OH MY GOD. They should have made sure they could pronounce their own title before they chose to call themselves the “Woman Wayors.” There’s some legit “Rural Juror” shit in this video.
There’s really just so much to discuss, and your point is a great place to start. And the “I’m not a Fluke” bit is hilarious. The hatred that this specific genre of conservative has for Sandra Fluke is so bizarre and fascinating. It seems to have very little to do with them having uncompromising pro-life beliefs and fundamentally disagreeing with her. They seem to just be extremely angry that she got a lot of sympathy a while back, and thus has much higher name recognition than all but the top tier conservative pundits. Sucks to be Greg Gutfeld and Monica Crowley, I guess! But really, the hatred for her is so petty and creepy. Check out this Fox Newsiest Fox News segment to see how bizarrely mad these people are at her. And the funny thing is that all of these people are such famewhores and opportunists themselves! They’d all happily go testify before a congressional committee or speak at the RNC if they could (Janine Turner in fact did speak at the RNC and gave the most vapid political speech I’ve ever seen, which is saying quite a bit). And perhaps the greatest irony is that Sandra Fluke is really articulate and knowledgable about the issues she advocates, while these bozos either fundamentally don’t understand what they’re talking about or are comfortable being deliberately misleading.
And then coming back to the video, can we talk about the wildly disparate production values? Like, Janine Turner rented out a studio and probably spent some time giving notes about the lighting, meanwhile some of these Jane Does did their readings into a water-damaged BlackBerry Pearl or something. Couldn’t someone have sent out a quick email like, “Subject: Hey, Body: Let’s all do our videos in landscape.” (I won’t even bother with the term “aspect ratio”) And why is “Dr.” Gina Loudon using a handheld mic? Who is this 12 year old wearing a stethoscope? In the editing room Sony “Vegas” Studio, did no one notice that Janine was hitting all her notes really hard, while some of these poor ladies have the screen presence of a yucca tree?? And really, has anything ever been funnier than showing three of them when they say “multiply,” and then cutting the other two’s sound when Janine says the next line?
And nothin like a good ol’ grassroots “get out the vote” campaign after all the voter registration deadlines! You go, Janine.
