Ecclestone the Idiot

F1 president and colossal dumbass Bernie Ecclestone said to the media this week that Indycar circuit’s Danica Patrick should “dress in white, like all the other domestic appliances.” Then he called Danica, presumably to apologize for comparing her to a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, and instead repeated the comment. Whaaaaa?

Bigot Bernie also said that no female would ever succeed in racing, and if a woman did make it, "she would have to be a woman who was blowing away the boys. ... What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish."

I’m redlining here…my confusion/annoyance mixture must be too rich.

She's good.

I suspect her talent will shut up the fools.

I read a comment from Kathy Valentine last week (GoGo's bass player).

She has a solo record out and she put some tracks on garageband.com

Of the many comments she received, a number focused on the guy playing the guitars and how good he was.

Of course Kathy is the one playing the guitars.

Her response "I especially get a kick out of it when a reviewer assumes the guitarist is a male!!"

I guess the lesson is. Ignore the idiots and show them what you can do.

And by "blowing away the boys", I'm sure what he really means is "Blowing the boys". *head explodes in rage*

Don't take the jerks comments to heart....he probably says nasty things about men that he feels threatened by as well. People like this just are fearful of the competition, and attack them verbally because they have no cojones!Bet this guy's a eunich!

Well, you do know why Helen Keller was a bad driver don't you?

Because she was a WOMAN!
