Clinton Uxor

This article in the Boston Globe is astonishing because the Globe, owned by the NYT, can claim to be among the most liberal moonbat publications on the planet, yet this article seems to be critical in describing how one 6oish woman is being lioness-ized by the media even though she's making contradictory statements from every side of the political spectrum.

Now she’s trying to appeal to older gals who prefer a more traditional role for women. Speak for yourself Marcella. I don’t know any gals, young or old, who haven’t already drunk the Kool-Aid, who support Clinton.

But Jaclyn Friedman, 35, a Boston-area feminist, activist, and writer, said she believes that Clinton has reinforced media stereotypes that hurt women who are in the public eye. Friedman is leaning toward supporting Edwards for his focus on poverty, even though she is pained not to be supporting the female candidate. None of her friends her age are Clinton fans.

"My impression is that most of the young feminists are like, 'Um, no,' " Friedman said.

I’m with you Jackie even though I never was young feminist and am not now an old feminist, just somebody who still has some working neurons. (Don't you just love this diagram?)

Articles portraying Clinton in a bad, or at least, ambiguous light combined with photos of her that are decidedly unflattering, leads me to believe she won’t be the candidate, no matter how much money she has in her war chest.

I think that’s good news for us because even if one of the other candidates land in the White House next year, none of them will be able to inflict the damage that Clinton and her entourage can.

I can't comment on US politics but is " most of the young feminists are like, 'Um, no,' " the best that the Clinton opposition can come up with?

monix,

I don't think the Boston Globe is Clinton opposition. Bush opposition, for sure, but not Clinton opposition.

Also, certainly you should comment on US politics. The magazine that I subscibed to the longest was The Economist just so I could get outsiders' viewpoints.

erp,

I'll be surprised if Clinton is not the democratic candidate. The Globe is too far left to get a good reading.

monix, you should be free to comment on US politics or anything else you please to. In fact, I insist on it.

Young feminists? I'd find it difficult to comment on them because I don't know what they stand for. They aren't facing the same closed conditions that we did and the quote about supporting Edwards, to me, means she isn't politically astute.

bret, my point was that when an article like the one posted appears in a publication like the Globe, it's a weather balloon. I hope you are wrong that she will be the democratic candidate. It’s time the Clintonistas are put to rest, if not with a wooden stake through their hearts, at least with a removal from the world state.
