Quote of the Night: 'Binders Full of Women'

Romney's one-liner in the Hofstra University presidential debate went viral.

According to the Huffington Post, "the biggest winner during Tuesday night's town hall presidential debate may have been 'binders full of women.'"

Responding to a question about how the candidates would mitigate gender inequality in the workplace, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said  women's groups brought him "whole binders full of women" when he sought to diversify his cabinet as governor of Massachusetts.

The Huffington Post reported that the phrase was mentioned more than 40,000 times in one minute on Twitter, and by the time th debate was over, a "Binders Full of Women" Facebook page had over 100,000 likes.

And check out this Tumblr page of "binders full of women"-inspired Internet memes.

Here on Claremont-La Verne Patch, a discussion on the debate in general touched on the subject.

"Gov. Romney has a tendency to make malapropisms almost as frequently as Joe Biden is reputed to do." wrote Patch Reader William Korn. "This particular one was so silly it has become an instant Internet hit, just like his 'joke' about firing Big Bird."

@Muslim radicals are the problem here. This jihad/war whatever the hell you want to call it, willRead More never end in our lifetime. Ultimately the Muslims will win. Look no further than Europe. Unless there is a full fledged worldwide war, they really can't be stopped. Their numbers are too great. What we are doing in Afghanistan is nothing more than swatting away a bee every time one flies out of the hive. But there are millions still in the hive. Unless we close our borders to people from the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, what happened in Boston will continue. It's not racist to not like Muslims just like it wasn't racist to not like the Russians during the Cold War or Germans during WWII.

Thanks to these two scum brothers, I can no longer transport my hearty meals in my trusty pressureRead More cooker via backpack. As an alternative, I tried to fit a crock pot, but it ruined my backpack zipper and made a meatball/marinara mess inside my backpack; even making way into the USB ports of my laptop. Sorry, tupperware won't cut it. It just gets too hot and eventually leaves a huge welt on my back.
