“The Daily Show” correspondent Kristen Schaal on Wednesday praised the strategic ad campaigns that Republicans have used to target women.
“Republicans have finally figured out what’s most important to women: menfolk,” Schaal told host Jon Stewart. “Women don’t see candidates as potential leaders. We see them as possible soul mates. And Republicans are finally running ads to reflect that.”
Stewart asked her if the GOP thought that women viewed elections as being about getting into relationships.
“No, no that’s insulting and reductive,” Schaal said. “Women don’t just think about getting into relationships, we also think about getting out of them. Like the one we’re in with Obama.”
Stewart wasn’t convinced, but Schaal noted that Republicans had facts to support their ad strategy.
“Face it, Republicans finally figured out how women’s brains work. Science shows that this part right here,” Schaal said, gesturing to her entire head, “is devoted to thinking about relationships, and this small part here is bitchiness.”
“Were those scientists men by any chance?” Stewart asked.
“Yeah. They were scientists,” Schaal said, before dismissively laughing off the idea of women scientists.

Republican outreach has long since been reaching out to the lowest common denominator. We should all be insulted. It’s a party that stays afloat by hoarding the votes of fat old white men and knuckle dragging gun nut types. I’d be surprised if they could ever muster up a nuanced ad that wasn’t the equivalent of a beer commercial or an insult to the people they’re supposedly reaching out to.
The ads are deplorable—you can’t believe anyone with a particle of respect for women or for human intelligence in general had any part in them—but Kristen Schaal is hilariously wiggy-cool so there’s that. Life’s a rich tapestry.
Relationships, phooey! Those are for homos…Real men want their sex the old-fashioned way, with a drunk woman or in a men’s restroom!
Sure, the GOP have women all figured out.
My mother actually asked if the wedding dress ad was real because it seemed too incredibly stupid to actually be a real ad.
