I did not insult any women. You think I did, but you have not supported your statement.

The use of the term pussy is offensive to many women. How's that?

Yes, but as I'm sure Goose would agree, Bush got to Harvard and Yale based soley because he is a long-term beneficiary of privilege which he did not earn and did not deserve. Specifically, the benefited from his very privileged status, and from his race. Not so with Fenty.

Just can't let it go, can ya? Wow... a sad little life you must lead that even in discussions with someone else you are still demonstrating your obsession with me because of your obvious inferiority.

I'm not obsessed with you, Goose. I just see you as my ally in this particular instance. I thought we had made up. I even considered you my friend. Now my dreams are shattered, as you clearly find me to be obsessive and inferior to you.

And you think my life is sad and little. What if, after Clinton brokered peace between Netanyahu and Arafat, they returned to their respective territories and one called the other names? I mean, really. I had a new-found respect for you -- I reached out to you in an area in which we share common ground -- and you insult me.

I do. I think you are petty and get your rocks off being deliberately antagonistic on an anonymous internet thread. You are overly sensitive and at the smallest slight, you react wildly and become incapable of dealing with rationally. I think if we were to meet face-to-face, you wouldn't say have of what you said here, not because of anything about my presence, but because of the smallness of your own. You treat people who disagree with you like crap because you can't handle the potential that you are wrong. You are incapable of reflection and just charge ahead with your agenda, which is hardly unique and shows very little original thought.

Either that or you're just a raging bitch. Or both.

Wow. This is unfortunate. Under any other circumstance, you would readily agree that George Bush only got into Harvard and Yale as a result of being a long-term beneficiary of unearned privilege that he did not deserve. Fenty, on the other hand, appears to have gotten into Oberlin on the merits. But since you don't like Fenty, and your political views don't serve your poltical predilictions in this particular instance, you call me a raging bitch.

Gosh. I was really starting to like you. I was hoping we could meet for a cocktail. I think you would like me. If you don't, I'll buy. But, seeing that you are sooo committed to judging someone you don't know with such stridency, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. Too bad. I know of a bar that makes the BEST cosmopolitans in town.

I have no doubt that Fenty's success at Oberlin required far more effort and was more well-deserved and earned than Bush's success at Harvard/Yale. I find it interesting that you are suddenly adopting an argument you so vehemently disagreed with because it suits your agenda.

I did not vehemently disagree with it. I agreed that it applies to some Whites, but not each and every White.

No, you really just think it doesn't apply to YOU. Because you are different and special.

I have scoured the internet for any other accounts of the quote, ideally video or audio so tone and such can be more accurately assessed, but none seem to exist. Were there reporters or members of the press there?

Again, I am not calling anyone a liar or doubting anyone's intentions. I just prefer to have info from as close to the source as possible. It is also helpful to have context, since we have already seen different ways in which the quote can be interpreted.

Someone else suggested that someone was a liar. I've already addressed why it is unlikely that you will find a video, audio or textual report of this meeting. So let's not go over it again.

I realize why it was unlikely. But was the press there or not? If they weren't there, then it'd be nearly impossible for further documentation. If they were, it'd be far more likely that it would be reported, unless it struck them as not particularly newsworthy (which may be a fair assessment or a function of their own bias).

I did see a couple of people with large video cameras walking around. I assume they were with the press, though I can't be certain.

I've found very little coverage at all of the straw poll and meeting itself, outside of the results. Is there something else it might be described as that would yield better Google searches?

It also not offensive to a lot of women. How's that?

You know, my inclination to debate you further is already stymied by the fact that your arguments are pedantic and lack substance. This inclination has only been compounded by the fact that you have revealed yourself as the imbecilic "[insert adjective here] much?" poster.
Quite frankly, you've always been annoying, to me, and to others.

Jealous much?
Angry much?

You do it all the time. The same old stuff, recycled over and over. Just like your attempt at argument. You keep saying the same thing, over and over.

You bore me.

No. I think it doesn't apply to me for reasons I have stated in detail in this and another thread. I think it applies to some Whites, but not others. It just depends on a variety of factors. You cannot accurately generalize about "most Whites" anymore than you can accurately generalize about "most Blacks" or most of any other group of people.

You're still missing it and will continue to miss it. Every time you seem to show the slightest hint of possible intelligence, you go and destroy it with more inanity. I'm sorry that your worldview is so narrow that you are incapable of understanding an experience outside of your own. That's tough.

[Anonymous]

You bore me.

You'll forgive my saying, but this seems not to be the case.

[Anonymous]

Believe me, it is.

Bored much.

Damn. It looks like that drink is off.

Thank you, thank you. I'm no fan of Vincent Gray, but estimating someone's fitness for office based on where they went to school is elitist and shallow.

This has already been discussed and rebutted. You came in too late and posted too soon. If you want to play, keep up with the plot.

I just had occasion to talk to someone I see at work on an infrequent basis. I asked him what he thought of the mayoral race. He said that it would be close. I asked him which way he would like it to go. And he said that Fenty seemed more geared to the upper class. Then he said that he hadn't done much for the city. Then he said that he had done some good things for the city. I just kept listening and did not interrupt. Then he said, "But there's something about that Gray guy that I just don't like. Can't quite put my finger on it."

I asked him if he was going to vote for Fenty, and he said that he might. I asked him if he might stay home, and he said that he might.

We chatted awhile longer, and I flirted with him a lot. When I left his office, I told him to be sure to get to the polls on September 14th. He laughed and said, "You know what? For you, I will."

Count one more vote for Ward 7. I need to get out and flirt with some more men.

That's much better than the foot race suggested earlier: a flirt race!

Seriously, I'm good at it. He was putty in my hand. I promised to volunteer for the Fenty team, and I intend to pull out all the stops.

ALL the stops?
