Over at Broadsides, Antonia Zerbisias is showing this montage:
HillaryKnows-VerticalStripesSlimTheThighs
Her point is one of sexism, how the media consistently covers Hillary's campaign from a sexist point of view. Fair enough and quite true, but I feel compelled to add - doesn't it say even more about the moronism of punditry these days? I mean, those guys may as well be sporting togas and downing keggers while actual frat boys look on in horrified disgust for all the credibility they bring to the media with their silliness, "Ew. A girl running for President. Let's unzip and wave our peepees at her."
Quite frankly, that montage says everything we need to know about the media and nothing about Hillary Clinton.
But the snippet in there with RevRend Wright preachificatin' about Hillary never having been called a "n*****" is quite the reach, eh? I mean, that's some lack of bonafides, RevRend. And hard to argue with, I guess. (Although, Bill could be kind of a prick, so - who knows?) But nevermind Hillary, how many times has Obama been called a "n*****" I wonder, RevRend? Zero, maybe? Not counting Grammy Obama's daily "Back off my purse, n*****!" of course.
In any case, it really is about sex and race, afterall, I guess. At least, it is to the media. I mean, I realize Geraldine Ferraro is not supposed to say this out loud, "Obama is only where he is in the race because he's black", but surely she can say it without Obama's supporters getting away with, "What? Obama? Black? Oh, well, we hadn't noticed. Geraldine Ferraro must be looking for it, the bitch." Besides, isn't it a good thing for his supporters that Obama's the front runner for the Democrat nomination because he's black? Isn't that the main thrust of their campaign? A black man, not a lightweight inexperienced nobody, could be the next great President of the United States?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be John Edwards running second to frontrunner Hillary Clinton because she's a woman? I mean, who's kidding who here? Dude, when you've got Oprah supporting you with, "He's the one", you're black. And Americans want you to win because you're black. Get over it. Yeah. Life is tough. Try being a woman.
And calling Hillary a "Monster" is some kind of insult? Since when? If I'd been her campaign manager I'd have said Samantha Powers steps down over my dead body. "Monster"? So? Damn straight Hillary Clinton is a monster - that's what some of us like best about her - just like some of Obama's supporters are all over him like cheap suits BECAUSE HE'S BLACK! Woman/monster - I don't care. Elect her.
I mean, what? We can't call a spade a... Uh... nevermind. But yeah, Hillary Clinton is a monster - like all women of a certain age are monsters. Tough nuts. But just what in Gawd's name can explain those pundits in that montage? Eh? Anyone? Anyone?
