Let it be said
that this poet
is no great fan
(to say the least)
of Fox News pundit
and host of the first Republican debate
in Cleveland Ohio
Megyn Kelly
but she struck a chord
when she told Trump
"You’ve called women
you don’t like
fat pigs
dogs
slobs and disgusting animals"
mentioning his making fun
of women's looks on Twitter
and the time he told
a Celebrity Apprentice contestant
that it would be
"a pretty picture
to see her on her knees"
and concluded with
"Does that sound to you
like the temperament of a man
we should elect as president?
And how do you answer the charge
from Hillary Clinton
that you are part
of the war on women?"
And Trump
rather than claiming those comments
were made in anger
or as a joke
or by some version of himself
swayed to nastiness
by the left-wing media
instead embraced them
and said
"I think the big problem
this country has
is being politically correct."
In an interview with CNN's
Don Lemon on Friday
he made the perfectly innocuous comment
"You could see
there was blood
coming out of her eyes
blood coming out
of her wherever."
(Of course he meant
her nose.)
It was so innocuous
that Trump was uninvited
by longtime Fox News contributor
Erick Erickson
from the RedState Gathering
in Atlanta
and Kelly was invited
in his stead.
