I’m Talented, I’m Republican, and I Won the Swimsuit Contest, too

I’m almost without words for this feature. Judging from the comments posted with each picture, am I to gather that not only do these women enjoy being reduced to male fantasies, but they enjoy the money that comes with it, too?

I think back to the cruelties which the Republicans inflicted on Hillary and Chelsea, not to mention Barbara Steisand and various other Democratic women. Reasonably good women were made out to be ugly, their noses twisted, their eyes askew, their breasts either too small or too large. Republican style women’s liberation seems to be based on ideology: if you agree with us, we will say that you’re beautiful.

How sad that they make the price of a woman’s activism contempt for her looks and for her intelligence if she doesn’t toe the party line.

Witness the price being paid by Huntington Beach City Councilwoman Debbie Cook, too.
