Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Washington Post

South Carolina state Sen. Thomas Corbin reportedly explained that you can make fun of women because “Well, you know God created man first. Then he took the rib out of man to make woman. And you know, a rib is a lesser cut of meat.”

I have a beef with this line of thinking. I would like to shank him or knee him in the tender loin. This is a grisly thing to say, and I don’t want to meat cute. I never heard such a thing, or sausage a thing.

was hoping I'd see this filed under humor... wapo not letting me be blissfully ignorant about the stupidity that's out there
 
"I didn't mean that."
"My quote was taken out of context."

Can we just speed up the eventual ending of this?
 
Man my state is fucking killing it.

Still, he fucked up. People here won't hate him for being a misogynist, they'll hate him for his horrible taste in food. For one of the fattest states in the union, that's worse.
 
From the comments....

I wrote to Sen. Corbin after reading about his comments and I wasn't particularly nice in my remarks, either. Less than TEN minutes later, I received this reply from him. It would be nice to do some fact checking before slamming someone.
Dear Judi,

Thank you for your email. The article in the news blog was very misleading. Probably because it was second hand information. Senator Shealy and I were desk mates for two years and we are good friends. She and I were joking in front of the whole table about a myriad of things. I suppose something got misconstrued. As I said, we are friends. In fact, we had lunch together just this week. Lastly, as a Christian, I believe God created all of us equally. Sorry for the confusion. I truly thank you for your concern.

Senator Tom Corbin
District 5

Maybe you need to get a second opinion, such as from the victim.

COLUMBIA, SC (AP) -- South Carolina's only female senator says a Republican colleague made upsetting, sexist remarks to her at a dinner that she hopes he never says again.

Republican Sen. Katrina Shealy of Lexington said Friday that Sen. Tom Corbin of Travelers Rest referred to women as a "lesser cut of meat" while they dined with others Tuesday. She said he was referring to rib meat, after saying God made Eve from Adam's rib.

She says Corbin thinks such comments are an ongoing joke between them. The two sat beside each other in Senate chambers for the last two years.

But Shealy says she's told him repeatedly it's not funny. She said Tuesday's comments went too far and she made it clear she deserves respect.
 
Come on this is so over the top it is funny.

I am cracking up just thinking about a politician in the land of PC saying this.

Edit: the fact that he is so clueless and thought he and she was sharing a joke takes it up a notch further. This is straight out of a sit-com.
 
Honestly, I'm not surprised anymore.

You have no idea how hard these idiots make it to be an American overseas.

It's rather embarrassing.
 
Ribs are terrible so his logic is sound. Carry on, SC State Senator, Tom Corbin.

You're terrible, and ribs are great.

You know what's really terrible? Tenderloin. Overpriced and underwhelming.
