From pornography to 'Desperate Housewives' women being degraded has an entertainment value far greater than men being degraded.
People like Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton a lot more once they were 'broken,' ice queens melted into puddles of vulnerability.
Hillary was America's first lady, photographed smiling in her designer dresses as she oversaw table settings and placements for state dinners, even though she did not care about such domestic piffle and was instead really manuvering to take over huge chunks of domestic policy.
Martha was the first lady of gold leaf designer lifestyle nesting, even though her uber-nest was so scary that her husband flew the coop. Though she was the ulitmate professional homemaker and nurturer, she left her daughter off the list of the things she would miss in jail.
Obviously, many men are uncomfortable with successful women, so when these women are brushed back, alpha men can take comfort in knowing that the alphettes are not threateningly all powerful and that they had better soften those sharp edges.
And what about Condi, who's now being touted for the Republican ticket in 2008? Perhaps she does not need to play the victim to make people feel better about her power because she was never seen as pushing people around and bending them to her will.
She always seems subserviant to President Bush and VP Dick Cheney, a willing handmaiden for their bellicose bidding.

There was a automobile in that picture?
Maybe because she was confident her daughter would visit?
Great parody!
I'll have to memorize it so that the next time that song gets stuck in my head, I can at least change the words.
Fair and balanced, that's MoDo's column! (sarcasm button off)
That's how most of us feel after reading a Dowd column, rapidly losing our brain cells..

Send her to me,

"That's Hedley..."
That windbag! Who in the whole world takes this harridan seriesly!!! She is a hugh maroon! She is a total has-been who is just trying to prop up her plunging career. She whines about not taking women seriously, then snipes at her own "heroes", Hitlery and Maahtha! Who can even tell what point she is trying to make. As for her comments on Condi's "deportment" or fashion style--she will never get it! Condi's boots are made for walkin' and they'll walk all over Mo-tha-DODO!
