Taking Penis Envy to New Republican Heights
Janis Lane, President of the Central Mississippi Tea Party, does not like me. Or you, if you are a hooter toter. She has some very clear on ideas on what is wrong with the world and, dammit, it’s wimmen.
When asked if she thought it was wrong for Republican men to tell women what to do with their bodies, Janis was ready with the Tea Party answer:
Lane: Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I’d much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.
Because women have the right to vote, I am active, because I want to make sure there is some sanity for women in the political world. It is up to the Christian rednecks and patriots to stand up for our country.
Janis Lane: Her bumper sticker says, "I'd Rather Be Beating Up Women."
Now, since women can’t be trusted, wasn’t it a damn perfect move of the Central Mississippi Tea Party electing her President of their fine organization?
I probably shouldn’t say this but I’d be willing to bet that Tammy May Frontage, the secretary of said Central Mississippi Tea Party, ran off with Janis’ husband last week.
If you see Janis around, tell her she has to turn in her hooters. Now.
Men aren’t diabolical? Has she ever listened to Ted Nugent or any of the charming men who make racist comments about the President? Women should have the right to vote–just not this one.
1A lot of projection there.
2Does she really think that adding Joker tips to the corners makes her mouth look bigger?
3Was she looking in a mirror when she said all of that?
4She is right that a group of mean, spiteful women can be a bad thing, and since she IS a mean, spiteful woman, any group she hangs with is exactly that. I am certainly glad I know so few mean and spiteful women. I love the empowering and supportive women (and men) that are abundantly in my life.
5Well, We could hold her down, get her the buzzcut she longs for–Mittens knows how…that and teach her how to walk differently–then she could be equal to the males–but I always liked the joke about the guy that asked to be made smarter than the smartest male around, and poof! He was made into a woman…
6Sorry guys—I am just getting so full of hatred/frustration for these idiots–an old acquaintance unfriended me because I wasn’t “Christian” enough for her 1. I’m Jewish 2 Whaat?
3 I don’t have the right political beliefs and its uncomfortable for me…
First I laughed and then I got pissed off–How dare she!! My relationship with the almighty is a MYOB place at best, and I’ll decide what I can handle and can’t handle, in the end its just but there really is crAZy in AZ
Obviously some woman has taken her male children hostage and is threatening to turn them into open minded, liberal, non hating democrats. . . .
It is the only reason I can fathom that this woman is buck naked, betsy bug crazy.
7It starts at the fringe and works it’s way in. Just sayin’.
8I really hate to be superficial – but she even looks stupid.
9Just when you think they can’t get any more insane…
10Sooooooooo, that’s how it is, I am still gasping for breath, and she was dumb enough to say this out loud.
11“There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person.”
Yeah, that’s so much worse than the mean, hateful men who rape and murder them instead.
Way to go with the mean hate, Janis. And the stupid, too.
Tell you what– we’ll all be better off with YOU not voting.
12Buck nakkid Betsy bug crazy is my new favorite term, Angela.
13I. Am. Gob. Smacked!
14Gawd save me from the Christians.
Well, this certainly explains why I have never felt comfortable passing through Mississippi. I’d heard marrying your siblings or first cousins could result in mental aberrations in offspring, and Janis is proud positive.
I try to find the positive in situations, even in ones like this, so I must remind us all that there are enough good, sane people in Mississippi – if memory is still serving me correctly (no guarantee of that, mind you) – to have voted down a personhood amendment last November.
See, the crazies haven’t taken the entire state yet, though Janis Lane is sure an embarrassment to those who still retain viable brain cells. Obviously, the good folk who voted down the personhood amendment have lots of work to do to clear out the dead-headed yahoos like Janis.
15Held a shop vac to her ear huh?
16After reading then googling this person’s name, I am taking my Prozac with Guinness Stout, non-Irish water just won’t do.
OMFG???
I have sensed for sometime there was something so wrong there behind the Cotton Curtain. Seriously, the rest of the lower 48 need to go to Mississippi Wednesday and stage an intervention. This woman is clearly dangerous to herself and others.
17Ditto ks sunflower. I’ve never been in the south — the closest I ever got was El Paso, and I heard at the time that it was also called Baja Oklahoma. (Oh, and I also spent many years in Arizona before it got quite so crazy) — but I did watch “Deliverance.” The deep south scares me to death, so I feel kind of safe in the Northwest. I also agree with JJ; if that’s how Janis feels, it’s time to turn in the hooters and put on a suit and tie. Maybe she can “pass.”
18It is sad. So sad.
Maybe Mississippi want to secede too?
19Please???
When my daughter was a little girl I explained the US flag symbolism to her–a stripe for each of the 13 original colonies, a star for each state, etc.
The particular flag we were looking at had gold fringe around it. She asked, “What is the gold for?” I replied, “That is for the lunatic fringe.”
20Sounds like Ms. Lane has a serious case of the Lois Lane wannabes — looking for a Superman to take all the responsibility off her shoulders.
I don’t know where she worked or what position she had but I do note that she was talking about who was going to be her boss and didn’t say a word about the other people she works with. Since 1989 when I left the land of sales and entered the land of software development, some of the best managers I have had have been women — except for the one who got promoted by and later married the married man she had been sleeping with. All of the duds (except the aforementioned) were men.
Women as coworkers — especially those with children — are organized and efficient. I think it’s because they have to balance so many things. But I doubt that ole Janis Lane is. My bet is that she always needed to ask her boss what to do and the women bosses wouldn’t put up with that kind of crap.
21I have an idea.
22Let’s fix her up with Newt.
He’s about to have an opening.
(You can run all you like with that last sentence.)
Remember Phylis Schafly? we thought she was crazy for going round the country talkin’ ’bout how women shouldn’t work (meanwhile her children were left unattended by her) and that the Equal Rights Amendment would lead to unisex public bathrooms. Even that crazy witch supports women’s right to vote. Talk about fear and self loathing in ol’ Miss
23This alleged female person (nope, can’t call her a woman) must be a graduate of Phyllis Schafly’s Do-As-I-Say-Not-As-I-Do U.
24She’s the female version of an Uncle Tom
25Ellen VH, It ain’t just the walk and the haircut. It she wants to be one of the boys she also needs to learn the subtle things we do, like grabbing our crotches, spitting, using cowboy kleenex, and asking children to pull our fingers.
26I’m afraid to ask her what should be done with female ophans? Should we be able to work and support ourselves? Should we be able to make our own religious choices? Or should the unholy alliance of a Church controlled Government appoint us a man who will make all our decisions for us?
BTW, do these people even understand the folks on the Mayflower came here to escape the twisted collusion of church/govt control of their lives?
27I am reminded that the esteemed Board of Education for the state of Texas has fixed it so that Cesar Chavez has been removed from history books and replaced with….you got it, Phyllis Schlaffley! (who would of course be very favorable towards this nincompoop’s point of view!)
28I cannot resist this – with apologies in advance to blonds. What do you all want from a dumb blond? I mean, just look at that photo. Smug little idiot isn’t she.
29Ah, Janis, we know you. You with the sweet dimply smile and those devilish eyes. Did you try to use them on your female bosses when they told you to get your ass in gear?
I grew up in Mississippi in the 1950’s and I can’t imagine a woman I knew who wouldn’t have snatched her baldheaded (politely and graciously of course) if she had made such a statement about voting. And men would have eased out the back door to avoid the disagreeable sight of women having a little “unpleasant” conversation.
Of course, with desegration came those “christian schools” with their religious teachings based on the “diabolical” nature of women and the superiority of patriarchy.
In spite of the voters turning down the “personhood” law, the legislature and governor have made it legally impossible for anyone to obtain an abortion for any reason in the state.
So we moved to Texas where the influential Christian Rednecks generally wear either suits or big hats or both. Not a whole lot of improvement here.
However, my children thank us for not being born
Mississippi. My sister still lives there and it’s not easy for a liberal.
And Janis, honey,bless your heart, maybe she will let you in heaven anyway.
30Janis Lane definitely hungers for a penis, but why not? Women weren’t GIVEN the right to vote BY MEN, who had all the power, for 50 years after the Constitution was amended to give black men the right to vote. Only after SOME women fought long & hard, were women considered PERSONS under the Constitution. Women still weren’t allowed any power until recently (in last 1/2 century) after SOME women fought long & hard to gain it… and have the “scars” to prove getting, retaining & exercising real power is very, very hard for women. They had to be diabolical.
31Let her burn her voter card. Ugly old bitty!! I worked in an office of all women and I would take it over the office where I had a man for a boss any day. For one the all female office actually got things done and we laughed a lot!! The male run office was full of stress and the man didn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground, we used to book him golf dates to get him out of the office so we could get things done. This Janis Lane “thing” I won’t call her a woman because if she doesn’t have a penis she should get an operation and get one. We women fight every day for equal rights, equal pay, and she wants us to what just give that up and be a doormat for some penis wielding male? A strong man can handle a strong woman. If she has a hubby he must be a pansy. Lord this woman pissed me off and needs slapped so hard her ears ring for 40 years!!
