Bob Herbert: Dick Armey Owes Joan Walsh and Hardball Viewers an Apology

[hczxp]

Yeah, I don't really see what was sexist about them. They were silly and dismissed the point but he simply said that he wouldn't want to be married to her. He could have said the same thing were she a man. Sexist would have been "shut your mouth because you're a woman." To call it sexist is to project onto the comment and really detract from the real problem: how stupid and idiotic the comment was and how Armey didn't actually discuss the point at hand.

[assais]

Bob for president!! Absolutely love his convictions and columns.

[Badasspatriot]

An apology for what? Telling the truth?!

[Lennon4life1968]

Well said Mr Herbert..Well said.

[gardenvarietypenis]

thanks, bob! just get in line behind the other black politcos...joan will be servicing you shortly

[KOHF34]

Note how Chris doesn't deny it.

[bluehoneycomb]

I agree with Mr. Herbert.

[ciberwarrior]

Isn't he the husband of Vagina Coastgurad..

[MonsterSound]

and they were laughing about this on FOX. Hard to believe.

[KOHF34]

Sounds in character.

[rkcoon]

Wow. THAT was impressive to see, and very classy indeed. too bad there isnt more of that in the American - or Canadian for that matter - fields of politics.

[HowTheWorldWorks]

Booooo hooooooo!!

[moroccanNproud]

The old hag was yammering on... DICK Army got cornered, he got flustered and he wanted to call her a BIATCH... he resorted to what everyone resorts to when they are cornered... the truth. Can any man out there actually say that as she was yelling and screaming that they did not feel sorry for the poor man who has to listen to that harpy bit8h on a daily basis. I am no fan of Dick Army... but that woman got what she deserved. If she cant take it stay home and watch the kids and cook something.

[dearkgar]

She was talking normally and sensibly. She said that the current economy is the fault of bot democrats and republicans... hardly "cornering him". I don't really see how there is a lot of room for debate on this. He was simply rude to her.

His name is spelled Armey.

[sato2097]

idiot...

[dashab]

Why do you hate women?

[bertinotti]

I like Joan. She didn't play victim and stood her ground. Sounds like you do not like intellegent discussion, but more stagey WFW kinds of productions. In any event, Armey failed miserably during his leadership in the house, and clearly isn't one who is emotionally intelligent enough to take reasonable criticism reasonably.

[bon1042]

Well said...

[bon1042]

You need therapy... and a course in Misogyny 101

[wombchakra]

Spoken like a true Taliban, moroccanNproud..keeping your women illiterate won't keep your days from being numbered...the clock is ticking the countdown, tick...tick....tick KA-BOOM

There goes your gene pool, seeya!

[pattykad]

Are you guys able to get this to play?

Nothing happening for me...

[jpickles]

Shows how much Chris is an enabler, and doesn't give crap about abuse to women. Bob deserves kudos for pointing out what Chris as a host should have done.

[toepedi]

Chris mathews treats his wife the same, that's why he didn't do or say anything. Mathews is a 63 year old fart

[dimmiecaddie]

So what does Dick Armey have on Chris that he can't speak to this himself?

Chris is a poof. Poof Poof Poof Byebye!

[billthebutcher2]

There is a class act and a real man. Thank you, Bob Herbert.

[BleuJean]

Mucho credit to Herbert, both for calling out sexism and having the courage to do what Matthews should have done.

[SpanishForkOutcast]

Good for Herbert. A truly classy thing to do.

[snowpants73]

that is so great. kudos to herbert.

[NotADood]

Bob Herbert's the only pundit worth listening to, IMO.

[Superplatanoman]

That's true. Dick is a dick like Calexander mention. lol

[CalexanderJ]

Well said Bob. Dick's a dick.
