"And when we set up the nativity scene, we know where to go to find an ass."
Whee! Right on the mark again, Doc. Thanx for an even Merrier Xmas LOL.
Such a great response! Preach!
SO what this guy is say is taht fathers are meaningless, cause see if a male member of congress was expecting a babey (wife, girlfriend, whatever) he wouldn't take any time off to be with teh kid. and cause a new baby in the house dosn't lead to a father being tired and distracted durning the day. I gues we are all suposed to be adsantee fathers.
Hay this could be agisim also. perhapse only people that are passed child bearign ages should be allowed to enter public service, that post menopose women and never for men.
FABULOUS response. I hope the knuckle-dragger gets several copies.
Thanks for the great Christmas present.
Ya gotta respect a man who puts his name on a letter that basically says to everyone he knows, and every employer who will eventually google for his name: "I, Ron Blachut, am an asshole and a douche. I will say stuff like this to your customers, to your employees, to your wife. Don't hire me. Don't associate with me. Leave me alone to my usual frantic masturbation to George Bush/Newt Gingrich slashfic."
What Ron Blachut is truly afraid of:
"If the mothers ruled the world there would be no goddamn wars in the first place."-Sally Field
Mothers in leadership positions might just bring that about.
That and Cindy Sheehan.
We'll just have to disenfranchise mothers at least until we establish a Lebensborn program. Wait, that's already in the pipeline.
Scott:
George Bush/Newt Gingrich slashfic Oh God, now I'm going to have to read some Hagrid/Snape slashfic just to get that out of my mind!
Word.
I'm surprised this fellow was able to pull himself away from his glass of Genesee Cream Ale to write this.
(And I mean no disparagement to that fine ale, it's just a popular brand of "real man's beer" in that part of upstate NY).
It takes a stupid kind of man to write a letter like that.
(Maury Povich voice)
"RON BLACHUT, you ARE an asshole!"
This is the next CD up from mine, and I know of people who worked hard to help Cong. Gillibrand get elected. I've heard only good things about her, and it proves what an insecure, sexist douche the letter-writer is.
Thanks, Jesse, for the great response (and what everyone else above said)!
And to those of you who celebrate it:
Merry Xmas/Happy Holidays/Saturnalia/Yalda/Festivus. 
If medical conditions preclude higher elective office, then I'm sure Ron's next letter to the Stupidtown Gazette will be demanding that cancer-prone Rudolph Guliani and John McCain drop out of the Presidential race. Oh, and Thompson too, if he's still running. Think that Thompson's lymphoma treats itself?
It's only fair. After all, every minute that a hypothetical President McCain is getting cancers snipped off his face is a minute that he's not doing The People's Bidness...not to mention all the suckling at the public teat that treating his war wounds requires.
Nope, they all have too much man-sickness to be president.
Hey Ron, look up the word misogynist.
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
wonder what Ron's verdict would be if she were having a virgin birth?
Holy (Censored!)
That level of stupidity almost distracted me away from putting the roast in the oven!
Ah drat cleter you beat me too it.
Dear Ron Asshat
As all men over age 50 are eventually going to get prostate cancer then obviously they should not be allowed to run for office, and as most men between 18 and 50 are somewhat athletically inclined they run the risk of injuries which would take them away from work so they should not be allowed to run either. Best just to play it safe and state that men should not be allowed to run for office as it's obvious the majority will simply be unable to meet the stringent attendance requirements you propose.
If only there were a post-menopausal woman running for president...I'm sure such a candidate would get Ron Asshat's enthusiastic support. Oh, if only some post-menopausal New York woman were running for something...
Clearly if we take the concept of medical conditions caused by actions of the individual, we will have to ask most, if not all, of our three branches of government to resign. Furthermore, requirements to hold office will have to probably include being a vegan, being an Olympic quality athlete, being an intense meditator, and having absolute control over one's emotions. The wrong foods, lack of exercise, and stupid decisions made emotionally or with a lack of clear thought can be identified as the source of much sickness in America. Throw in breathing and drinking poisons and it looks like all of our government will have to be from, and live, somewhere else.
Let it go Ron. This ain't one you can win.
CAFKIA
Jesse, that was one for the ages. A braying jackass for real. I mean, damn: miserly, mean-spirited, and misogynistic -- what a catch for some lucky lady!
I'll bet you he's also the sort of guy who sees no problem at all with severely wounded vets having to pay back their signing bonuses. After all, as the taxpayer, Ron's the aggrieved party here.
In fact, he reminds me of nothing so much as the Gahan Wilson cartoon where a rancher makes a scarecrow out of the corpse of a recently deceased farmhand, declaring to an aghast onlooker: "He owed me 30 days' wages when he died, and by God, he's gonna work 'em out!"
Gotta love the "Party of Family Values" (English translation: "Hillbillys"!
Da wimmin folk canna have uh rugrat less they uh bearfoot an at home!
Cleter: Thompson has Lymphoma? I thought he was mental.
I read his letter to the editor twice: once out of curiosity, and once so I could whip out my media player so's I could listen to Dueling Banjos while reading that piece of white trash, right-wing, Westboro Baptist Church, buck-toothed, married to my cousin propaganda. I would love to talk to whatever he's married to.
All of the male public figures (Ghouliani, McCain....) who are treated for prostate cancer should be put on furlough until they have been certifiably cancer free for three years.
Two questions:
1. Are we sure that this letter isn't satirical, or a mean joke played at the real Mr. Blachut's expense? 'Cause it's hard to imagine anyone getting that self-righteous.
2. Is that Rep. Gillibrand in the picture? If that's her, well ... she's a hottie.
Nice takedown. Please send it to the same paper that published that asshat's letter.
Sad to say, but in my two years I spent looking for a place to live in upstate NY {77-78} I met too many of these types. I moved to the tropics instead.
Geez, Mr. Blachut (is that pronounced "blackheart"?), I guess we shouldn't expect our tax dollars to go to Senator Tim Johnson, either, to pay for his stroke cuz, well, he was out for a long time. And prostate cancer? Women don't get prostate cancer, so maybe taxpayers should be reimbused a certain amount every time a congressman has to take off for that diagnosis.
Mr. Blackheart, you'd better pray real hard that Rudy or Fred or John don't make it to the White House either.
Neanderthal.
Blachut, blackheart, wev.
Just pronounce it "Grinch" and be done with it.
Great Gobs of Goose Guts, Ron!!!!!!!!
What world are you in???
Great response! What a typical jerk this guy is. Merry Christmas, all!
During a graduation party in high school, word came from a recently arrived guest that there had been a fatal accident close to the house we were partying at. In colossally stupid fashion, a large number of us piled into an emphatically not large automobile and went out "ta see the dead guy."
As we were driving by the scene, it occurred to all of us that what we were doing was completely fucking inhuman and we really ought to be ashamed of ourselves. There was a moment of great discomfort until one of my friends (since succumbed to his demons, RIP, John) leaned out the window, and screamed, "Hey! He owes me ten bucks!" This allowed us to start making fun of ourselves for our ghoulish behavior, and we proceeded to go back to our party, somewhat humbled.
I can see this guy saying that for real.
+1 babies. that guy's an idiot.
We can THANK the newspaper editorial page for allowing that cretin to be published, THAT assured her thousands more in campaign contributions, I know I am going to send bucks her way, how about youall?
If we all railed on any random person's ideas, all we would be doing is complaining all day long. Why are we talking about a random letter to the editor from an obviously tainted person?
ck -
It speaks to something much larger than one person.
It speaks to a culture in which attacking a woman for being a woman is still okay.
It isn't.
The newspaper wouldn't dare print a letter attacking a sitting Congressman for being black.
Yet it dares print this filth.
I -- and at this point, over a hundred blog posts around the country -- am making the point this is unacceptable.
If we don't make the point, the abuse of women leaders will continue. Not on my watch.
But, wait... Does brain damage count as medical?
Just asking, 'cause there's this guy we all know who's been in office for a while now, and he's taken more "vacation" time than anybody else ever has in that position...
Who pays for all that vacation time, anyways?
This has got to be the most bizarre thing that I've read in a long time!
I honestly don't think that I have ever seen this kind of argument against motherhood before:
Congresswomen are not to become pregnant while serving in the House because they're being paid by tax-payers money.
I don't know if that's a completely archaic idea - or if it's something so creepy and Orwellian set in some future dystopian society.
Simply weird.
I thought his kind was extinct decades ago.
Great response.
God, what a mean-spirited fuckhead.
He needs to be told in no uncertain terms to fuck off.
Women, of course, can't have babies and be effective leaders...

Gee, a LTE from a real live nutbag?
Now that's news...
NOT.
So, has anybody tracked this dickhead down and given him a call?
Since he so nicely provided his name and town... and all...
I was proud to vote for Congressperson Gillibrand, and meet her, and donate a little money.
Yes, we have assholes up here, but unfortunately, there are no asshole-free zones.
And if you want some soothing laughs, remember than she ran against a guy who was in the papers for wife-beating (before) and DWI (after) and I wonder if getting arrested should mean HIS pay should be docked... time away from work, ya know...
