Pagliuca on Women’s Bodies:
Square Butts, Yea!
Reality, Nay!

Does it surprise me that Pagliuca called a press conference to announce that he will be a reliable vote disregarding women?   Nah.  No surprise.  Pagliuca proved his lack of concern for women when he condoned objectifying women’s “square butts” to sell hamburgers.  We wrote about it here in September, when Pagliuca had entered the senate race but hat not yet resigned from the Burger King Board. 

So, thinking this logic through:  In Pagliuca’s value system it’s fine to use and objectify women’s bodies for profit.  However, should any of those women’s bodies turn out to be not objects after all, but human beings in need of complete health care, please don’t bother him with that reality.
