What? What?

David Neiwert found a column by Mike "Hoo-hoo dilly" Adams, doctor of humor, in which he says that conservative women are better-looking than liberal women. Yes. And not only that:
The public discussion of this issue will help Republicans answer some important questions. For example: "Should we assume that being gay often causes one to be a Democrat? Isn't it more likely that the lack of exposure to attractive women causes Democrats to be gay?" And "Do Democratic women consider compliments in the workplace to be sexual harassment simply because they rarely hear them?"

But, of course, it isn't necessary at this time to explore the many intellectual questions that flow from the observation that our women are more attractive than theirs. Instead, we must immediately begin to exploit the issue for political gain. And the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute is doing just that by publishing a calendar featuring, among others, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and Shemane Nugent.


Now, granted, the most Republican woman I've ever known happens to be a pretty girl with a great rack, but I've always considered that to be a meaningless coincidence. Although, if we're not going to limit ourselves to real Republicans, there's always Ainsley Hayes.

Still, perhaps he's right. Maybe women Democrats are just dogs.

Women like Rosario Dawson and Portia de Rossi.

Yes, I think we all know where they'd end up on a "hot or not" list, especially when compared to the likes of Michelle Malkin. I'm convinced; I'm switching parties.

ETA: And in a related entry, Shakespeare's Sister writes today about a new theory about why Women Aren't Funny. My all-time favorite quote on this subject comes from one of the original woman writers for Saturday Night Live, Anne Beatts:
Men feel threatened by women being funny...because they think the ultimate woman's joke is "How big is it?"


I know I constantly feel threatened by performers like Amber Benson & Alyson Hannigan, Katy Sagall, Susan Sarandon and pretty much any woman working from an Aaron Sorkin script. But it's true, on a personal note, a woman I know with nice comic timing was definitely threatening to me.

So much so, she was only one of the best lovers I ever had.
