Binded by the Right 3
Leonard J. Pitts, Jr., considers the undercurrents of Mitt the Flip’s binders full of women and finds himself transported back in time:
When’s the last time any of these boys had a date?
In the world outside their time bubble, women run states and nations, fight fires and litigate cases, perform surgeries and grab rebounds. And yes, they still tend boo-boos and fix meals, too.
Back in time is, natch, where these folks want to be, back in the Never Never Land that never existed of Leave It to Beaver* (never mind that Barbara Billingsley was a working mother).

I liked the episode where Eddie Haskell had trick rubber cheese slices and put it in a sandwich. But don’t remember much else. I woulda bought rubber cheese slices. I did buy a whoopie cushion, onion gum, and those things you put in the end of ciggies to make them blow up in the smoker’s face. That was funny to see when someone was playing pinball and trying to look cool.

Were strong women really a species so exotic the governor needed a native guide to their world? Take the picture of the Bain Capital “guyz”. What Mitt Romney really needed when he was in private school and in college was someone to terrorize him with itching powder in the bedsheets and then to beat him around in the wrestling practice room or playing fields a bit until he slunk off. I went to a kind of upper class snob undergrad school and knew some fellows like him, none of whom got famous. That’s how you dealt with them. I’m not sure it makes people better but it never hurt, I’m sure. For short periods of time, at least, it curbed the reflexive condescension but they were probably still mean to girls.

It’s all about the sperm.
