The Bitch America Needs
NY Times ^ | 9/10/16 | ANDI ZEISLER

**SNIP**

The fact that “bitch” has become both an epithet and an honorific for Mrs. Clinton has turned out to be one of the least weird things about this election year. In a race that is indelibly colored by gender and sexism, it’s also potentially transformative. Few of the women who choose to venture into the male-dominated sphere of American politics are hothouse flowers, of course, but Mrs. Clinton’s long journey to the center of presidential contention mirrors a larger impatience with a time-honored tradition of going along to get along. This is not just in politics either: From film stars to athletes to teenage activists, outspoken women from all arenas are increasingly visible, much to the concern of sexists everywhere.

**SNIP**

For more than 20 years in American politics, Mrs. Clinton has embodied what we might call Classic Bitch. She’s perceived as an interloper who challenges or threatens masculinity, entitlement and a status-quo worldview; she’s the scandal magnet who can seem as heartless and venal as any old-boy’s-club member. Worst of all, she’s the woman who accepts that she will be disliked and carries on anyway.

Let’s just leave it that the NY Times calls Hillary a BITCH and neglect to read the rest of it—presumably explaining why being a bitch is a good thing!

The Gray Lady has certainly fallen off her pedestal into a gutter not even shared with Fleet Street tabloids.

So she wants to be the first bitch American President? Too bad, obama already did that.

Well, we need words that are unconditionally an epithet. How about "Traitorous Crook".

It’s about what one would expect from the Gay Mafia that is the NYT editorial page.

Not only is she a “bitch”, she’s also in terrible health and mentally unhinged.

While Hillary is certainly a bitch

what she mostly is is crooked.

tried to read this smorgasbord of cool-sounding words strung together in a fashion that they make then syntactically correct sentences, but otherwise after a few words started sounding like “blah, blah, blah”, at which point both my eyes and brain glazed over, and I gave up trying to read such content-free trash.

The point of the article is that it takes a real BITCH like you know who to get things done. Of course.
