No. He CC'd a copy of his email to Congressional leaders as well as Politico.com. He's either a bozo, or he has a political death wish.

To those of you who are cheering West's comments, you should probably keep in mind that he's losing independents with his language, and if you'd like to see what happens to people like Allen West, I need only to refer you to the other Florida Congressman who couldn't control his mouth: Alan Grayson.

So women want to be treated just like men in the same situation except when they don't. Got it.

O.K. I said he was stupid when I thought she published it. I retract. My opinion now is that he is extremely stupid.

And, in the House they are saying:

"House Democrats lined up to excoriate GOP Rep. Allen West on Wednesday after he sent an incendiary email to the Democratic party chairwoman calling her "vile" and "not a lady." The head of the Congressional Black Caucus told Fox News on Wednesday that members are "furious" about the incident, saying he's going to speak with the Florida Republican about the matter. Shortly afterward, several female lawmakers held a news conference, at which they called on West to apologize.

"His words were nothing more than personal attacks," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said, adding that she hopes House Speaker John Boehner "disavows" West's remarks. She said it is "very ladylike to speak up for the values that you believe in." Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., also released a statement saying she was "shocked" by the "disgraceful" email. "Instead of engaging constructively in that debate, Representative West chose to resort to unprofessional, vitriolic and offensive personal attacks -- shame on him," she said.

The lawmakers are urging House leaders to rebuke West, though West told Fox News that GOP leaders are "fine" with his actions. "

The narcissism usually translates into a sorry excuse for a woman, and i'm not sure why that is.

I can think of 4 right off the top of my head in the public arena:

1) Hillary Rodham Clinton
2) Theresa Heinz Kerry
3) Sheila Jackson Lee
4) Debbie Wasserman Shultz

Worthless. All of them. And there are MANY more just like them.

You are not qualified to fetch water for any of the people you mentioned.

I'd say alot of the anger in people like Cain, Keyes, West, etc., stems from the fact that, deep down, they know they are tools of white conservatives and that people of their own race can see through their transparent phoniness.

I emailed a link to this thread to my brother...a conservative if there ever was one...and he could not believe some of the comments on this thread.

His reaction is the same as mine..."those people are not conservatives, they are mean, hateful, bigoted and racist people masquerading as conservatives".
Your brother needs to get his sarcasm meter checked.

Who the hell would want to fetch water for anyone, let alone the ones listed. I dont care what some political position some people are. It doesnt make them any better than you or me or the rest of us. And you forget, these people work for us. They are SUPPOSE to be there to do the will of the American people, and good for America. It just so happens, the people he mentioned forgot that. They are doing their own thing, with their own agenda, and it certainly isnt for the betterment of America.

Again, I would NEVER fetch water for those clowns, but I sure as hell would love to splash some in their faces, in hope to wake them from their liberalism disorder.

Or the fact that they are smart enough to see the phoniness in how white Democrats (especially rich Jewish ones) think they know what's best for African-Americans.
