They were engaged in a pleasurable activity the flow of which was put on hold by a misstep.<br /><br />I'd like to disabuse with this notion that her word choice was well-considered, even though she had plenty of time to prepare her response. I suspect, unproveably,that she had the word "eructation" (eructitis?), or burp, in the back of her mind but she prized the mangled pun over clarity.

Oh goodness no! Look at the photos and videos of her in the latter part of her service (?) as Secretary of State, and you'll see what she looked like when she looked her age. She's OLD! Her husband is OLD! Her daughter is MIDDLE-AGED! When Reagan was elected president, he was OLD! When Ike was elected President, he was OLD! Fine, vote for the old candidate, but don't pretend that the old crone with the fresh make-up and plastic surgery "looks her age".The Godfatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575359417766667457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-11145072017512289342016-02-08T15:35:28.128-06:002016-02-08T15:35:28.128-06:00The Althouse interpretation mixes the gender roles...The Althouse interpretation mixes the gender roles and brings the audience into the orgy. The straight interpretation is that Bill Maher pulled out of the topic before Gloria Steinhem got to her orgasmic explanation of why young women who are supporting Bernie should instead vote for Hillary. The moment is gone, and now she can't get it back.<br /><br />"And when you're young, you're thinking, 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie." That was just the foreplay.<br /><br />And why did Bill Maher pull out? If he's a Bernie Sanders supporter, and it seems almost certain that he is, he got what he wanted out of Gloria Steinhem, and having got what he wanted, her reaching full orgasm was of no more concern to him.Left Bank of the Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494310302328322830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-55214665075364239692016-02-08T15:19:58.945-06:002016-02-08T15:19:58.945-06:00Islamic Feminist:

This is not prescribed by Islam at all. Islam says that a woman is either a wife or a slave girl. Legitimately owned slaves come from among prisoners from a war.</i>tim in vermonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547980465313241972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48062779619625505802016-02-08T15:10:57.396-06:002016-02-08T15:10:57.396-06:00Althouse, why do they call you Butter?

People think that she's more in touch with the zeitgeist than you can reasonably expect an 81 year old woman to be. Allowance should be made for her age. Hillary, by way of contrast, looks her age. She's allowed to ramble on and say foolish things because that's what happens when you get old.......I'm not being ageist here. I myself am a septugenerian, but I look far younger.

People assumed it was his youth but maybe it was his message. Bernie has a message. In 2008 and now, Hillary doesn't have a message. I get why Bernie is running for President and Trump and Rubio and Cruz. Romney had this problem as well. Why are you running, Hillary?
