Sausage Fest on Morning Joe: "Chicks dig rock stars"

[Hello_Kitty]

It's Joe, Tom Brokaw, and a couple of other dudes. Mika wasn't even there for decoration. James Taylor was brought up and Joe mentioned how he'd dated or been married to Carole King, Carly Simon, and Joni Mitchell.

"Chicks dig rock stars," observed one of the dudely sausage-bearers. I think it might have been Brokaw but I was looking at my laptop.

Ummmmmm....all of the aforementioned "chicks" are successful musicians in their own right!!!

But they were involved with some dude who made music, which automatically downgrades them to the state of groupie, I guess.

Sexism in the morning. Gotta love it.

1. Interns love Joe...

Not!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. that's a dead end topic.

Glad I missed that part.

Pity I saw him with Sen. Coburn. Talk about repulsive morning teevee

[marylanddem]

2. And they're all amazing songwriters, too. You're right, very sexist.

[Atman]

3. "Sausage fest?" And you're whining about sexism?

Funny place, DU!

[Hello_Kitty]

4. I bet you think "reverse racism" is a big problem too. eom

[Threedifferentones]

5. Haha

Didn't you get the memo? Since sexism against men is not deeply ingrained in our society, and has never been legalized or institutionalized, it cannot possibly exist or ever be a problem!

Yes, if a man had made a similar comment about how there are no men in the "taco fest" on The View they'd be flamed, but double standards are just a part of equality! Errr, wait...

7. 'cept them illegals messikan murikans

[trumad]

8. OH SHUT UP!

Fucking whiny ass men.

[Threedifferentones]

11. Nice argument, I really see your point.

Sexism against women is deeply ingrained into most every society on Earth. Regardless of our sex, our culture teaches us that women are meant to be sexual objects and possessions that go to the most successful and powerful men. Women are successful if they are desired by men, and ought not to focus on their own skills or abilities beyond physical vanity, and perhaps cooking and cleaning.

This is why open minded people every where rail against patriarchy.

That does not mean talking about sexism and a "sausage fest" is not ironic.

Fucking simple minded PEOPLE can't seem to make this distinction, as this thread makes clear.

9. Sounds more like a

"Vienna sausage Fest" with that panel. :rofl:

[geardaddy]

16. Or "Li'l Smokie-fest"

[guitar man]

19. LOL

:rofl:

[bridgit]

10. What could dweeby dudes on Morning Joe possibly know about rock & roll

[arcadian]

12. I can't stand James Taylor

I hate that 70s soft folk muzak.

[bridgit]

13. Yeah that too, I think rock star I think *maybe* Nicky Sixx and not so James Taylor...

[Atman]

14. Exactly. James Taylor is a "singer," or a "musician," but he's no "rock star."

Folk is folk. A couple of up-tempo radio hits don't make you a rock star.

[NashVegas]

15. I'm Not a JT Fan, But You Know What?

I've got to at least give him credit for choosing women who bring the goods to the table over women who get their on their backs. ie, the typical groupie.

(I know, it's bad. I'm smarting.)

[geardaddy]

17. Excellent point. They are all as or more accomplished musicians

in their own right than JT.

And JT's hardly a rock star.

[NeedleCast]

18. Just a bunch of Sperm Doners

Lulz. Sausage Fest and Sausage-bearers.

You win at irony.

[Matariki]

20. More like James Taylor digs rock stars.

And to Tom Brokaw, et al: Are you from the past?

[geardaddy]
