Do Not Come For the Divine Miss M

Last month, Bette Midler called out ALLEGED Democrat, Senator Joe Manchin in a tweet that also badmouthed West Virginia:

“What Joe Manchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.”

Now, there was a backlash because, clearly, not everyone in West Virginia is a low-income addle-brained meth head and so Midler went back to Twitter to apologize, and also take on Manchin again:

“I apologize to the good people of [West Virginia] for my last outburst. I’m just seeing red;  Joe Manchin and his whole family are a criminal enterprise. Is he really the best WV has to offer its own citizens? Surely there’s someone there who has the state’s interests at heart, not his own!”

Well, this week, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice gave his State of the State speech and went after Midler himself. He held up his bulldog Babydog—seriously, this is what a grown man calls his dog—turned her rear end to the cameras and said:

“Babydog tells Bette Midler and all those out there, ‘kiss her hiney.’”

Oh snap … except Bette Midler has zero fucks to give either Manchin or Justice; she retweeted a picture of the stunt with the caption:

“Here we can see a dog’s asshole. Right next to it is the butt of Jim Justice’s dog.”

And then to prove her point, she Tweeted this:

BTW, here are the state rankings of all the areas and agencies for which the so-called ‘Governor’ of [West Virginia], Jim Justice, is responsible. Judging from these rankings, I’d say his dog’s ass would make a better Governor than him!”

Do not come for Midler unless she sends for you.

  1. I just cannot understand why the governors of low ranking states do NOT want more for the people living in their states. Is it because an educated electorate would probably see through their lies?

    But no doggy should be abused like that.

  9. WV has a few little artsy towns with educated people, and I, for the life of me, can't see how they can stand to live in that state.

    I think these kinds of politicians over promise and under deliver and the people keep buying it.
    Shame on all of them.

    @TDM
    It was a stunt to take away from the fact that Midler did make a valid point.

    @Debra
    She will, and I’m here for it.

    @Dave
    It’s a verbal bitch slap.

    @Treaders
    She has zero fucks to give.

    @Maddie
    I love her for speaking up and out and loud about the state of this country. We need more voices like hers.

    @canoetoo
    It is laughable, indeed.

    @whkattk
    She’s fully armed!!

    @Anne
    I guess they hope for change, but you gotta change the voters to do that!

  11. Bette is absolutely fabulous.
    Love. And her lack of fucks to give. WV is in dire need of progress. I should know. I went to college in Morgantown.
    Ugh. Backwards states are the worst and work against their best interests.

  13. You gotta love Bette! I am always amazed by the red states capacity for denial. But then, to live in ignorance is to be ignorant. So I suppose it comes easy to them.

  14. Frankly, I'm shocked West Virginia ranks at 18 for "opportunity," whatever that means. Seems overly optimistic.
