		<description>The New Republic&#039;s Chris Orr says (LINK) that &quot;before the comment, Scarborough had been talking to Tracy Burgess, the WFAN news anchor and, evidently, a bit of a fitness freak. (She apparently also used to appear as a guest on Imus.) Burgess explained that &#039;I am taking vertical pole.... It&#039;s a pole and you exercise on it.&#039; There was a little minimally risque banter on the subject before Scarborough declared, &#039;Housewives across America taking to the pole... for health and fitness. Hey, have you seen Fred Thompson&#039;s wife?... You think she works the pole?&#039;&quot;</description>

...

Theyâ€™re trying to make us dirty and powerless enough to deserve wearing burkas. Weâ€™re to be a non-entity in america. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Isn&#039;t that one of the supposed goals of the &quot;islamofascists?&quot;

Which  begs the question.  Who is it REALLY that &quot;hates our freedoms?&quot;</description>

		<description>I agree with #44.

Also, &quot;&lt;em&gt;working&lt;/em&gt; the pole&quot; is a bit different than &quot;dancing on a pole.&quot;
Hint: pole = penis</description>

		<description>&quot;Puritanical streaks of misogyny-fueled moral hysteria are alive and well when every female sex act is a damn slur and sex is still referred to as filthy, dirty, nasty, etc.&quot;
Comment by Jackson â€” June 4, 2007 @ 10:36 pm


&quot;So now the standard of public discourse is to be a boorish pig? This is the apex of society? I would have thought a dozen years of rule by the Moral Majority would have resulting in something at least slightly higher than Porkyâ€™s.&quot;
Comment by gorn by any other name â€” June 4, 2007 @ 9:18 pm


Yes.

I see a big difference from a decade or so ago, when women enjoyed some measure of respect.   People did not openly, outright degrade women in public.  But it&#039;s come to this.  Slowly.  First we were no longer seen as women in the media - we became girls.  And from girls we became &quot;girls gone wild&quot; party girls.  Then we were seen as whores.  And not even an 80&#039;s era &quot;heart of gold&quot; whore, but a dirty, cheap, stupid whore.  

It&#039;s such an easy jump from dissing rich kids like Paris, opening calling them whores and making jokes about sex acts on late night tv, to ALL women in america being dirty little seducers.  

Joe asking if she works the pole is like asking on air if she swallows.  It&#039;s locker room talk, and when it&#039;s said in the open, it carries a new dangerous message.  The message is that women are to be used, and NO ONE but your own mother needs to be respected.  

I used to think they were trying to turn back the clock to 1950, but it&#039;s not that.  They&#039;re trying to make us dirty and powerless enough to deserve wearing burkas.  We&#039;re to be a non-entity in america.  

This has got to stop.

And I don&#039;t think it&#039;s going to stop until we all hit rock bottom.</description>

		<description>Why is this newsworthy? How many American kids died in Iraqnam today? How much did the federal budget deficit increase today? What is the Bush Administration doing about the increase in crime over the last two years?   Everyone but the Republic Party trolls was upset a week ago when CNN announced it was hiring someone to cover &quot;news&quot; like Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton and Michael Jackson. By putting this garbage about Joe Scarborough on your page, TP is no different than the new segment on CNN.</description>

		<description>Honestly.. you should all withhold judgement until you hear the entire clip.  Scarborough just got done talking to the traffic woman, who was talking about using pole dancing as a work out.. and that &quot;working the pole&quot; is what kept her in such good shape.  Don&#039;t go off the edge until you know the full story.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Anyone else NOT on the â€œIgnore Listâ€ want to comment on Kucinich?

You already responded to me, even though I&#039;m on your idiotic list -- why are you pretending not to have done so?</description>

		<description>Why is it that people are foolish enough to think that bigotry cannot be expressed through sexuality?  If Joe denounced a homosexual or Muslim through religion would people defend his &quot;religious&quot; views?  Of course not.  Jerry Falwell tried that whole, &quot;If you&#039;re against my sermons of intolerance, you must be anti-God&quot; bit.

This is the same song and dance number, but with a woman as target on the basis of gender and hysterical screams of, &quot;You must be anti-sex to question my intolerance!&quot;  Do you honestly think that if people truly embraced sexuality that women would be demonized for it?  Please.  Puritanical streaks of misogyny-fueled moral hysteria are alive and well when every female sex act is a damn slur and sex is still referred to as filthy, dirty, nasty, etc..

Oh, and stop it the whole &quot;PC police&quot; rhetoric.  If anything, it&#039;s quite anti-PC to denounce the intolerance of women in society, especially by men (trust me).</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;If you are not supposed to date (or marry) anyone this young, what is Kucinichâ€™s excuse?
Comment by Jake &lt;/em&gt;

For the record, I amended my statement to include only myself.  

Try to keep up, old man.</description>
