New Romney Spokesman Used Twitter For Sexist Attacks (http://thinkprogress.org/special/2012/04/20/468736/richard-grenell-twitter-women/) http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Grinell-e1334947653480.jpg Presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s new foreign policy spokesperson Richard Grenell has an odd (http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/04/new-romney-flacks-old-pastime-ridiculing-the-gingriches-121165.html#.T5GnaNvUikU.twitter) penchant (http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/04/grenells-other-targets-hillary-clinton-south-korea-121168.html) for targeting the wives of male politicians and women in general on Twitter.


Grenell, who served as George W. Bush’s spokesperson at the UN and was announced as the Romney campaign’s new representative yesterday, has gone after Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Callista Gingrich, Sandra Fluke and others. He also asserted that President Obama’s children should be fair game for political debate. A selection of his thoughts on women:

In another comment, that has since been removed (https://twitter.com/#%21/TimFernholz/status/193401119257530370), Grennell discussed the first lady “sweating on the East Room carpet.”


This afternoon, Grennell offered an apology, of sorts, for his attacks, writing, “my tweets were written to be tongue-in-cheek and humorous but I can now see how they can also be hurtful. I didn’t mean them that way and will remove them from twitter. I apologize for any hurt (http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/04/grenell-sorry-for-tongueincheek-tweets-121170.html) they caused.”

It isn't about 'hurting' anyone, moron. It's about letting everyone in the world know what goes through your mind when you see women.

No real surprise here.

Mormon humour?

Although I admit I will laugh out loud when Romney gets his clock cleaned in November.

Dumbest fucking thread of the week.

Don't you fucking dimwits have anything of more substance to bring to the table? Is this the extent of your intellectual capacity?
