Former Republican Senator from Wyoming Alan Simpson, who this week called Social Security "a milk cow with 310 million tits," is unfit to continue as co-chair of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. If he doesn't have the decency to resign, President Obama should fire him.

TAKE ACTION: Join our "Tits for an Ass" Campaign! For every $5 you send to the National Organization for Women, we'll deliver a baby-bottle nipple to the White House in your honor as we call on President Obama to relieve Simpson of his duties on the commission.

Alan Simpson has made no secret of his hostility toward Social Security. Now he has also come forward with a shockingly demeaning email that suggests the roots of his hostility may lie in sexism and ageism against the women who depend on Social Security to survive.

In a recent e-mail to Ashley Carson, Executive Director of the Older Women's League (OWL), Simpson said: "I've spent many years in public life trying to stabilize while people like you babble into the vapors about 'disgusting attempts at ageism and sexism' and all the rest of that crap." He continued, telling her to "take a look at the chart on Page 6 which I hope you are able to discern if you are any good at reading graphs."

Simpson concluded his sexist rant with the following:

"And yes, I've made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know 'em too. It's the same with any system in America. We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work! Al"

13. You gotta love that slogan

I don't think NOW has ever done anything quite that catchy and clever.

If only they had this sort of creativity forty years ago, the ERA might be a part of the Constitution.

3. k&r

4. so, we want to address the sexist by using T & A as an attack on sexism.

kinda like the young gals that yell at iraq for talking cleavage adn feel the answer is lifting their top to the hooyahs of males entertainment here in the u.s.

[Delphinus]

6. You

*do* have a point.

[seabeyond]

8. thank you. nt

[customerserviceguy]

14. NOW didn't invent the phrase "T & A"

But I don't blame them for taking a positive advantage to using it. It's a bit like gay people taking away the word "queer", isn't it?

[seabeyond]

17. it reduces NOW to the level of the senator. the whole problem is the senator went to the

demeaning of females. that was the purpose of the mans comment, was to demean and degrade female. and this takes it to that level, instead of bring the discourse to a higher more intellectual and mature level.

18. You have a point

but they got to call him an ass. That seems to trump him calling every American a tit, in my opinion.

[seabeyond]

20. lol, they did get to call him an ass. i would have prefered dick. nt

[customerserviceguy]

21. Ok, you have an even better point!

But I'm scratching my head trying to come up with a colloquialism that uses the word dick, or anything that even rhymes with it.

[Lint Head]

5. Tit spelled backward is still tit. Simpson is a tit and a twit.

[corpseratemedia]

7. he is such a stupendous PIG

WE ALL PAY INTO IT PIG

GET RID OF HIM GET HIM OFF THE CATFOOD COMMISSION!!

[Autumn]

11. Get rid of the cat food commission

not just him.

[Echotrail]

9. K&R.

[eShirl]

10. why "for an ass" when they're against him?

[underpants]

12. They should have called it the "Tits up" campaign

as in a dead animal laying on its back- Tits up

[global1]

15. Call The White House And Make More Noise, Don't Let This Die......

this guy needs to resign or be fired from this commission. The White House number is: 1-202-456-1111.

I don't know why in the first place he was picked for this commission by Obama. Unless the fix is in.

Simpson must go. Call the White House and protest.

[Bluebear]

16. White House: "Simpson will continue to serve". They don't care what we think.
