Kickass, the doorstop dog, stayed home on Mother’s Day, dreaming about his mother, and wondered about the uproar over the report that the POTUS called a black woman reporter a “bitch.”
In the canine world, of course, “bitch” is a respectable label for any and all female dogs, but as the term is applied to other species, or preceded by “son-of a,” then it takes on negative connotations, which is obviously what the POTUS intended.
More noted for his familiarity with the feline world, where female cats are called “Queens,” among other things, the name-calling POTUS might do well to expand his insult vocabulary to include other species. Cattle and horse and pig female designations — “cow and mare and sow” are too easy and the POTUS needs to look to other species for effective women name calling. There are many examples- “Jenny” for the female ass, “Jill or doe for the rabbit. And then there are the chickens with “hen” and pullet.”
Since name calling is a two-way street, while the keeper and Phyllis sort through the animal world for POTUS label possibilities they pass up the term “rooster” in favor of “capon,” and they choose “gelding” over “stallion” and “bore” over “boar.”
You, Mr. POTUS, are all of those things and more but mostly you are an SOB!
