There was a time when advisers to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) looked abroad for proof that women can get elected to a top leadership role in the modern world: Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister; Angela Merkel, the German chancellor; and Michelle Bachelet, the president of Chile.
But as presidential candidate Ségolène Royal was defeated by a conservative man who had been France's chief law enforcement officer, the Clinton campaign was quick to dismiss comparisons between their candidate and her Socialist counterpart across the Atlantic. "Other than the fact that they are both women, they don't have much in common," said Howard Wolfson, Clinton's communications director.
Words fail.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.."
And if Segolene had won, the MSM would be all over the place comparing her to Hillary and insinuating that if France elects a woman president, so should the U.S.
"Hill-ar-eie? Oui - she is.....how you say.....my heroine!"
I would like to see her trying to speak to French crowds.
"Le 35 hour workweek -- es Magnifique! "Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi Ce Soir? Itchy itchy ya ya ga ga!"
Maybe Segolene should have tried an Algerian or Sudanese accent during the campaign, ala Hillary’s ‘Southern Fried’ Ebonics.
"Give me what I want. I won't go away."
Hillary is doing her best Chairman Mao impersonation with that outfit.
Nope.
Oh yes she is or we would not have her lackeys like Wolfson and the other Butt kisser making statements that she is not like Royal.
You can always tell when you hit the nail on the head with these left wing loons they squeal like stuck pigs
Boy, I hope Hill-Dog's handlers don't shove her into a bikini.
"Unlike Royal, who emphasized her charm and femininity rather than her strength on foreign policy, Clinton has proven her national security bona fides, her advisers said."
What national security bona fides????? She had just publicly admitted that she was wrong on the most important national security issue (dealing withIraq) she was faced in her official capacity as US Senator.
Makes me wonder are there anybody who is not crazy around her?
The successful women were conservatives. The losers socialists. It is the best comparison.
“Boy, I hope Hill-Dog’s handlers don’t shove her into a bikini.”
Put her with Fat Teddie in a bikini as well. We’ll all need National Healthcare.
You are absolutely correct.
We’d be seeing a tidal wave of MSM affection for women’s leadership.
Did they send Carville to France to campaign for Royal?
“My butt is THIS BIG!”...........
