Don Fowler, you may recall, was featured in a video I shot and posted about a week ago. He was laughing about the hurricane headed for New Orleans, citing it as evidence of God favoring Democrats.
Now his wife, Carol Fowler, has stuck her own foot in her mouth. Earlier today, Fowler the Mrs. said that John McCain has chosen a running mate whose “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Yes, that’s actually what she said. On the plane from Denver, Don Fowler remarked that Palin is “Dan Quayle on steroids” and said “the fact that she is a female” is her only qualification. His wife has added a second qualification to the list.
When told that McCain’s support among white women increased after the announcement of Palin, the charming Mrs. Fowler replied, “Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway.”
When next you hear a Democrat inadvertently say what they mean, just refer to it as “committing a Fowler”.
South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson demanded an apology today:
“Carol Fowler’s statement is offensive, outrageous and - most importantly – dead wrong. Governor Sarah Palin is a strong pro-life, pro-family reform-minded conservative with meaningful experience whose message has resonated in South Carolina. Fowler’s statement is born out of desperation from a campaign that is sputtering across the South.
“Carol Fowler should immediately apologize. Her remarks are unbecoming of a party leader and demonstrate poor judgment. Carol Fowler and Barack Obama are eager to smear – not ready to lead.”
Katon Dawson, you may have noticed, is awesome.
Just as Don finally had to “apologize” for his laughing at the prospect of suffering in New Orleans, an apology has been dragged from his wife for her offensive comments as well.
“I personally admire and respect the difficult choices that women make everyday, and I apologize to anyone who finds my comment offensive. I clumsily was making a point about people in South Carolina who may vote based on a single issue. Whether it’s the environment, the economy, the war or a woman’s right to choose, there are people who will cast their vote based on a single issue. That was the only point I was attempting to make.”
That’s her apology? “I was trying to make fun of the hicks in my state, thank you very much!” The Fowlers are almost as bad at apologies as they are at commenting on current events.
That was no apology!
The_Rebel Wednesday, September 10th at 8:32PM EDT (link)She only apologizes to anyone who finds her comment offensive. What sane person wouldn’t find it offensive? After they have been caught, they always have an excuse about the point they were making.
In 2002 Trent Lott made this apology:
That apology was not enough and he continued to be pilloried by the dems, so much so that it cost him his majority leader post.
It’s only fitting that the SC chairwoman of the Democrat party be made to resign her post as well.
Poisoned Well
John Steele Wednesday, September 10th at 9:28PM EDT (link)Whatever the outcome of this election we are in for four more years of insults and invective. Our “friends” on the left side of the aisle continue to poison the well and I’m not certain there is a way back.

Why would God invent something like whiskey? To keep the Irish from ruling the world of course.
I think at this point it would be
Wintergreen Wednesday, September 10th at 9:32PM EDT (link)best to ignore the insults for a day and go on the offensive on the issues.
Obama’s Jimmy-Carter crap needs to get exposed. He’s making wild promises to everyone and we can’t even come close to affording them, especially just by soaking “the rich.”
We also need an ad showing the comments he made against the bridge to nowhere and then showing that he voted for it anyway.
Open Mouth, Insert Foot
redstinbluecounty Wednesday, September 10th at 9:33PM EDT (link)You would think that Mrs. Fowler could see that her husband still has a shoe in his mouth. But, I guess she couldn’t help herself.
Here’s a shovel, Dems! Keep digging!!!
Bitter Clingers
Big Apple Infidel Wednesday, September 10th at 9:48PM EDT (link)Obviously the Fowlers are a couple of elitist liberals bitterly clinging to their misguided ideology and hatred of everyday Americans.
Greetings from occupied territory!
not absent so long you failed to detect leftists in SC
Mike gamecock DeVine Wednesday, September 10th at 9:49PM EDT (link)So many naive conservative dems are in denial about the leftists in the seat next to them.
I know the Fowlers from my 18 years in the dem party. I know some very well as they are from Spartanburg.
But be warned all: Not all leftists in SC are named Fowler.
beware

Vitriol
James Lagnese Wednesday, September 10th at 10:42PM EDT (link)So far, the only people hurt by this have been the democrats. The only thing I think they are counting on is that if they keep repeating this crap, that eventually people will start believing it. I haven’t seen that happen yet, but if it does, then we are doomed. Never underestimate the stupidity of some people. Then again, if she does well on interviews, on the campaign trail, and in the debates, it won’t matter what people say, as they’ll see it for what it is. If they dems were smart, they’d drop it. The press too. I guess they like controversy more than their politics.

Why isn't Fowler raising foreign bribes?
johnt Thursday, September 11th at 9:55AM EDT (link)He and co-chairman of the DNC Chris Dodd did so well in !996 you would think he’d be back for a reprise. It was only his country that he, Dodd and Clinton were selling out.
At one point Fowler cried in public because of this, one would hope in shame. Guess he and his equally vulgar wife have gotten over it.
Apart from the notable corruption of both Fowlers and the transitory nature of what should be an undying shame, what stands out from their comments is a remarkable stupidity.
