The Ex-Mrs. George Lakoff (Rhymes With): Clinton Emailgate Is an Attack on All Women
RUSH: Do you remember George Lakoff (rhymes with)? His divorced wife, a 74-year-old woman named Robin has a piece in TIME Magazine: "Hillary Clinton's Emailgate Is an Attack on All Women," and I get blamed in this. I'm gonna share this with you exin half hour. It's a riot. It's hilarious, and I think it shows the depths to which they've sunk to try to explain things.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I mentioned Robin Lakoff, the divorced wife of George Lakoff (rhymes with), who was a linguistics specialist for the Democrats, gave them the words they should use. This babe has weighed in an article in TIME magazine on how Hillary ought to go about dealing with her opposition. She's a professor of linguistics at California Berkeley, the author of Language and Woman's Place. And she said: "It's not about emails; it's about public communication by a woman."
originalWrites Lakoff (rhymes with): "I am mad. I am mad because I am scared. And if you are a woman, you should be, too. Emailgate is a bitch hunt, but the target is not Hillary Clinton. It’s us. The only reason the whole email flap has legs is because the candidate is female. Can you imagine this happening to a man? Clinton is guilty of SWF (Speaking While Female), and emailgate is just a reminder to us all that she has no business doing what she’s doing and must be punished, for the sake of all decent women everywhere. There is so much of that going around.
"The people are demanding Clinton act like moral exemplars, thundering from the pulpit like Jonathan Edwards or Cotton Mather. But Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and their many conservative friends are not remotely Clinton’s moral superiors. They are simply bullies, using gender discrimination to give a veneer of plausibility to their accusations."
So we oppose Hillary 'cause she's out of place. She's a woman and she needs to be in the kitchen and barefoot and pregnant -- envision that if you can -- that's what this woman says. She's a loon. She's 74 years old. She's George Lakoff's divorced wife, and she's obviously touched. That Hillary is in trouble because she speaks bitch. (interruption) Speaks bitch? Well, what that means is that misogynists don't like a woman who speaks her mind, a nag, and that's what Hillary is, and she's a gotta be shut up for that reason. It's totally sexism.
Hillary's not in trouble for anything she did breaking the law, emails or whatever. It's a bunch of bullies who don't want Hillary to have power because she's a woman. That's what this babe thinks and she's advising the Hillary campaign on how to deal with this. I hope they listen to her.
