WOE / Wae

War on Executives:

Romney charges Obama with "real war upon women".

Hides behind women against women.

WOE to woe-men!

Or War Against Evidence:

I am not saying that the Republicans are waging a war on women or that Democrats are not saying it. I am saying there are two questions which I will not answer, who started the war and who started calling it a war? I am also saying that I have not found the evidence in the links attached here, and suggesting that there is a war no matter who calls it a war or who started calling it a war.

I have yet to find who started the claim that there is a war on women. I am not saying that I don't believe that Obama could have used the term*, I just haven't found it.**

* war on women, war against women, war for women...'s votes.

[Google of the Day? Is it an anomaly that Steve Benen on Rachel Maddow Blog is the second hit for the question. "When did..." re-framed as "Has President Obama said there is a war on women?" Third Frame: "Obama talks about war on women." Fourth fishing trip? No War on Women. WOW! ]

[OK, I have an un-Warren Ted side trip, and not a cheat sheet. But just to be clear**]

[Jumping in the Lakoff! But Republicans cannot win the VFW.(Victory for Women or Victory from Whining.) It is a victory for wordplay.]

< Speaking of victory for wordplay, Thom Hartmann takes on the West word Hoe[!] >

** added 4-13-12 (** that is) Haven't found the President using the term but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is quoted using it without full context in the CSM.

** Follow up?
