WARNING: UNCENSORED LANGUAGE
What is it with high-placed liberal women and crude talk? First we learn that Obama National Security advisor Susan Rice throws around the charming “motherfucker” in meetings with allies. Then Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) makes a joke about testicles on national TV. Now a senator casually deploys biologically impossible suggestions.
Appearing on HuffPost Live to hawk her new book Sept. 15, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) was discussing sexism she said she’s encountered in her career. After the host of the interview praised her restraint after receiving a particularly egregious comment, Gillibrand explained that her respectable response was only because she “wasn’t in a place to tell him to go fuck himself,” but in a later setting she did “unleash on him.”
Gillibrand has been feted by outlets like CBS “This Morning” and allowed to repeat her claims of sexist comments from unnamed members of congress.“If we had more women in Congress,” she told CBS “we would begin to break this cycle of dysfunction.” Regardless, you’ve come a long way, baby. You can cuss like the big boys.
