It was about WOMEN - not about lineage - and a pretty good joke. Mira Oct 2013 #59
No it was not about women... Demo_Chris Oct 2013 #61
No, it's not. It's not about how you see it and you are not the target. stevenleser Oct 2013 #70
You are claiming it was simply a coincidence that they ignored every non-dynastic female... Demo_Chris Oct 2013 #85

Aren't you making the point? It's about "The Obama and Clinton families", not women muriel_volestrangler Oct 2013 #66
No, it's not about you or how you see it. It's not aimed at you. stevenleser Oct 2013 #67
I'll repeat the title of the post, since you didn't address it: muriel_volestrangler Oct 2013 #69
LOL, you are overanalyzing a joke that you don't get and is not aimed at you. stevenleser Oct 2013 #72
Pointing out how you disproved your own point is 'overanalyzing'? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2013 #74
LMAO, you're still doing it! stevenleser Oct 2013 #76
