The view from Canuckia

It was the women who put Trudeau in power, and kept him there: the women’s vote in English Canada, plus the Liberal fiefdom in Quebec. It is the ditzier range of women in the borderline Red States that could elect President Obama: lonely women, and to some extent, their weak, “sensitive” men. What is ditz? Canuck for Paris Hilton??

I do love misogyny in politics. Sadly his line It is in this sense that a vote for Obama is a vote for Osama. isn't what people chant at Obama rallies.

Bill Clinton: Obama's White Half Won Maine
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2008-02-10) — Former President Bill Clinton today downplayed the significance of his wife’s losses in Maine, Nebraska and Washington over the weekend, noting that just as being half-black helped Sen. Barack Obama win in the south, “his white half gives him the edge in primarily Anglo-American states.”

“Obama gets to play both sides of the race card,” said Mr. Clinton, “I told you he won South Carolina because he’s black, like Jesse Jackson. So, to be consistent, I’d have to say he won Maine because he’s white like Michael Dukakis.”

The former president acknowledged that his reasoning “doesn’t make sense at first, but if you think about how hard it is for me to avoid saying Hillary lost because Democrats don’t like her, then I think you’ll agree it’s the only prudent thing I can say.”

Ditz,you putzes, is personified in "I Love Lucy". Even a schlemiel would know that.

You mean, ditz is to putz what yin is to yang (or vice-versa)?
