      <![CDATA[Just proves that once you go into politics you can't enjoy the simple things in life- like enjoying a corndog- without some editor using it to sink your political career (as opposed to your more than rediculous platform). Personally I plan on taking pictures of everyone I see at the Delta Fair and Mid South Fair (unbeknownst to them) and posting them online.

I've always thought the "c" word, when uttered by men, was the equivalent, for women (even more so than the "b" word), that the "n" word is for blacks, when uttered by whites.

      <![CDATA[Marty, each and every last one of the photos of a male that has been mentioned here was damaging to the candidate because it dinged their perceived masculinity. If it's sexist to laugh at these kinds of pictures, it's equally sexist to both genders.

      <![CDATA[Don't get me wrong: I have no love lost for Michelle Bachmann (hell, I even cursed her in Yiddish), but when all is said and done, isn't all this more than a bit sexist? <br>
<br>
I mean, all the other (i.e.,male) candidates ate corn dogs too, and some of them even had their pictures taken doing so (e.g., <a href="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2011/08/xlarge_perry1_81-5.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/&hellip;</a>), yet she was the one singled out for such mockery.<br>
<br>
I'm just sayin'.<br>
