Hillary's 'testicular fortitude'Posted: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 5:52 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli
PORTAGE, Ind. -- The Clinton camp has worked hard of late to portray Hillary Clinton as the fighter in the race, someone with the determination to see her plans through no matter what the obstacles. Yesterday in North Carolina, Gov. Mike Easley (D) raised some eyebrows when he said Clinton was so determined she made “Rocky Balboa look like a pansy.”

Well this afternoon, a local labor leader introducing Clinton pushed the envelope further, saying the nation needed a leader “that has testicular fortitude.”

While defending Bill Clinton’s role in the passage of NAFTA, Paul Gipson, president of a steelworkers local, said that union members need to look forward, and support a leader who can work to amend and improve provisions in the trade agreement.

“I truly believe that that’s going to take an individual that has testicular fortitude,” he said. “That’s exactly right. That’s what we gotta have.”

Clinton, standing behind Gipson, smiled sheepishly before breaking into a nervous laugh. Gipson continued by slamming unnamed “Gucci-wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered, egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle,” before endorsing and introducing Clinton.

The New York senator, after some introductory remarks, then had some fun with Gipson’s remarks. “I must say, Paul, I appreciate that endorsement. It means a lot to me,” she said. “I do think I have fortitude. Women can have it as well as men.”

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. The thing is she just bought a vanilla latte coming to the event

at the gas station photo op aka “Gucci-wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered, egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle,”


The video of her trying to figure out the coffee machine at the gas
station is in DU video section.

31. more like the brawler in the race - "watch out..

she's got a beer bottle!"
"Now she's swingin her lunch bucket"

[roguevalley]

32. between this and pansy, she is beyond hope. she denies nothing

including the robocalls. she is no one I can recognize.

[mcctatas]

6. What'd I miss?

I've always loved that term, but I used it once (probably more than a year ago) in some silly GD thread and got called a sexist....

:wtf:

[LaurenG]

10. See post #4

Too funny.

[TexasObserver]

8. Yes, Hillary has a pair. They used to be on Bill, but now they're in her pantsuit pocket.

What next? Macho Man as her campaign theme song?

[LaurenG]

9. ...

:spray:

[mcctatas]

11. ....

now you did it, you better :hide: before the hillbots invade and kick your sexist ass;)

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

23. I don't see them

they're all on ignore

bad enough I still have to see Hillary on the news

soon enough, she'll be gone from the TV screen, and not soon enough

[Window]

15. Dear Lord!

:rofl:

[Cali_Democrat]

16. ...

:rofl:

[Window]

12. I literally ROTFLMAO!

This is becoming downright embarrassing. I don't know how much more of this the party can stand. Come on SDSs, do the damned thing.

[anonymous171]

13. She's insecure about her masculinity?

[Window]

14. Time to break out my Hillary nut cracker I received as a gag gift.

:rofl:

[ErinBerin84]

17. interesting...

The supporter also went into a rant about "Gucci wearing, Latte Drinking" etc. Hmm, where have we heard that before? I wonder who they are subtly referring to?
What the fuck is their obsession with Lattes?

[DangerousRhythm]

29. Haha, for real!

Lattes are tasty. What the hell is the problem? :\




:D

[JimGinPA]

18. I Think We Learned The Fallout Of Bill's Indiscretions Today

:rofl:

[malik flavors]

19. It's another attempt to paint Obama as a "pansy." Another sexist comment from a Hillary Supporter.

Not to mention homophobic.

[ErinBerin84]

20. Yes, sexism is completely acceptable in the Clinton campaign,

as long as it is used to emasculate Barack Obama. I half expect one of her surrogates to just say "He's a GIRLY MAN!"

[TexasObserver]

24. True. Both those guys would wet their pants if they had to get on an elevator alone with Barack.

Old white men talking shit because they know they never have to back it up.

[crimsonblue]

25. That's funny because she has a penis.

:sarcasm:

[rurallib]

26. RW will now probably be calling her Hillary Testicular Clinton

[npincus]

27. why not "fallopian fortitude'?

[pinkpops]

30. Much better

[vixengrl]

28. "Intestinal fortitude" would have been a way better phrase--

it's gender-neutral; everybody has intestines, and it's a good metaphor for someone who, right down deep in their "guts", has what it takes. I remember hearing Jesse Ventura use the phrase as a wrestling commentator, and always liked it.
