Perino: men know more about war ‘by osmosis.’»

On Fox News Sunday today, White House press secretary Dana Perino was named the “Power Player of the Week.” She explained to host Chris Wallace that, in addition to the pressure to look good, she faces an extra challenge as a woman — understanding military jargon:

Some of the terms I just don’t know, I haven’t grown up knowing. The type of missiles that are out there: patriots and scuds and cruise missiles and tomahawk missiles. And I think that men just by osmosis understand all of these things, and they’re things that I really have to work at — to know the difference between a carrier and a destroyer, and what it means when one of those is being launched to a certain area.

Perhaps this explains Perino’s confusion about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

1. Ahem. A carrier carries and a destroyer destroys.

Now that wasn't so hard, was it, Dana? Oh, it was? :dunce:

[lpbk2713]

4. I'll never send Dana out for a submarine sandwich.

:eyes:

[hootinholler]

13. I thought destroyers were torpedo catchers.

The crews are told they're on an ASW mission.

-Hoot

[Hand]

24. They're called "tin cans", too...

Not sure I'd climb aboard any too willingly. :scared:

[flor de jasmim]

2. Oh, brother! It's about PREPARATION, dearie!

Someone needs to tell her to read up on the Cuban Missile Crisis, learn the jargon--military and otherwise, etc. etc., but I guess it's hard to hold her to a high standard, given her boss.

[opihimoimoi]

5. Just another crony in a long line...oh well...move on....osmosis my ass...

[JerseygirlCT]

26. You'd think you'd just do that stuff if your job required you to

sound even half-way knowledgeable about it, wouldn't you?

Doesn't matter if it's about soybean futures or military issues - if you're going to have to talk about it, you put in the time to understand it.

She's stupid, sexist AND lazy, apparently.

[belpejic]

3. No one claimed she was intelligent

She just looks nice and professional. She's a lock for a commentator position on Faux once the Chimpadministration is excised from the White House.

[Warpy]

6. Well, you can't expect a good little Christian girl

to worry her pretty little head about any of that stuff. History and war stuff is for men, not for morally pure members of the fair sex.

:sarcasm:

[bluerum]

7. OK. So her excuse for being ignorant, is that she was not born knowing these things.

Hey. Welcome to the human race you ignorant RW mouthpiece POS.

[VP505]

10. Ya, she wasn't born knowing these things

and the rest of us were born with a missile ID chart tattooed to our asses. Poor Ms Perino, its just so difficult and nobody told her to educate herself BEFORE she stepped into the public eye so she wouldn't come across as a dumb ass.

[louis-t]

8. Quite the sexist, idn't she?

"Why should I fill my beautiful mind with all o' that Maa-yn stuff?"

[DeeDeeNY]

9. Dana is in luck

Next January when her current job ends, she can enlist and find out about the military first-hand.

:sarcasm:

[ThomWV]

11. She could resign tomorrow and be signed up and on her way by Tuesday

Chief of Staff at the Air Force Academy in no time at all, right out of basic.

[Elidor]

12. Wow, she's even dumber than I thought she was

"All this stuff I don't know about...I have to learn about it. It's hard."

[muntrv]

14. Wanna see Dana's head explode? Tell her ignorance is not a bliss.

:evilgrin:

[muntrv]

15. So using Dana's logic, Skippy the burger flipper at Burger King knows more

than a female Phi Beta Kappa.

[TheWraith]

16. You falsely assume that she was ever "hinged" in the first place. nt

[Fleshdancer]

17. what's a girl to do without a penis to help her understand stuff??

Wow. I knew she was stupid, but I had no idea she was THIS bad. :wow:

[devilgrrl]

18. The penis is how someone stupid as she got to where she is

She's not there because of her brain power.

[NashVegas]

19. Can We Please Be Fair? Guys Like to Blow Things Up

[tachyon]

22. True enough...and most gals like to blow them down.

:evilgrin:

[NashVegas]

23. Now Now

I think you meant to be in the "OMG" thread?

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. 'Why can't those nasty reporters ask me how to make a blueberry pie?

Or how I get my kitchen floor shiny clean?"

[TahitiNut]

21. Typical Repuke ... Her LACK of qualification is due to her sex? Bullshit.

She's an intellectually lazy toady to the Epitome of Intellectual Sloth.

[JerseygirlCT]

25. She's such an idiot!

It surprises me every time. Really, can anyone be that stupid?
