserve anything.

It's not his choice to make.

[tularetom]

10. What's "Lanny" gonna do about it - stomp his tiny feet?

Clench his tiny fists and hold his breath until he turns blue?

AND WHO EVEN GIVES A FLYIN FUCK?

[skipos]

11. The new glass ceiling is right below Hillary!

No other females need apply.

[Cha]

12. Good...eat shit lanny davis n/t

[Bonobo]

13. So Hill is to be judged on the basis of being a woman after all? Weird. nt

[DevonRex]

14. Obama will pick the best PERSON for the job, regardless of

gender or race or geography or anything else.

[Kber]

15. The idea that there is ONE and ONLY ONE qualified woman

is just another form of sexism, just more subtle and insidious.

Davis can go pound sand, IMO.

[OHdem10]

16. Even discussing Sebelius is insulting. to both Hilary and

Sebelius. It looks like they just want to continue
to slap Hilary. It makes Sebelius appear to be just
a token.

[Connie_Corleone]

17. Oh please. Sebelius has been an avid Obama supporter early on.

She's a very popular governor in a red state. She is progressive and shares Obama's political vision. They get along very well.

Sebelius is hardly a token and it's a slap to ALL women if Hillary is the only woman some of her supporters want to be VP. That's a good way to close that glass ceiling back up.

[polichick]

18. delete

[Growler]

20. Good grief...

:eyes:

[gcomeau]

22. I think I'll just quote myself...

...in the comment I just left at that idiotic story, and let it speak for itself concerning what I think of the nonsense you just posted.

I find it hilarious that Lanny Davis is such a blithering idiot. So... there are over 100 million women in this country and Lanny thinks Hillary is the ONLY ONE Obama is allowed to think is qualified to be his VP? But there are countless qualified men right? It's o.k. to say there are lots of men who would make a good VP but NO WOMEN if they're not Hillary.

And these are the brain dead morons who complained about OTHER people beings sexist during the campaign? It boggles the mind. According to Lanny Davis apparently if you aren't Hillary Clinton then you must have testicles to be a VP pick. The guy is a clown.

...

Actually... no, I won't just let it speak for itself, because I'm getting more pissed off by the second by this bullshit. "It makes Sebelius appear just a token"? The 2 term Democratic governor with 60%+ approval ratings in one of the heaviest Republican states in the entire country, whose name was tossed around as a possible Kerry VP pick four years ago, whose governing style meshes damn near PERFECTLY with Obama's, would appear to be "just a token" pick on a VP ticket with Obama just because she's not the one single woman you want to try to say could ever be considered qualified for the position even though that woman in question has a WEAKER resume than she does? Geez...

[baldguy]

19. I think Lanny Davis should join the Democratic Party

or STFU

[napoleon_in_rags]

21. I would love to see Obama with a woman actually.

I'm getting upset about these arguments about how we need a basically conservative white male VP. Obamas exciting because he's running a different kind of campaign by nature, holding up what we believe in rather than appealling to what they believe in.

[karynnj]

23. That is the most sexist thing I ever heard

I'd give the Republicans a case of beer, if they could take Lanny!

Imagine if Edwards supporters said, if you don't take him, you shouldn't take any Southern or Biden supporters said if you don't take him, you shouldn't take any Catholic or any foreign policy expert. Both men are always described using those qualities.

[BeyondGeography]

24. Lanny obviously misses being at the center of it all like he was during the primary season

[rox63]

25. I thought Lanny Davis took a job with Fox Noise recently

Or was that Wolfson that went to Fox? :shrug:

[trewsx11]

26. Sebelius is a magnificent lady...Hillary PUMAs will be blown away

...by Sebelius' command of the issues and impressive record. She is tested, likeable, experienced, and has nerves of steel.

Sebelius and Bayh are my top choices for Obama's VP, and both can defintely bring some PUMAs back to Obama.

[rucky]

27. I'll ask again. Why should we care what Lanny Davis thinks?

Seems he gets quoted every time he walks out of the shower.

[Whisp]

28. Shut the fuck up, Davy.

says Walter from The Big Lebowski.

[Doctor_J]

29. Lanny works for Fox News

that's all you need to know
