“Shut up, Bitch”

Right back atcha, Jim.

On the December 3 broadcast of The War Room, co-host Rose Tennent read from an article about Deborah Lawrence, an artist who submitted an ornament for the White House Christmas tree celebrating, among other things, Rep. Jim McDermott’s (D-WA) support for a resolution to impeach President Bush. Tennent read a quote from the article in which Lawrence said of the attention surrounding her ornament: “It took on a life of its own, obviously. In a way, I’m speechless.” Tennent responded: “Good, stay that way. Don’t talk,” to which co-host Jim Quinn added, “That’s right, don’t talk. Shut up, bitch.”

I’m sure it will shock all of you to hear that Mr. Quinn has some ongoing issues with the ladies:

Media Matters for America has documented that Quinn previously introduced a segment on Sen. Hillary Clinton by playing Elton John’s “The Bitch is Back.” Additionally, on October 7, Quinn asserted that Rep. Nancy Pelosi, whom he referred to as “the Queen Bee,” “hated” Clinton “because she didn’t want Hillary to be the most important woman in Washington,” adding, “I’m sorry, but it seems to be the nature — I shouldn’t say the nature of all women — but it seems to be a trait that flows through, for whatever reasons, the gender, if you will.” Quinn has also stated that to feminists, even “a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarian weightlifter in drag” can be a “real woman,” and has repeatedly referred to the National Organization for Women as “the national organization for whores.”

  1. You know what, Mr. Quinn, you shut the fuck up, you dickless wonder. For the record, if you have the nicely symmetric XX, you are a real woman. end of story. (or if you really want the xx enough to change your whole life for it, not to leave my transgendered sisters out.)

  2. Fortunately, this worthless piece of shit is old and he’ll die soon. Not soon enough, but it’ll happen. S’matter there, Quinn, little male penile insecurity going on there? Don’t worry, no woman worth her salt would want anything to do with your needle-dick anyway. Shut up and die already.

  3. I enjoy the irony in the countering of Jim Quinn’s misogynist remarks with commenter’s questions concerning his penis size or utter lack thereof.

    Classy gets as classy deserves, I suppose.

    For what it’s worth, Jim Quinn’s comments are certainly lamer than Deborah Lawrence’s ornament, which at least counts for political speech rather than tired, unoriginal characterizations of teh womenz.

    Still though. Dick size? Really? Come on, there was a whole thread on this very site involving creative swearing. I demand better from the readers here.

  4. Thanks for summarizing what these … I don’t even know what to call them … are saying, because I certainly wouldn’t have the stomach to.

    The saddest thing about these commentators is that they always associate strong women they don’t like to nasty sexual stereotypes. One would think they had a more creative and intelligent way of expressing themselves. But, maybe because they express themselves on such a banal way, they have shows and appeal to those with the same misogynist and banal tendencies.

  5. I agree with Nicholas.

    Quinn claimed that “real women” are those who display his favourite physical stereotypes of femininity, and any woman who is not slim and motherly is somehow inadequate. This is naturally and obviously offensive.

    And somehow it’s okay for us to respond with remarks about how any man with a small penis is inadequate.

    Hypocrisy? Anyone?
