get on a show and counter what those SAFE
bitches said on Winfred Opry's show.
Shivers ran down his spine as Rose introduced him, "Mr. Crowe Magnon,
welcome."
He froze for a moment. Her voice sounded somewhat cheerful. Is she
mocking me? It doesn't matter. I can't do anything about it now.
He forced his right foot forward and then his left. Remember to smile.
Wearing his most gracious smile, he soon shook Rose's warm, welcoming
hand with his cool, sweaty one. As he sat down, she inspected her hand and
wiped it on her pants.
"Well, I'm really glad you could join us. It's not every day we get favored with a Republican guest, let alone one of your background and stature."
Answer her you fool. "Ah yes, Rose, I'm looking forward to it. After a while, you get tired of all the scripted questions and answers at Wolf News."
Rose seemed to think about what he said for a few seconds then gazed at
him and smiled. "Well, we're glad to have you with us. Let me ask you, was there anything I just said that you would like to correct or comment on?"
Damn, I didn't pay attention to the liberal pabulum she just spouted. She did say war on women . "Only that this so-called war on women is a fabrication." Crowe paused to scratch his suddenly itchy nose."
Rose posed a gotcha grin. "Really, there's no war on women?"
He sighed and continued, "Let me state categorically, there is no Republican war on women."
"Ow!"He reached for his nose and squeezed it—hard.
Rose looked on, confused, but sympathetic. "Are you all right?" he told me that regardless of ability, the odds were with the male candidate and they'd not only back him, they'd do everything to thwart my effort if I ran against their
wishes.
Holding his nose, he replied in a chipmunk voice, "I think so. I just had a pain shoot through my nose. I'm sorry."
"That's okay. As long as you're okay."
All of a sudden, he recalled what Karol Rogue had said to him the day
before. Just deny 'the war on women' until your nose begins to grow. "Does my nose look the same?"
"What do you mean?"
He shrugged. "I don't know. Is it red, did it, maybe get any bigger, any
longer?"
"Longer? No. Not that I can tell. Do you feel like continuing?"
Crowe nodded. "Certainly."
"Okay, let's move on. You claim there is not a war on women."
"That's right." Crowe's nose tingled.
Rose rolled her eyes as she smiled. "Okay since there's no war on women,
how do you explain the continuing hostility toward equal pay for equal work
laws by republican legislators?"
He shrugged again. "Beats me. Must be coincidence."
Crowe could tell Rose wasn't buying it, the way she pursed her lips and
glanced off to the side. "Do you know what many law enforcement officials say?"
"Not really."
"They say there is no such thing as coincidence."
"I can't help it. That's the only explanation."
"Fair enough. Is it a coincidence that most Republican legislators want to
defund Planned Parenthood?"
Crowe scratched the bald top of his head then ran his fingers through his shaggy mane. "Probably."
"Okay. What about the fact that the House passed a bill aimed at Women's
contraception, which would make everyone's healthcare subject to the whim of
their employers."
Crowe gritted his teeth when he reflexively shrugged a third time. "It's the only explanation."
Rose leaned forward. "And is it a coincidence when these legislators write
these bills? Something, maybe a republican male imp who hates women, takes
over their mind and makes them write and write? And, when they finish, voila, they have a bill requiring a trans-vaginal ultrasound for any woman who needs
an abortion. And, this miraculously not only happens in Texas, but Virginia,
North Carolina and even Pennsylvania.
"Or maybe they have an epiphany and write a 'Personhood' bill, which
states that a woman's egg becomes a person at the moment of conception, or
when they create a seventy-two hour waiting period for an abortion to proceed
or a twenty week
