I thought Bullwinkle was a children’s cartoon character. Didn’t realize he had such a gutter vocabulary. And when it comes to killing real moose, don’t criticize if you eat any type of meat. Been to a factory farm or slaughterhouse lately?

Forget which story, but Fearless Leader was exposed as only the pawn of the real Mr Big, true general secretary of Central Control of Pottsylvania that mean little country, little guy with the huge shadow? seems like a better place for Cheney, with W the guy in the carnival uniform (a lot easier in a dictatorship long as I’m the dictator).

McCain and Palin as Boris and Natasha, I can see the resmblance. Frostbite Falls is their kind of place fer sure. Obama and Biden as Rocky and Bullwinkle, sure. Maybe I would cast McCain as Capt. Peter Wrongway Peachfuzz instead. No, there’s plenty of bumbling military types in the stories McCain could be set as, like the one that sank their elevator car in the Box Top Caper. Can’t see Bill Scott giving Bullwinkle the B-word though, he would have used something far more subtle and effective. “You being smart, moose? -I don’t know, there’s a first time for everything.”

The word is used when someone is really mad at a woman, because the word is referred to a female dog.
_____
To call a person a “dog” is a putdown, without regard to the sex of the dog.
To call someone a “bitch” is a putdown, without regard to the sex of the dog, or of the person.
But if you want to be certain we know the “dog” is female, then go right ahead and be sexist about it.
And be certain, now, to tell us the meaning of “bastard” beyond the fact that it’s intended as a putdown, without regard to the sex of anything or anyone.

Nice to see Bullwinkle in this blog.
As I pointed out some while back,
Palin’s voice is a dead give away that
she is actually a role enacted by June Foray
(the voice of Rocky) Just imagine Rocky
shouting “holy smokes Bullwinkle!” same voice!

“That bad woman shot my cousin Leon!” wouldn’t have the same effect as “Bitch”.
Grow up people! It’s the english language. Used properly, in can incite and inspire.
If you don’t like a certain word or two, great! Don’t use them. But do not use your freedom of speech to attempt to limit someone elses.

When did people become too damn whiny and crybaby to live? It’s a joke, I appreciate it, and I’m proud to be a bitch.
Sexist? How. Anyone can be called a bitch, male or female. And right now, I can think of two people whom it fits…
I love Mr. Fish because he uses the 1st Amendment—whether anyone likes it or not. Therefore, FUNNY!

Mr. Fish gives Bullwinkle Freedom of Speech time. The way the media over-gives cartoon character politicians theirs.

Bitch is an ugly, sexist word and it is unworthy of Truthdig. But, in addition, addition, Mr. Fish is gross and not funny.

This point can be made, with as much humor, without using this sexist b**ch word.
