Nice Work If You Can Get It
Topic: politics
Apparently, being a teacher, librarian, and mother aren't "real jobs", you know, like fucking a senator:
"Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job -- I mean, since she's been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things."

Heinz Kerry said she sees her age as a benefit -- she is 66 and Bush 57. "I'm older, and my validation of what I do is a little bit bigger -- because I'm older, and I've had different experiences. And it's not a criticism of her. It's just, you know, what life is about," she said.

Class all the way - this must of that opinionation we heard so much about at the convention:
And my only hope is that, one day soon, women -- who have all earned their right to their opinions -- instead of being called opinionated, will be called smart and well-informed, just like men.
Teresa has certainly earned the right to be called an asshole, just like a man. Is there anyone in America who wants to hear this useless old bag talking to us about "validation" for the next four years?

Lileks on Teresa and "validation":


Never mind that the only legitimate use for the term ?validation? is in a conversation with your waiter about the ticket from the parking ramp.

I tend to agree. No slight against teachers, but what other job do you get a few months off each year.

All those degrees that teachers have a garbage too.

Librarians are more of real jobs, but not if you are just some local gov't peon.
