As I like to say (I enjoy my own tropes, and why not? What's a blog for?), the Clintons are regularly excoriated as being willing to do anything to win by people who will do anything to lose.Falstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543557291381143262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364980587788164382.post-42496792710179020972008-06-04T11:27:00.000-04:002008-06-04T11:27:00.000-04:00Dowd says, not for the first time, that Hillary ha...Dowd says, not for the first time, that Hillary has been trying to emasculate Obama. Wasn't it Dowd who came up with "Obambi"?<BR/><BR/>Here's a depressing discussion of potential Dem VP picks (http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/6/2/192249/5233). The post is a good round-up of instances of sexism and why Hillary supporters' grievances need to be addressed. The comments make me feel old. First, people keep talking about "why Hillary lost." Nobody mentions that more people have voted for her. Then there's the debate over whether Hillary "lost" because of sexism. Nobody brings up the long-ago-laid plan to run the Clintons out of the Party by cultivating one representative of the Dem constituency at the expense of another. (Obama himself thought he was too junior, but Daschle told him now was the time, before he had a record.) They knew what it would take to knock her out: divide and conquer. The sexism wasn't a reason, but a tactic.<BR/><BR/>Finally, there's no mention of Brazile et al.'s declarations that traditional parts of the FDR coalition are no longer necessary, to be supplanted by "creatives." (Which seems to mean anybody who works at a computer, so far as I can tell.)<BR/><BR/>Yeah, we're going to see a lot of feces-flinging-monkey behavior. As Anglachel said, it's a grievance to men that women can compete for their jobs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739294723464687824noreply@blogger.com
