He should have kept those cookies to himself.
A group of abortion rights protesters outside the
Executive Mansion were stunned on Tuesday when McCrory hand-delivered them a
plate of chocolate chip cookies. What
was he thinking? Maybe it was a gesture
suggesting they needed to get back in the kitchen to bake cookie for Beaver.
Maybe he was confused when he saw protesters dressed in
1950s outfits. It was their way to
symbolize days before the burning of bras, and Gloria Steinman co-founding Ms.
Magazine. It may have helped if McCrory had read Steinman's article "After
Black Power, Women's Liberation" which catapulted Steinman as a national feminist
leader.
Did he really think a plate of cookies would silence a
group intent on not going back to the days when patriarchy meant being barefoot
and pregnant?
Or, has Patrick been overly persuaded by pop culture?
Fans of the EMMY Award winning show House of Cards have made the connection.
In the fifth episode, Rep. Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Space, is
confronted by protest from education advocates outside a fundraiser organized
by his wife. Underwood leaves the event
with leftover food and beer.
"Don't take the food. We'll feed you later,"
says the leader of the union.
"Marty, you know that old saying, 'The most
dangerous spot in the world is between a Teamster and free food,' "
Underwood replies.
"I'll take
it!" says one protester, bringing an end to the protest.
Did McCrory think abortion advocates would compromise
their cause for a plate of cookies? That
stuff works on television, but in the real world you’ll find those cookies
stuffed up your ass.
Maybe McCrory is watching too much Sesame Street. Those women dressed like June Evelyn Bronson
Cleaver, Beaver’s mom, shouldn’t be confused to be the Cookie Monster. Wrong show Gov.
A spokesperson for the Gov. says he was just offering
a bit of Southern hospitality. The least
he could have done is bring some milk with the cookies. Better still, it would have been more hospitable
for him to follow through on his campaign promise not to enforce restrictions
on abortion.
Or, he could have answered questions.
Or, he could have at least read the bill before
signing the darn thing.
Oh, did I fail to mention ole Gov. didn’t read the
bill that restricts abortions in North Carolina. What fool would make that
public?
Maybe Art Pope has become for McCrory what Cheney was
for George Dub – Master.
Maybe McCrory is so busy baking cookies that he has no
time to read.
At least he said God bless you, before handing the
cookies over. I’m sure a lot of prayer
went into that decision.
Instead of jamming the cookies up McCrory’s a-hole,
they slipped them under the mansion’s gate with a note requesting women’s
health over cookies.
The governor’s communication director released a
response which said, "Sometimes a plate of cookies is just a plate of
cookies."
Yeah, and sometimes a plate of cookies is an
insult.
It’s hard for me to believe anyone can be that stupid.
Could those cookies be a hidden message to pro-life advocates that he gave them
some cookies to remind them of their proper place? He’ll probably pass out some
fried chicken and collard greens for Rev. William Barber, president of North
Carolina’s NAACP, and protesters at Moral Monday. I wonder how that would go over.
It might help if someone took a look to see if Pope’s
hand is lodged up McCrory’s back like a ventriloquist running things. One thing is certain, McCrory is a dummy.
I bet the cookies were stale.
