There is freedom of the press - but this time it has gone too far. Spreading this footage is offensive towards female politicians and in my opinion is against human dignity.
Insolitus, in what way is it offensive towards female politicians? If it had been Obama or Bush, I'm convinced it would've been on TV too - if not the news, then it would've been on one of those blooper shows for sure.
We humans are strange creatures, we laugh at others' misfortune. We're not laughing because a female politician fell over, we're laughing because someone was caught off-guard and promptly face-planted onto the floor. Very rarely does it matter who the person happens to be.
Dear Mark, please check the above story about the peeing policewoman statue. Maybe my weak attempt at humour will become apparent then.
I've dubbed this "the reverse Ford".
I'm really too young to get or make this joke... but... I like history and people falling over, so...
