Erickson: Wendy Davis should be known as “abortion Barbie”
All the nation knows about Wendy Davis is that she is ignorant of the horrors of Kermit Gosnell, wears pink shoes, and filibustered legislation to save the innocent in Texas.
She joined the long line of Democrats before her to oppose legislation to protect other people while using property rights arguments to do so.
The media would prefer to focus on her blonde hair, her great outfits, and her pink shoes than on the procedure she wants to protect. That procedure, late term abortion, is opposed by a majority of women and men.
Abortion Barbie fits perfectly and I hope that moniker haunts her on the campaign trail. She is, after all, intent on building a national name for herself through abortion and pink shoes. I’m sure MSNBC will send her tampon earrings to go with the other accessories.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I think I’d rather be exposed to bits from the bible two days in a row than the likes of Alfonzo Rachel and Erick Erickson :-)
If you’re going to defend sexist comments, you’ll need a better argument than “liberals do it too!”
“Criticize ideas, not people.”
Considering the content of this piece, your first posting rule is, shall we say, ironic.
The Commenting Rules are for commenters MB.
Look, the woman WANTS to be totally identified with two things — abortion and pink sneakers. “Abortion Barbie” is downright flattering, considering the more appropriate monikers that could be applied.
Why are people who so enjoyed enjoyed the name “Caribou Barbie” offended by the name “Abortion Barbie”? It cannot be it is sexist (or else they would have objected to “Caribou Barbie”). It is because the name “Abortion Barbie” fits in this case and it will likely stick to their hero Ms Davis for the rest of her political career.
Wow, we’ve come a long way under Ms. Davis and her ilk. Known for her outfits, hair style, and sneakers! Running scared from her own record in the TX legislature! Abortion Barbie is perfect.
Perhaps she will relish the title!!!!
I think it could work for her.
Christina Dunigan wrote what I thought.
By the way MB, Mr. Erickson is criticizing the ideas of Ms. Davis and not attacking her personally. He is critiquing her cruel and blood thirsty ideas on how to treat human beings in the womb with her benign appearance. He is complimenting her appearance, while impugning her ideas. Complimenting someone’s looks should not be confused with sexism. He is also lampooning some of the foolishness of the liberal media’s fawning over abortion (aka tampon earrings).
I agree the moniker fits her well – forwith she will be known as “Abortion Barbie” to me.
I don’t like this idea. Ms. Davis’ views are reprehensible enough that she deserves to lose the election on them alone. There is no need to resort to name calling.
Isn’t there a common saying that goes something like “once you resort to name calling, you’ve admitted you lost the argument”? We don’t want to give off that impression.
JDC, good point – do you think you can get the liberal pro-choice media and Ms. Davis to stop referring to preborn human beings as “clumps of cells” or as “products of conception”? They even misuse the latin names used in medical science. These latin names, such as ‘fetus’, are supposed to describe the different ages of a preborn human being; however, the pro-choice side use these names to misrepresent the preborn human being as being something that is non-human.
And if that saying was true the prochoice side should’ve lost the public argument a long time ago and no one should’ve heard of Roe.
JDC, if anyone should understand that a little light-hearted humour/mocking can be effective it should be you. I am for civility, but I can do without being considered a prude.
We could have nicknamed Cecil Richards long ago, if name-calling were all we cared about. Cece would have been iconic as “Abortion Barbie.” Except Cece is also a capable CEO of a Fortune 500-sized “non-profit,” as well as a capable propagandist and political strategist. She has earned our fear and respect. Cece would have swatted that insult like a fly, the same way that no one actually remembers the slur of “Carribou Barbie.”
Wendy is Abortion Barbie. And she will be for a long time, the same way that Sandra Fluke still wears the label that Limbaugh gave her.
To live this down, Abortion Barbie is going to have to show America that she is a lot more than big hair, pink suits and empty blue eyes.
She is Abortion Barbie. I like it. Sexist? Please. I can think of a few nominees for abortion Ken – John Edwards comes to mind. Plastic, yet deadly.
I’ve just been made aware of a special device we have installed which forces pro-choice trolls to come to this blog every single day. Apparently it really works!
I disagree about the name calling. We aren’t trying to insult her per se. But we must cut through the rhetoric! Abortion Barbie is a form of counter-rhetoric–it’s like an argument against what she stands for packed into two words.
Abortion Barbie… *Snickers*
Sorry, couldn’t help myself, but that aside I don’t think this a good idea and that labeling or name-calling is this instance is serving any purpose other than to stigmatize and dishonor her into silence, much in the same way pro-choice do to us, and I think there are other better, more effective & civil means to get our points across.
Abortion Barbie… *Snickers*
@Ladybug: two thoughts —
1) We don’t have any choice in the matter of nicknames. Individually, each of us can choose whether or not to used the nickname. But if the label sticks, it is because the label is especially fitting in some way. Like Sandra Fluke’s unspeakable label, and the old Hanoi Jane.
2) It is good for the pro-aborts to be reminded that they paint themselves with stigma and dishonor. Pro-lifers do nothing to cause it. We just shine some light on what is there.
She can deflect attention away from her pink accessories by wearing a t-shirt that reads “Kermit Karpen Stands on Sacred Ground!” LOL. Wait, not funny, scary.
To call her Abortion Barbie is an insult to Barbie and her fans!
Abortion Wendie sounds better, I think.
It would be great to market an Abortion Wendie doll with the accessories: pink shoes, tampon earrings, pee bag, microphone, glasses that set down on the nose, back brace, fundraising checks from infanticide supporters, jars of urine and feces, orange satanic Tshirt, framed Harvard Law Degree, dismembered babies. . .
Does anyone know how Abortion Barbie feels about her new monicker?
Perhaps she is proud of it. Abortion is sacred ground for her.
Perhaps she’ll come to Washington during the March for Life and spend 11 hours commanding us to stop walking on the ground she worships!
i like Abortion Wendy better too…. but Abortion Barbie has already stuck.
Del – Or we can choose not to create derogatoty nicknames & labels in the first place or use them just to be insulting& stigmatizing, we’re better than that…we can instead make effective arguments against their rhetoric & histronics.
Or we can ignore her as the media circus sideshow she was designed to be and talk about how a few people in Texas stood so passionately for inflicting terrible pain on innocent babies… Pro-aborts want us to talk about anything other than abortion, because they know they lose that fight in the end!
Let her opponent talk about her lust for infanticide, we should talk about fetal pain she is a two-term Senate political never-was.
Her abortion grand-standing may be the thing she’s most famous for, but it’s not all she is. I don’t think it makes us look great or gets our point across to mock her and make up silly nicknames. It might not be sexist, but I don’t think it gets us anywhere.
Someone speaks for 10 hours advocating the killing of unborn children – Jack doesn’t complain.
Someone calls said person “Abortion Barbie” – Jack gets bothered.
Jack, I think your leftist leanings are preventing you from adequately and appropriately condemning the filibuster of Ms. Davis.
At least Ms. Powers doesn’t let her politics blind her from the evils of the left’s advocacy for abortion.
I thought actions didn’t define a person?
I did complain about her filibuster. I think I called it evil. I just don’t feel the need to make up stupid names for her.
And I’m 100% sick of you accusing me of supporting abortion every time I don’t agree with you about something. It’s seriously immature.
Oh, and Del? Sandra Fluke only “still carries the name Limbaugh gave her” in the minds of people who are stupid enough to think you have to be a “slut” or a prostitute to use contraception or to believe in mandated contraception coverage. You people sometimes.
She wasn’t filibustering for abortion, she was filibustering against dishonest and extra-politically motivated legislation.
I’m sorry, actions may not be the sum total of a person (and they aren’t), but she still needs to own them. The nickname references her voluntary actions, which she claims to be proud of. If she doesn’t like how well this evil pink shoe fits, she should try a different course of action. Until then, the nickname fits.
I stopped making up nicknames for people I didn’t like when I was a kid.
“evil pink shoe” – now shoes have the capacity for good or evil?!? ROFLMBO
Even when I’m aware that people I am speaking with are commonly called by nicknames or variants of their name I tend to use their full and proper name Jack.
I don’t make up nicknames for people. But I don’t get too bent out of shape when I hear a particularly appropriate one.
Just like with the “slut” bs about Fluke, this will only serve to distract people from the actual issue. This is a lot less sexist than the Fluke stuff, but it’s still annoying. It just makes us almost as bad as them with their bumper sticker rhetoric.
And I seem to remember everyone crying about people making up names for Palin.
Caribou barbie doesn’t bother me either.
Lol well you’d be one of the few consistent ones then. I saw people scream and cry about sexism towards Palin (which I agree with, people were awful to her, and not all of it was simple politics), then turn around and start whining about Fluke being a slut. It’s stupid.
I still think name-calling hurts more than helps.
Yeah, well there was some sexism towards Palin for sure, but I prefer to focus on the actual sexism. I think Fluke is a moron, but the slut stuff was way out of line. That’s not clever. It’s not even accurate. I don’t even consider it a nickname – I had to google ‘Fluke nickname’ and came up with nothing, so I had no idea what you guys were talking about.
I didn’t think it was all that sexist to call Palin “Caribou Barbie”, it was just stupid. I thought it was sexist when people called her a gender traitor for being pro-life, or a bad mother for working while she has children (when’s the last time you’ve heard a man being judged for working?”. I was just saying, a lot of people got upset about stuff like that and turned around and starting calling Fluke a prostitute and a slut. It just disgusts me. Sexism wrong even if you don’t agree with the woman’s political party.
I agree that name calling is not good…now if we could only stop them from killing babies.
Btw Tyler it’s silly to bitch at me for replying to the thread topic, which was Wendy Davis’s nickname. I suppose I should add a caveat to all my posts saying “by the way even if I disagree with you about something I still hate abortion”, so you can stop insinuating things about me.
Meh…i don’t like the name Barbi for her…she doesn’t remind me of a Barbie doll at all….the abortion pimp in the pink sneakers. Barbie is beautiful and always smiling. This lady doesn’t fit that description for me.
Jack, all I was doing was pointing out that sometimes our political leanings can prevent us from seeing the big picture.
The only thing inaccurate with the moniker is the word “Barbie.” Wendy supports abortion so that part is not wrong. However, Wendy is a real live person and is not plastic so Barbie is not accurate. Wendy should be treated with respect, like she is a human being, as if she had a right to life.
Heather, your post reminds me of something – I remember a few of our commentators had some unkind words for the Bro-Choicer Ben Sherman. Those were the good old days.
No Tyler you were insinuating things about me, again, for the billionth time. I don’t know why, considering I didn’t say anything different then like half the commenters, some of them far more conservative than I am.
But I do agree with you, Davis is a human being and should be treated as such.
For you Jack:
Reality: Even when I’m aware that people I am speaking with are commonly called by nicknames or variants of their name I tend to use their full and proper name Jack.

Okay…. what does Reality’s comment on another issue have to do with this?
Reality did use Ben Sherman’s full name. He just added a few more names that I am sure aren’t on Ben’s birth certificate. Reality showed us how real name calling should be done.
Okay? Well Reality never claimed he doesn’t call people names, so I don’t know what the issue is? I disagree with Reality on tons of things, not the least of which he agrees with killing unborn babies.
Anyway Tyler it doesn’t make sense why I would care what Reality says or whatever. We should aim to do better than the pro-choicers, not model our behavior off them.
I was talking about people’s first names Tyler.
When I speak to someone whose name is Andrew I call them ‘Andrew’ rather than ‘Andy’ or ‘Popeye’.
If their name is Christine I will generally call them ‘Christine’ rather than ‘Chris’ or ‘Bubbles’.
I referred to Ben Sherman as Ben Sherman because I don’t know him and wasn’t speaking to him. Just like I’ve done with Alfonzo Rachel and Erick Erickson. But I don’t always do so.
Nor did I add names to Ben Sherman, I described what I thought of him.
Yes. I agree. But I consider this humour and not name-calling. I don’t think Erick was lampooning Wendy Davis, the person, as much as he was making fun of her ideas and support for abortion. In fact, if women abort their children, as Ms. Davis supports, then these women would have something in common with Barbie: they would, by choice, be as sterile and barren as the plastic doll. That is the irony of calling Ms. Davis “Abortion Barbie”. She is helping women become like the plastic doll.
Uh the post-abortive women I know, especially the pro-life post-abortive women, aren’t “sterile and barren as the plastic doll”. People remain just as human as everyone else, even if they do something wrong.
I had to google ‘Fluke nickname’ and came up with nothing, so I had no idea what you guys were talking about.
CT, that’s because “slut” was never reallly used as a nickname for her. Rush was speaking off the cuff about the breaking news of Fluke’s testimony for getting free birth control. He said, “Getting paid for having sex – doesn’t that make her… a slut”?
He actually meant to say “prostitute”, which doesn’t make it any better. It never made sense. For one thing, it was about getting money before any sex might happen.
It’s pretty hard to speak for 15 hours a week and not say something dumb, especially about a surprising breaking news story.
Mz Davis is wanting to ride abortion to further her political career. Using abortion Barbie as a nic is a great idea to get across what she stands for in a tiny sound bite or bumper sticker. It fits and it’s fast. Remember we do need to remove abortophilic politicians.
I do think we found a Leftie, who thinks its fine to expect others to fund recreational birth control for students who can afford 48,000 dollars tuition at Georgetown. Yes it is slut-like to advertise one’s exorbitant BC requirements while demanding that other people pay for it.
I just want to know what I can do to be called Pro-Life Barbie. That would be pretty sweet. At only 5 feet, I’d probably be called Pro-Life Skipper, dangit.
There was a time when my opinion of myself was associated with my appearance more than it should have been – while being called a Barbie then might have been gratifying, it would have been offensive. Now that I have given a good percentage of outer beauty away to my children (and yet know I have never been more Beautiful than now, by the way), I would be flattered. So in my case, try to look like Barbie = don’t call me a Barbie! Not sure this psychological phenomenon would apply to other women, but I am amused.
Well I’m not a woman LifeJoy but you’ve certainly amused me with this comment. And I mean that in a nice way :-)
Lifejoy: that’s so cute. I’ve been called “pro-life lawyer Barbie”… So I know the feeling. It only adds to the nickname since my fiancé is named Ken, and he’s a prolifer too. :)
Aaaaagh stop defending reality he’s nothing but a troll!
I wouldn’t even flatter her like that. she’s probably so egotistical she would love it. I know some women who do look like a Barbie doll and she doesn’t even come close.
Uh the post-abortive women I know, especially the pro-life post-abortive women, aren’t “sterile and barren as the plastic doll”. People remain just as human as everyone else, even if they do something wrong.
Next time I will add the word “effectively” so that I can say that abortion makes women effectively “barren and sterile.” (I did say that these women would be barren by choice.)
Some women are graced by God and are shown God’s mercy and renounce their former ways – those that do have a chance (but not always) of becoming fruitful but both those who stay wedded to abortion and killing their babies will be effectively barren. Jack, I know someone who have had abortions and now desperately want a child and can’t.
“Aaaaagh stop defending reality he’s nothing but a troll!”
More to the point, stop feeding him as well.
I stopped making up nicknames for people I didn’t like when I was a kid.
You may not make them up anymore but it hasn’t kept you from joining in. It was only a few weeks ago that you were encouraging X in regards to her name calling (Tyleritis) saying,
I’ve read this like six times and I still can’t stop laughing every time I see it.
Just keeping you in check. (:
Reality: “Even when I’m aware that people I am speaking with are commonly called by nicknames or variants of their name I tend to use their full and proper name..”
HAHAHA, good one!! Right Reality? (winkwink).
Lol Prax I don’t make up nicknames for people I don’t LIKE. I like Tyler, actually quite fond of him. And he insults me like, daily.
I didn’t know that, Jack. I think I may have a case of Jackassitis today.
:/ It’s a terrible affliction.
Better than suffering from Praxedation.
LOL! I don’t know what that could possibly mean, it just sounded funny!
Jack, please tell me when I have insulted you?
Thanks Praxedes. I forgot about that particular instance. .
Never mind Tyler, you’re always perfectly polite to me.
Jack, I do think you have a tendency to read into my comments. Sometimes that is to my benefit because it makes me look smarter than I am. Other times it makes me appear cruel.
I do sometimes try to encourage you to be committed to a certain point of view. But I don’t think that is mean spirited. I definitely don’t intend it to be.
I don’t know what that could possibly mean
It’s bad, very, very bad. My husband and kids will attest to how bad it can be! (:
“Aaaaagh stop defending reality he’s nothing but a troll!” says the person whose modus operandi consists of “I saw/know/heard so and so did such and such. No, no back-up for it, go look it up.” Pfft.
“Next time I will add the word “effectively” so that I can say that abortion makes women effectively “barren and sterile.” – and you’d still be ‘effectively’ wrong.
“HAHAHA, good one!! Right Reality? (winkwink).” – which would be why I said, as you yourself quoted “I tend to use their full and proper name..”rather than ‘I always use their full and proper name’ Sunshine.
Reality ..i generally skim your comments because in your world abortion is awesome!! You can search engine facts or read facts on this blog. Jill saw a. live birth abortion ..so is she lying? Search engine anything and facts pop up. Jill has posted horrific pictures of aborted babies ….are they fake? Anyway all I’m saying is that you’re a huge waste of everyones time here.
Reality told us he often walks around in the nude. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. YAK..he’s probably some pathetic loser who thinks he’s hot and has several aborted babies in his past. Instead of being an internet troll you could be taking care of your kids.
And like Tyler I also know a woman who had 8 abortions and HAD to have a hysterectomy because she wouldn’t stop bleeding. The doctors told her her uterus was damaged from all of the abortions. FACT….now how can I prove that to you aside from giving you her name and phone number? Would you even care? I’m telling you that not all abortions go off without a hitch.
“You can search engine facts or read (alleged)facts on this blog.” – I know that. What’s your problem with the concept?
“Search engine anything and facts pop up” – yes, why don’t you give it a try? A lot of tripe turns up too though so be careful.
“Anyway all I’m saying is that you’re a huge waste of everyones time here.” – well that’s not true. Any undecideds who come seeking information at least get the opportunity to see some balance.
Many folk who live in my region often wear little or nothing, in the privacy of our own homes. It’s not a nudist area or anything. It’s just a climate and lifestyle thing.
“several aborted babies in his past” – sorry to disappoint you.
“you could be taking care of your kids.” – my son is a very fine and successful 32 year old.
Shall I say some not very nice and untrue things about you now? Nah, I’ll let you speak for yourself.
Id like to add that this woman tried to drink herself to death and ended up in ICU. She has one living child and her multiple abortions depressed her so badly she wanted to die. Ain’t abortion grand? The absolute cure all. The absolute solution! Some women become sterile after their first abortion.
Reality you’re just gross. So you’re an older man? How many dead babies?
Why would a nudist older man hang around a pro life blog 2 4 7? It just gets creepier.
The wisdom and validity of my decision to have never bothered with twitter is continuously reinforced :-)
If you really are that old you need your head examined. It should be anyway. Id pictured some teenager or 20 something year old. Either way I don’t believe you are anything more than a troll.
The wisdom and validity of my decision to have never bothered with twitter is continuously reinforced :-)
Signing off troll…waste of time. Pro lifers do not waste your time on reality. Skim his posts and don’t even respond.
“Skim his posts and don’t even respond.”
Why even skim them? I personally don’t read his posts at all anymore, and am much happier for it.
At the risk of creating some great unbalance in the force, I actually wouldn’t classify reality as a troll. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I’ve agreed with him about anything, and I’ve been here long enough that I can usually skim his arguments, but I think he’s here to make what he sees to be legitimate points.
Sorry CT I cannot agree with you there. I have perhaps agreed with him once and it did not pertain to abortion. JDC …yep I don’t even really skim them. There isn’t anything he writes worth reading….just like Hal. I’m glad he finally went away.
The wisdom and validity of my decision to have never bothered with twitter is confirmed :-)
Can someone please explain to me how “reality” gets 2 positive likes on some of his comments as I know that a commenter is unable to “like” him/herself?
Eureka, I know !!! “Merit” and CT.
Newsflash CT – a troll posts inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic messages in an online community, with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.” If you think that ‘reality” does not fit this, than you have not been paying attention…
“Can someone please explain to me how “reality” gets 2 positive likes on some of his comments as I know that a commenter is unable to “like” him/herself?
Eureka, I know !!! “Merit” and CT.”
No, I’m pretty sure at least one of the likes must be from himself.
I stand corrected JDC. Thanks. Just clicked to “like” my comment above and it worked. So does this mean that if “reality” likes himself, he really likes himself?
Note to moderators – you may unlike my like. LOL.
“Just clicked to “like” my comment above and it worked.”
Yeah, a while back I clicked like on one of my own comments just to see if it would work. Don’t remember which one it was, though.
I’m not so insecure of my position to feel the need to ‘like’ my own comments. I have never done so. I don’t know if mods or the techies can check this but I invite them to do so if they can. If I felt the need then my comments would probably get at least one ‘like’ much more often than they do.
If you think my comments and ongoing discussions with people constitute your reasonable description of trolling Thomas R., then it is apparent that it is you who has not been paying attention.
You and I have now had a few discussions. Were we both trolling?
For your information “reality,” the difference is that I am not crashing this blog as I am pro-life and fully devoted to its content, but you do fit the definition of a troll precisely because you stand against what this blog promotes and disrupt normal on-topic (pro-life oriented) discussion with extraneous content. Your purpose may be better served at a pro-abortionist blog.
And for your information Thomas R., not all the anti-choicers who post here are as fully devoted to its content as you may be. There are non-believers, those who do or don’t support contraception, evolution, marriage equality,and even some who accept that abortion may be a necessity in certain rare instances. Then there are the political differences between what this site advocates versus what some anti-choicers advocate.
I reject your assertion regarding my content and point out again that you yourself have participated in discussions with me. My presence could almost be said to provide an opportunity for anti-choicers to expand upon their case.
Disagreeing with you, providing opinion which differs to yours, and offering information that you don’t like, might make me a contrary commenter but I think that you’ll find that there are some others whose ‘contributions’ more closely align with what could be considered trolling.
If you’re going to go through life deeming everything that you don’t like or agree with as an unjustified presence then you’re in for either a very secluded or a very sad life.
Your purpose may be better served at a pro-abortionist blog. Read it literally “reality” and please do not put words in my mouth.
We may participate in discussions but thus far neither one of us has had the opportunity to “convert” the other. So what is the point of these exchanges between us Sir? I will never become a pro-abortionist and it seems that you will never appreciate pro-life ideology. Are our exchanges then pointless?
not all the anti-choicers who post here are as fully devoted to its content as you may be. There are non-believers, those who do or don’t support contraception, evolution, marriage equality,and even some who accept that abortion may be a necessity in certain rare instances. Then there are the political differences between what this site advocates versus what some anti-choicers advocate.
And then there are the trolls who support legalized abortion.
You really do yearn for a simple world don’t you.
Given that this is an anti-choice site featuring anti-choice, political and other items, which invites comments and discussion, it could be argued that contrary viewpoints add to the discussion.
And as I pointed out, not all items and discussions relate exclusively to abortion. This creates instances where anti-choicers may agree with pro-choicers and disagree with other anti-choicers. Life’s rich tapestry and all that.
You will note that I am responding to a non abortion related comment of yours on another thread. See?
So those you disagree with on religion or politics or whatever are trolls too Praxedes?
Anyone who expresses a different view to mine I can call a troll?
You do intend to display some consistency don’t you?
Or do I consider your remark an example of trolling?
And then there are the trolls who support legalized abortion.
It’s a shame. I actually held you in higher regard than those who resort to childish name calling as a defence mechanism.
Defence ha, “reality?” Are you joining us from GB? You must not be a from around here since you are using chiefly British variance of defense.
This would actually very well explain your pro-abortionist views.
My guess is he’s poolside in the Caribbean sipping a drink with a little umbrella in it. He’s mentioned being near palm trees. The Bahamas, Reality? Hot or cold?
No Thomas R., not from GB. I spent a very short time there about twenty years ago when I was married to an English lady but that’s it. If you’d been around here for a while you might have noticed that I often swing between US and GB spelling. ‘s’ and ‘z’ for example. The use or non-use of ‘u’ in certain words. This is due to the variety of sources of my reading and studies over the years.
Never been even close to the Caribbean Hans. So the answer is that you are quite cold. Umbrellas are entirely inappropriate for red wine.
Just please don’t say you like fava beans. ;)
Hmm….there’s not some sort of innuendo I’m not aware of in your question is there Hans? ;-)

Did not win an Oscar.
Still the funniest nineties movie, bar none.
Not the best decade, either.
Pssshhh, whatever, that movie was hilarious. “Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself!”
The nineties had some great movies. Mostly Disney movies, but great ones lol.
They also made them before the decade in which you were born, ya know. :)
Oh wait, you’re a whole other year or two older.
Lol. My favorite Disney movie is Robin Hood, and that was made in the seventies. All Disney animated movies are awesome and I force my kids to watch them instead of stupid Dora. Except Pocahontas. I hate that one.
Best animated comedy was Gulliver’s Travels, 1939. Hence the Gravatar. Tied for me with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, 1948. All kinds of musical comedies in the 50’s. Ashamed to say I’ve never seen Some Like It Hot.
The Russians Are Coming! The Russian’s Are Coming! in the 60s. Blazing Saddles in the 70s and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation in the 80s. Everything after too raunchy for me.
Emperor’s New Groove and Robin Hood are the funniest animated movies to me.
Blazing Saddles is hilarious, as is National Lampoon. But nothing beats Airplane! and Anchorman. :)
I saw Airplane! but not Ron Burgundy. I prefer this derailment. Not going to discuss Wendy Davis’ Vogue spread. Yeechh!
Are you talking about the Robin Hood portrayed by a fox? Didn’t see it, but Jungle Book was excellent, with great singing from Louis Prima.
Lol Anchorman is probably not your taste, it’s a bit raunchy and inappropriate lol.
I think her Vogue spread is non-news.
Yes that Robin Hood! The Prince John lion and Sir Hiss (his snake adviser) have seriously the funniest lines ever. And good songs in that movies too. Jungle Book is good too, but when I was a little kid I was terrified of Shere Kahn
Well Reality, and I thought I had uncovered the source of your pro-abortionist views (and Britain seemed an apropos target). I started out the British English route years ago but now it sounds so “silly.”
