Fuck bush. I swear to god if that fucking asshole is elected again...

Fuck Bush and fuck the fucking asshat goons in his shithole administration.

Look, I've been entirely too nice to this psychotic chimp we have lose in the white house and I'm fucking fed up.

How dare you. How fucking dare you try to claim that you gave two shits and a fuck about the women in Iraq when you awarded a major grant to the fucking IWF (which Lynne Cheney is conveniently on the board of) to supposedly improve women's lot in Iraq?!?!?!

The Independant Women's Forum, for those of you lucky enough to not be in the know, is the right wing's answer to the axis of evil known as, um, women. Basically, they sit around and try to talk away any study or report that remotely indicates that there is any gender inequality in America.

Check out their website. No sane person could ever consider these folks to be interested in women's rights. Their articles seem to fit into four catagories:
1. Why we love the GOP
2. Why we hate feminists
3. Never trust a woman who "claims" to be raped or sexually harassed
4. Why men and women are so super different and... did we mention we hate feminists?

For instance, there's a great piece by Wendy McElroy (amazingly also a foxnews empoyee!) that talks about the rape scandals at Colorado University. Apparently all that mumbo jumbo about sex parties and an atmosphere that encourages sexual assault must have just been that liberal spin. What REALLY happened was that the university created an atmosphere that encourages sexual assault allegations! False ones. And the reason given for this? Because one dude who used to work for the university's sexual assault awareness organization claims that they used to use rape statistics that some people (aka the IWF) allege are inaccurate.(http://www.iwf.org/issues/issues_detail.asp?ArticleID=574)
And people buy this?!?

So Bush- How exactly do you expect these women to help rape victims when they won't even believe them? I suppose that the rape statistics in Iraq will magically decline once the IWF is on the case. But not from a decrease in rapes.

In other IWF news, the wage gap in the US apparently is "mythical" (despite that pesky census thing that proves otherwise). Global warming is "pseudo-science" (didn't even the Bush administration recently admit that global warming was real? Someone at the IWF better check their right-wing talking-points memos more often) Oh and sexual harassment in the workplace? That's really just a case of "heterophobia" and "antagonism toward men."

Who needs antagonism toward men when there are women willing to cover up sexism in order to get some brownie points from the fellas?

And in return, those fellas apparently toss them a fucking grant so they can teach women worldwide how to shut up and suck up.
