SOMETIMES A COMPLIMENT IS JUST A COMPLIMENT

I suppose I should weigh in on the totally stupid storm over Obama calling my Attorney General the best looking.

What a pile of shit. The PC Police.

This is where the left looks as stupid as the right.

I was amused to see this article today.

President Obama Routinely Calls Important, Accomplished Men ‘Good-Looking’

I guess this is one of those "in the eye of the beholder" things.

Since when is it demeaning for me, let alone for him, to say that someone is "good looking".

I say it all the time.

Is it demeaning to women? Well not for me. They are are good looking. I say so. I am not drooling over them sexually, certainly. It is a compliment. Get over it. Accept it. Say "thank you" and move on.

I say it about handsome men. Gay and straight. Is that sexist? Well, I admit that sometimes it is based on a kind of attraction. But usually it is just a compliment.

I suppose somehow if I do not say that you are good looking when you are not or compliment you emptily, then that is demeaning or patronizing.

But that is bullshit too.

It is like fat people not wanting to be seen as fat. They are fat. Period. When I got thin I liked it when guys said I looked thin and even when they said maybe "too thin".

Look. I have seen Kamala Harris, she is my Attorney General and there is no denying that she is a looker. Don't we get points for that?

Women and men dress and groom to be good looking. Isn't that a cue for a comment.

Come on guys. You are taking things way too seriously and, besides, it is guys who have called him on this. That numb nuts Jonathan Chait, I'm talking to you. And James Carville, the snake. He has a lighter tone but it is the same thing. An advocate of empty and superficial pandering.

I hate this kind of shit.
