This should be an open thread, under that title, it is so rich with self-contradiction.
(I would think that saying something like that would be akin to - what was it? - claiming an experiential parallel that is, in other contexts, tenuous enough to kick out transfolk or separate gay men from lesbians).
Hilliary stood and took it, right alongside "the boys". I think that was what was said.
There is a swath of folks out there who are unhappy with the way "the boys" get it done - that's how it will resonate, if it does at all.
So, maybe she didn't follow it up enough or do a G.I. Jane and say, "Suck my dick!" to Edwards and Obama. Why would doing so be "feminist"? What if she had cried - or if she ever did? Would she have been a "bad feminist"?
A QUESTION ABOUT OBAMA
AS seems convinced that Obama is more electable than Hilliary in a general against, say, Rudy, mostly because of the polls.
What's going to happen when Rudy starts to paint Obama as a wimp? He's said enough abstract things to do it, right?
Obama has already made some campaign mistakes, that Hillary has not. As we speak the Right is savoring his tax proposals ... ready to rip him up. He doesn't have the policy depth that the Clinton election team has got, whether you like them or not. In another instance, he's on the podium with an odious ex-gay. What if he does something like that again, in another, non-gay context, during the general?
Just saying - the confidence from AS may not align with all the facts.
WATCH THE HANDS
Just look at the body-language and see if it doesn't fit with point-and-shoot:
As an aside, here is AS moving closer to Hillary-derangement-syndrome:
If I had to sit in front of Dick Armey, I'd think trusting, open, forthcoming, and accommodating are not the things I'd think of first. After having made the case for boldness for Obama, AS decries Clinton for "over-reach". ...
Good grief.
It's one thing to support a candidate, it's another to take a mental swim in the lake.
