Soundbite: Is Bipartisan Testosterone Turning Off Women and Independents?

“Sunday shows are usually a little more boring than that, that was like a testosterone overload yesterday morning. Part of it is you just can’t understand what they’re saying because they’re talking over each other, which I actually think is what turns off Independents and women when they try to watch these shows and it makes them more frustrated with Washington.”

— Dana Perino, former press secretary for Pres. George W. Bush and current FNC contributor, on Fox & Friends this morning.

Perino was referring to a portion of ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, replayed on Fox & Friends, where GOP Chairman Michael Steele got into a heated debate with his Democratic counterpart, Tim Kaine. The arguing was mixed with some physical contact as well, as the duo engaged in some hand-grabbing throughout the segment. Perino’s take was interesting – as she clearly took a shot at both sides of the debate. Although she said later, “I think that Michael Steele absolutely won that debate,” the tone of the argument was one which she identified as a negative for both Democrats and Republicans.

Here’s the testy exchange on This Week:

And what wrong with Testrosterone? The problem with this country is that the women’s movement has turned so many men into wimps. For 30+ years men have been told you need to get in touch with there feminine side, bulls$%t, there’s too much Estrogen already in most of the men today.

Look at Pelosi, news programs, talk shows and on and on and on. In most cases, they are all women and they pontificate only their point of view. Let a man do that and its national headlines. Don’t see any women talking about how this recession has been devastating to men, many more laid off than women, but you don’t see them talking about it. They’re happy that it’s happening to men and not them. I can assure you that it would be again headline news if the other way.

Men, take back your balls. No ladies, I’m not saying we need to be rude, disrespectful, hateful, or just plain vindictive, that’s your job, we need to just stand up for what we believe and stop worrying about hurting you feeling when we express an opinion.

by Drew Grant | 10:31 am, Saturday

Ah, Europe. With their laxer policies from everything from drinking to nudity, who wouldn't want to live there? But it's not all free-wheeling nudists Frenchmen all bicycles: BBC Breakfast host Sian Williams said she would read the news naked, if that's what it get her out of paying over $9k in taxes that she was trying to write off as expenses. But both her bosses and a tax tribunal said nay.

Is anyone in the media not talking about Glenn Beck? It's clear we here at Mediaite certainly spend a lot of time doing so, but it would appear the rest of the world is catching up. Are they ever. Just take my morning media consumption as an example.
