Brain Surgeon? Unfortunate Metaphor for the Woman Many See as Nurse Ratched

 

Of all the metaphors he might have picked to praise Hillary Clinton, Joe Scarborough chose the most unfortunate one: that of “brain surgeon.” Because to many people, Hillary brings to mind none other than Nurse Ratched, that cold and domineering figure who subjected one of her charges who wouldn’t fall in line to . . . a lobotomy.

 

On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough actually said “why don’t we try actually hiring a brain surgeon who’s been operating on brains instead of chopping down trees for the past 30 years?”Scarborough put the words in the mouths of Hillary supporters he imagined, but was clearly expressing his own sentiment.
