Bush WH Communications Director: Don’t Talk About Rape, or I’ll ‘Cut Out’ Your Tongue
12th November 2012
Two days ago, Karen Hughes, communications director for the Bush White House, announced, “If any Republican man makes a comment about rape other than it’s a heinous act, I’ll personally cut out his tongue.” Her comment was made, of course, in the aftermath of the disastrous 2012 election cycle, in which failed Republican Senate candidates Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock made controversial comments about abortions in the aftermath of rape.
Now that’s the kind of leadership that has been sorely lacking in the GOP since Teddy Roosevelt.

So she doesn’t mind rape, she just doesn’t want people talking about it? Or what?

Hughes is one sharp lady. Bush floundered when she went back to Texas to raise her family.

And then Bush had to go back to Texas, too. Poor man.

You can say many things about Bush (and who hasn’t?) but ‘poor man’ isn’t one of them.
