    Bitch. He called the judge a bitch

    Walker Crony Calls WI's First Woman Supreme Court Justice a 'Bitch' | AlterNet

    I read this article and I have never been one for political correctness. If your an asshole I am sorry I just can't find a politically correct way of saying it. Now in the way this designation of bitch was applied to the chief justice I do not find it inappropriate. It is the way we talk and think in ordinary everyday life.

    What do you think? Is this an instance of how stupid the concept of political correctness is?

    What is the purpose of political correctness

    I would have thought she was a bitch too.

    According to the article, Crony did not come under fire for "thinking she was a bitch."

    Right. That is where the political correctness angle comes in. We used to be able to call a spade a spade but now it is a garden tool.

    It always was in cards or in the garden. Where exactly did you have fantacies of spades. ???
    ' Oh bury me, then rise ye up
    And break your heavy chains
    And water with the tyrants' blood
    The freedom you have gained.
    And in the great new family,
    The family of the free,
    With softly spoken, kindly word
    Remember also me."

    Its just a local expression meaning that if its shit call it shit, or call it what it is don't mince your words.

    I think it was probably correct from what i read. I don't have a problem with it.

    But even if not what good does a phony decorum provide other than deceit hiding the real feelings.

    Political correctness is a means of facilitating that deceit. So saying call a spade a spade just means to tell it like it is.

    Wisconsin surely needs strong men who can keep these evil women in their place. Justice David Prosser protects American tradition by responding to pressure uncivilly and by rudely attacking those with whom he disagrees. Go David!

    And I hope the other bitch beats the shit out of you in the April election.

    Its called decorum, not political correctness. The highest court in the state and you do that?

    Read it again somebody who knew her did it. I didn't do it I'm simply questioning the role of political correctness in the criticism of his statement.
