Kaine Says “Countries Less Wealthy Than U.S. Elect More Women To Higher Office” – There’s the source of their economic problems, right there

My joke is a bit of a ripoff. It’s a take-off on one of the funniest comments I ever read on iOTWreport.

It was by MJA and it was a story about these progressive anthropologists marveling over a pygmy tribe that they discovered where the men actually allow the young to nurse on them as a “way of bonding,” something the anthropologists said, ” we could all learn from them.”

In response MJA said, “that’s why they’re pygmies.”

Still cracks me up.

Now the new Joe Biden says something that he thinks is something that should make us feel shame; poorer, less industrialized countries elect more women to higher office than the U.S.

Sounds more like Kaine has discovered the reason they are poor.

Washington Examiner:

The Virginia senator claimed smaller, less wealthy countries actually put the United States to shame when it comes to electing women to higher office.

“Hold on for this, folks. Nineteen percent ranks the United States 75th in the world, below the global average,” he said.

“Iraq is 26 percent. Afghanistan is 28 percent. Number one [is] Rwanda. Sixty-four percent. So for reasons, some of which I understand, some of which I don’t, we have made it hard. We have made it hard for women to be elected to the highest positions in our federal legislature and as president,” he added.

However, with the nomination of Hillary Clinton, that’s all about to change, he said.

“We are about to change that. And that’s why I’m so excited!” he said.

!snip!

Hang on folks. A poorer U.S. dead ahead.

  1. when it comes to going to the bathroom it doesn’t matter if you have a penis or a vagina, you can just use the one you want to now.

    so now, what difference does it make if the potus has a vagina or a penis.
    this liberal disconnect is getting to be too much.

    make them live up to their own non-standards.

  2. If liberals think women have it so much better in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Rwanda, then all liberal women should pick up and move there. Go on, ladies, enjoy the rape, murder, and cannibalism. (Not necessarily in that order).

  3. It’s because in those three countries, all the educated, influential men have been killed in sectarian and political violence.

    This guy is an IDIOT.(My apologies to all clinical idiots out there.)

  4. The world is a fairly dismal place “on average”– speaking in economic, social or religious terms. Sounds like he’s aspiring to turn us into a dismal 3rd world hell hole in the name of diversity, feminism or some other meaningless neoliberal buzzword.

    even my uber liberal Democrat relatives (age range from 20’s to 70’s) ALL loathe Hillary & Kaine
    Let’s hope for a 1972 McGovern-esque flame out for Hitlery & Co.

  5. It’s beyond belief that these two absolute poltroons occupy any space in our heads. Where did the Tea Party go? We made forever friends on 9-12 walking around the mall in the absolute splendor of that day. Not a piece of trash was left for anyone to pick up…

  6. Actually, Fur might want to consider this chestnut from Barry Goldwater:

    “I favor the election of women into office. Unlike men, women understand that you can’t spend more money than the old man brings home.”
