What is this obsession with a 'woman' having the intellect to say what is without coating it to win friends and influence people?

I suppose it all depends on the meaning of the word "is".;-) Besides, politics is all about having to win friends and influence people. Ann is great at warming up the choir, but she is not exactly the best evangelist.

LOL. And I mean that in a positive way.

I have not read through the rest of this thread so not sure nor do I really care how the responses are weighing in what direction.

Liberalism is all about the presentation, the packaging, and the emotion of being. It is like a whitewash that needs to continually be re-coated, and some areas needs more coats than others.

Ann is not seeking a political office thus she is like a power washer (I love my power washer) to the ideology of the liberalism whitewash.

I do find it interesting how broadly the spray of the liberalism whitewash is so pervasive throughout the body politic.
