Kinda helps to know who and what you are talking about.

Your humor was not lost on me. I’m sure all the guys got it too. Keeping your sense of humor is almost a major requirement in todays world. Sorry to read you were censored on some other blog. That is probably why I hang around here and don’t read the other blogs. The cross section of bloggers generally come up with all sides of an issue and if they don’t some of the people who comment do. It’s a pretty comfortable place to be no matter where you stand on an issue.

I agree the new sheriff can handle whatever is thrown at her. If she could handle the LASD academy she can handle just about anything including mysogenistic (sic?) remarks.

In that vein, I was trying to be funny – I hope that’s what came across. I’m pretty desensitized to sexual innuendos (I wrote a comment in yesterday’s Liberal OC that was substantially censored – but the gist of it was that women in law enforcement are accustomed to hearing MUCH worse than Bustamante’s trite bra joke). I agree with you that there will never be a shortage of oafs like Bustamante making ill-considered wisecracks. And, unfortunately, there will always be women who perpetuate unflattering stereotypes (Paris Hilton comes quickly to mind). I guess as long as everyone recognizes there are great talents and great thinkers (and, conversely, great doofuses – or would plural be doofusi?) on both sides of the gender/race/ethinic spectrum, we’ll eventually all get to a place where we assess someone’s words (or better yet, actions) without factoring in whether it came from a woman, and whether that woman was frumpy or gorgeous, etc., etc. I appreciate that Jolie has never shied away from controversy and her humanitarian efforts have been remarkable. Physicality, sexuality, vials-of-blood-around-the neckality really shouldn’t factor into it!

You are probably right about most guys but I’m way too old and past caring about tripping over anything. What intrigues me is she seems to be a thinker, like our new Sheriff. I like these women who are smarter, faster and better than I was in my youth. There will always be men who make “Bustamante” type remarks and I admit I’ve made my share. But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect these women. It just means I came from another time and am learning to adapt, overcome and improvise.

Seems like the guys are tripping over something besides their tongues …

I thought McCain and her dad (Jon Voight for those who don’t know) were buddies or something. It makes sense that she’d give him a chance at least.

… and her views sound an awful lot like those of someone else on this blog.

[Update: Jolie and Voight are estranged. I can only assume she's giving McCain 'a chance' because she's open minded like that. It doesn't mean she's settled for him yet... and I do mean 'settled!' Remember, he used to be a 'maverick.']
