Remember the old days when candidates running for president wanted to out-macho each other? It was really not that long ago when Beta Male Al Gore hired feminist writer Naomi Wolfe to teach him how to appear more like an Alpha Male. (Naomi’s expert advice: earth tones.) Today the debate seems to be about who is more of a woman and, just as important, who will capture the women’s vote in decisive-enough numbers, first in the primaries and then in the general election. Remember in the 2004 election, women made up 54 percent of the electorate and in several states independent women voters were the key to President Bush’s victory.
Last week Elizabeth Edwards, who is getting more out-front each day as her husband’s campaign wilts, got downright snappish about Hillary’s pushing and pushing the woman thing. Mrs. Edwards sniped, “I’m for the promotion of all women,” she told an audience in New Hampshire. “I’m not just for the promotion of one of us.” She went on to say, “Keeping that door open to women is actually more a policy of John’s than Hillary’s.”
Hillary was shrewd enough not to get into that cat fight. She let Bill unsheathe the claws and purr back to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning, America. “If you look at the record on women's issues, I defy you to find anybody who has run for office whose got a longer history of working for women, for families, and children, than Hillary.” ...................................
If she wins the primaries and is certain of the nomination I predict there will be some big changes. No more girlish giggles punctuating her speeches. No more goo-goo eyes and handholding with Bill. He will be probably be put under home confinement in Chappaqua.

I know we aren’t supposed to say mean things about the cancer lady but she’s a nasty piece of work, always has been.
Barak means “blessed” in Arabic.
I thought “barak” in Arabic meant “lightning.”
The last thing Vince Foster saw.
Why oh why isn’t this woman spending her last months on earth with her babies? If her husband’s political fortunes take precendence over her children, who are no doubt either in the “care” of babysitters or dragged along the campaign trail in planes and busses, during their mother’s last days, is selfish beyond words.
Just wait until Edwards starts appealing to the Arousal Gappers with visions of a young, attractive widower in the White House, in dire need of mothering and affection.
Tacky and bad taste is only the beginning!
After Chelsea Clinton returned from a date, Hillary asked her if she had a
good time.
Chelsea said she had a wonderful time and she thinks she’s in love.
Hillary said, “You didn’t have sex, did you?”
Chelsea said, “Not according to Dad.”
The Rat “male” (nominally, of course) Presidential candidates are such pussies, their women have to do all the fighting for them.
Edwards is a guy who supports abortion but once tearfully “channeled” the ghost of an unborn child in court to win a big case. Nothing the Edwards duo would do would surprise me.
And don’t forget Al Gore’s 1996 speech in which he described his sister’s slow, horrible death from lung cancer in 1984. He claimed that that was the moment when he dedicated himself to destroying the tobacco industry. Yet it turned out that not only did he continue to vote pro-tobacco in the Senate right up until he assumed the vice-presidency in 1992, but it 1988 he spoke at a tobacco industry meeting and bragged about how pro-tobacco he was. Democrats are just shameful.
hee-hee :-)
cleverly = clever
I’m still laughing at Hillary’s lame cleavage on the Senate floor....
The Red Jezebel is jealous ‘cause Breck Girl Edwards is better looking and has better hair!
“I think it’s beyond tacky and bad taste to trot out the terminally ill cancer patient to attack everyone because they know she is untouchable.”
Yeah, but isn’t it nice when someone like Hillary gets that treatment for a change?
Boy, you must be really young. I’m 37 and I remember the Breck Girls.
So John Edwards is being defended as "more of a woman".
Oh geez, this is so wrong.....But so hilarious!!
Hillary's not savy enough to be out there without billyboy's "charisma," and the Breck Boy isn't tough enough to stand up without Mommy's fists.
Winners, both
