Come on Over Here, Sugar, and I Can Fix That With a Pocket Knife and Fifteen Minutes Alone With Your Genitals
Please meet Mr. Bob FitzSimmonds, Republican Party of Virginia Treasurer and “very close friend” of gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli II (R).
Mr. FitzSimmonds is the “former executive director of what is now the Care Net Pregnancy Help Center and the former chair of the Virginia Crisis Pregnancy Center Directors Association”
He is also a man.
With an opinion.
And that opinion was fully expressed at last week’s state party convention when he was asked —
[Virginia blogger Ben Tribbett] asked FitzSimmon whether he supported the distribution of emergency contraception on college campuses. “I’m not a big fan of contraception, frankly,” the Republican Party official explained.
Dude, you’re a man. I can make you even less of a fan with a pocket knife.
Thanks to Hilary for the heads up.
Actually, if they had their way, college campuses would not need them – because there would be no women in college. Why educate breeders? They need only need women to breed our next crop of soldiers, for their next wars for profit.
1Virginia? The state of the vaginal probe? Why am I not surprised?
2“Virginia Crisis PregnancyCenter”….where we’ll talk you into keeping that fetus…then shame you for being a single parent, or not being able to raise it, or say “you asked for it” if you were raped, or take away your food stamps or school meals if your child gets bad grades (well, that’s in TN)…..but by golly… we need more white conservative offspring, damn it!!!!!!!!
3I wonder how his wife feels about this and how many children he has.
4Why would it take that long? I bet you could get it done in under five while writing your accompanying post with the other hand.
5Yeah, and Roman Polanski recently said that the invention of the Pill ruined romance, but nobody has to care what he thinks. With the above jackwagon as a state official, people may have to care.
Virginia is leaning toward blue, boys– I hope your rightwing state office nominees hasten that move. The more your Lt Gov nominee opens his mouth, the more I expect to smile through my wincing.
6Oh, Boy! Just a couple of weeks ago, I finished reading all three volumes of Jennifer Worth’s memoirs “Call the Midwife.” Dear Dog! I was just a kid when the Pill came on the market and had NO idea what women went through (who didn’t have concerned husbands, that is). Roman Polanski is the very last man on Earth I would listen to about “romance” and women. The only reason he isn’t rotting in a jail somewhere is because he was widowed in the most awful way imaginable; and, he sucked that well dry a long time ago.
I mean REALLY! Why do men continue to stick their noses in women’s business??? This, after spending centuries keeping women out of men’s business??? Sometimes, there is not enough gin in the world . . .
7Some men are such nothings that they need to target an entire group of people just so they have someone to look down on. Women are an easy target ’cause we have those oh-so-different body parts.
8I’ve got me a mighty fine almost 40 year old Buck Hunter you can borrow for that. I don’t own any guns, but a good knife has many purposes.
9You could do it with a pair of fingernail clippers and savor the experience.
10Time to repeat that great remark James Wolcott (Vanity Fair editor) made during last year’s election campaign:
“It is difficult to imagine what else Republicans can do to drive away women in 2012, unless they decide to bring back witch hanging. And I wouldn’t put it past them.”
11Whatever you use, make sure its rusty!!!!
12Lynne, you could do it with a pair of fingernail clippers and be done. Period.
13Barb,
Yeppers.
My favorite line in Forrest Gump:
“Sometimes there are just not enough rocks”.
14@LynnN, We women will be equal to men when we can walk around with a bald head and beer gut, and still think we’re sexy.
15Before I comment, I look these bozos up to find out a background CV. One thing I found about him is that “his 501c(3) waiting for approval from the IRS; “it doesn’t say ‘Tea Party” in the name, but it does say ‘Christian abstinence.'”
The only way he has this opinion is he lets his narrow view of religion color his judgement. He suffers from just plain, old WILLFUL ignorance. And the Rethugs have too many members who suffer the same affliction.
16This is the American Taliban mentality: men controlling women. It’s their dream, their raison d’etre. Women must suffer the consequences of sex. Men, not so much.
17How many times has he been pregnant?
18JJ, I have a Buck knife like fenway fran’s, but it hasn’t been sharpened in ages and is probably pretty dull, so if you want something that’s going to take 15 minutes, use mine.

20It’s slow going, working on ole ‘Pindyck the bugfokker’ (sorry Momma) with a magnifying glass, tweezers, and a rusty knife.
He’s “not a big fan of contraception”. Another candidate for this years Darwin award.
