Mazr – LOL.

Bill, thanks for posting this. I’ve been out of touch with the sleazy side of the 18th race. I can’t say I’m disappointed.

Mazr, honestly, I don’t have any real extreme feelings for the guy one way or the other. I just don’t like the spin that Billy puts on virtually every piece of news that Callahan is the second coming of Christ. I also think that much of what he says (in regards to the 18th race) is off the wall, and this one takes the cake.

Diane: “Let me get this straight. Ms. Callahan should be insulated from any criticism because she is a wife and mother? What a demeaning statement to women.”

Not what I said. I pointed out it was foolish for Shearer to call a woman “nasty” because she stated that in her opinion, Schock was inconsistent. Think, Diane, of every woman you ever met who would would describe as “nasty.” Do you think Colleen Callahan qualifies?

It was Shearer who’s comment was demeaning.

Let me get this straight. Ms. Callahan should be insulated from any criticism because she is a wife and mother? What a demeaning statement to women. Is this a congressional race or a cook off?

That is about as outrageous as if I suggested that criticising Schock would be in poor taste because he is a well loved son and brother.

Give me a break. I’m going to have to quit responding to these off-the-wall posts. I’m starting to wonder if your just messin with us.
