Frank's Favorite Woman Featured at NewsBusters (NOT Hillary)

[franksolich]

Ooops.

Gave a clue; the primitives can figure out who she was now.

[franksolich]

[franksolich]

[franksolich]

[franksolich]

Well, that's all I'm gonna do.

The primitives don't know nearly all of these.

And the women's-libbers have no idea, no idea at all, what all these remarkable women did, for both women and all of humanity in general.

[JohnnyReb]

I don't know but I've been told that one VIAGRA pill is $20 bucks....so why not a picture of a stiff one on the bill instead of all those deflating broads.

[franksolich]

Now, we all know looks don't count, and this one while having contributed a great deal for the good of mankind, didn't contribute quite as much as some other women here.

But this is what I call the height of aesthetics, the way she's oozing grace and class and elegance out of every pore.

[JohnnyReb]

Frank, I'm sure glad you know all these women because I sure don't. How about a little later go back and drop a few names.

Well, which ones do you wanna know?

Just "quote" the comment and I'll reply.

I'm sure you'll recognize the southern women, though.

Her politics were never franksolich's politics, but she's admirable anyway, definitely not an affirmative-action politician; she grew up knowing what it's like, being of African derivation in America.

You know, even though Shirley Chisholm's politics sucked rotten eggs and her persecution of Richard Nixon verged on the irrational, I always thought she was probably a nice person to know.....as a person.

She was first elected to the House sometime when Nixon was president, and franksolich was still a kid, although a literate one by then.

The Democrat leadership in the House named her to the Agriculture Committee, at which she balked, pointing out that she was from innermost New York City, and knew nothing about farming.

The plantation owners then transferred her to the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, and she was happy with that.

From 1500 miles away, out in the Sandhills of Nebraska, a boy then wrote her a letter.  Okay, so she didn't want to be on the agricultural committee because she wasn't a farmer, but how come she was willing to be on the veterans' committee even though she wasn't a veteran?

Not being able to help myself, I was impeccably polite in writing her, acknowledging that I wasn't a constituent of hers, but I'd really like an answer.

Now, one can usually discern if a congressional response is written (or more usually, dictated) by the representative, or if it was simply an aide's response; the tone's different, and noticeable. 

The letter I got back from Shirley had obviously been dictated by her, personally.

She pointed out that, true, she wasn't a veteran, but she had lots and lots of veterans as constituents, while she didn't know of any constituents who were farmers.

Okay, reasonable.

Then she assured me I was a nice kid, probably one of the nicest kids one could ever hope to meet.

That's something for the primitives on Skins's island to keep in mind, especially MrsCorpio and the bravenak primitive.

<<<was called a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one could ever hope to meet, by Shirley Chisholm (D-New York).

Margaret Tutweiler was spokeswoman for the State Department during the War for the Liberation of Kuwait, 1990-1991.

I was manager of a privately-owned student union at the time, and while there were televisions all over the place, being deaf, I never paid attention to them.

That is, unless she was on the screen, at which I dropped everything and gazed in open-mouthed wonderment at her.

I had no idea what she was saying, but her body language betrayed that she was saying it straightforwardly honestly, and with authority.

This was a woman people needed to listen to.

Don't quote me on this--I usually don't nadin such things, instead just yanking them out of the memory (and sometimes the memory's wrong)--but I believe when the second George Bush was in office, she was U.S. ambassadress to Germany.

[franksolich]

Oh my.

And yet another Democrat woman who did much for humanity:

History lesson for the lurking primitives and history-challenged bra-burners:

Rebecca Felton was the first femme, ever, to serve as a U.S. Senator, back in 1922.

The first woman senator.

And she represented.....the "redneck" "NASCAR-loving," "reactionary," Confederate.....Georgia.

[franksolich]

Damn.

Of course the women's-libbers overlooked Republican women, but one's stunned at how many Democrat women they omitted, who were a gift to humanity.

Harriet "Hattie" Caraway, U.S. Senator from "redneck" "hillbilly" Arkansas.

I'm just going from memory, but I think she started in 1931.  I know she ended in 1943, having been beaten in the Democrat primary of 1942 by later-Senator John McClellan.

It's truly remarkable, how many women U.S. Senators first came from the "backward" "sexist" areas of the country.  Nebraska, for another example, was the first state to have women as both U.S. Senators.

[Mr Mannn]

I read the title...my first thought was Bainsbane at Newsbusters?

[franksolich]

Well, she is here.....somewhere.

[Chris_]

Well, she is here.....somewhere.

Her enormous, over-educated, misandric breasts are everywhere.  One can not escape them.

Woody Allen made a movie about one of them.

[franksolich]

To be non-partisan, here's a Democrat woman who made the world a better place:

Nellie Tayloe Ross, the first woman ever elected governor, in "cowboy" "sexist" Wyoming, back during the 1920s.

She was a Democrat, but since it was cowboys who voted for her, it's reasonable to assume she was all right.

Woody Allen made a movie about one of them.

I hate Woody Allen.

[franksolich]

Elsa Maxwell, who needs no other identification.

[franksolich]

I'm thinking of all sorts of women who aren't on that list, who made this world a better place.

Eva Bowring, U.S. Senator (R) from Nebraska, the early 1950s.

She was dutch508's neighbor (really), and probably dutch508 as a little lad dined at her house from time to time.

[franksolich]

Hazel Abel, U.S. Senator (R) from Nebraska at the same time as Eva Bowring above.

[franksolich]

Mari Sandoz, the best writer Nebraska ever produced.

She would've been a neighbor of dutch508's too, if dutch508 had been born circa 60 years earlier.

That would make him 120.
