No, Brooke, Seriously, Shut Yer Piehole

I mean, I guess I should be somewhat relieved that anyone who would choose that outfit doesn't vote, but Brooke Hogan's latest bit of stupidity is so appalling that it overshadows all my happiness that she isn't involved in the electoral process.

Brooke's got a new show on VH1, called, of all things, Brooke Knows Best.  (Although, as I said to Sweetney when we saw a preview recently, she is kind of the smartest Hogan.  And now I want to cry.)  During an on-camera meeting with a potential new roommate, Brooke gave the following fucking brilliant answer to the question of who she'd be voting for in the presidential election:

You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ‘cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?

Mmkay.  Brooke?  You're really in no danger of running any country, anywhere, ever, so please don't lose any sleep over that.  And while I appreciate you taking on the job of representative of all people with uteri, I'm going to have to ask you, again, to please stop talking, in general, but specifically to please cease and desist with the speaking for women.  The fact that you're a nitwit who can't control the way she talks to people has much less to do with your hormonal situation than it does with the situation of your being the spawn of a guy who calls himself Hulk, channels Bret Michaels through his hair, and thinks it's a good idea to apply suntan lotion to your teenage ass.  I mean, it's not your fault; anyone with your parents could be expected to be a fucking idiot.  But please stop projecting your dysfunction onto my uterus, thanks.

That outfit makes me cry.

Why do morons like her keep getting TV shows? The pants, or what's left of them...just no.

Ok, I have a feeling that I'm going to catch hell for this, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Yes, she's an idiot for saying that on TV. Especially because the people who watch her and (shudder) look up to her, may see it as no big deal to vote, and that women are hysterical nutcases.

However, at least she didn't say this in a real interview (say on GMA or something), where I think it would hold more weight. Here, it sounds more like "please like me, I'm just a normal, slightly ditzy girl who just wants to be liked, and have a cool roommate... because if I come sounding intelligent, they may not renew my show."

The latter, which, yeah, gah!, my heart weeps for still playing the "ditzy/stupid girl" card to get liked, but I'm hoping that more girls are educated towards the fact that that hand isn't impressing anyone these days.

Yeah, I think if we can run a fucking household with screaming children, one of us can run a country filled with entitled brats who have no appreciation for the sacrifice of their fore-mothers. (What the hell did she think happened while all the mens were off to war? The women just sad and ate Ben and Jerry's waiting for someone with a brain to help them?)

I SAW THIS TOO AND I COULD BARELY KEEP IT TOGETHER. I was like, is she joking? A lame attempt at sarcasm to scare off the girl who admits to watching CNN and finding out what's going on in the world around her, but then I thought, prob. not.

As far as The Muse's take - possibly, but hasn't the market been over sarturated to the point of backlash of dumb/ditzy blond soundbites? Dumb is still in?

[BaltimoreGal]

My problem, like I've said, is that I don't get why we celebrate stupidity by giving people like the her, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, etc. TV shows? Don't get me started on The Hills or that Kardashian show.

When's the next space shuttle do for take-off. Because I'm thinking...perhaps the entire Hogan family should be on it. And - OOPS! - the astronaut in charge might just have to *accidentally* leave them in outer-fucking-space!

Question: Why is the picture above NOT scheduled for a Caption of the Day????

[Tracy]

wow. Totally missed that comment, because when I momentarily paused on VH1 while her how was on, my husband went into an immediate convulsing seizure demanding that I turn it because the mere sound of her voice was so abhorrent.

So. I guess it's not just us women who have emotional reactions. Hrm.

[Jenny H.]

I think the bigger question should be WTF IS SHE WEARING AND WHO LET HER PUT IT ON?
