Ma, They're Makin' Eyes at Me

Competent women in leadership positions are distinguished by their rarety. Very little is published about the advice of their male advisers.

Wouldn't you say?

[PAR35]

Wasn't Sophie Newcomb mainly for the Jewish girls?

My relatives were Baptist, but it is true that Tulane and Newcomb, being southern institutions, didn't discriminate as did many northerners.

“Mrs. Clinton has actually produced a commercial claiming that the male Democrats are picking on her.”

I’d like to view that. Got a link?

[ErnBatavia]

Maybe one of them should run for President....

That'd work for me...then Babwa could interview Daddy and, in result, get her fuzzy-lensed arse handed back to her, live and in color.

[SuziQ]

it is true that Tulane and Newcomb, being southern institutions, didn't discriminate as did many northerners.

A couple of Jewish girls from my high school in MS went to Newcomb, so that's why I thought that.

[Red Boots]

Any women who would be successful while holding great power has to be strong and self-confident, among other qualities. Furthermore, such a woman has to know her own mind and have the courage of her convictions.

Unfortunately, I think Hillary does have the courage of her convictions and the balls the carry them out. It's just that right now, she can't let them be seen, as she is in full vote-gathering mode, where she has to be everything to everyone.

Later, when she's president, she'll let them out. Then we'll be in a world of trouble.

““Mrs. Clinton has actually produced a commercial claiming that the male Democrats are picking on her.””

I’ve googled every combination of this that I can think of and can’t find any reference to this. Could you please illuminate on where you obtained this information?

[Congressman Billybob]

Hillary Clinton put this commercial up on the Internet. It is not being broadcast anywhere. It is available on the blogosphere.

“It is available on the blogosphere.”

Where? I can’t find it anywhere.

[Congressman Billybob]

I don’t know where to find it. I saw it on a cable news show. It started with a series of debate clips with each of the other Democrat candidates saying “Senator Clinton...” and “Hillary Clinton...” about 20 times in a row, very compressed and fast.

BTTT

[arthurus]

A nice twist of the focus knob.

[Congressman Billybob]

I thoroughly agree that Congressional Term Limits is an excellent idea and would radically improve that body. However, the current Congress would no more vote for a Term Limit Amendment than a saloon full of drunks would vote for Prohibition.

It is necessary to change the whole political culture, before it will be possible to change Congress. It can be done. But it will be a long, hard process.

[Congressman Billybob]

Here’s the address of the Official Clinton Press Release about “The Politics of Pile-On.” The companion TV clip I described was released by the Campaign onto YouTube. You can find it there.

Hillary is now backing away from the “poor widdle girl” picked on by all the “big bad men.” However, that was her and her campaign’s reaction the morning after her bad debate.

I have always restricted myself to one or fewer wives at any given time.

With ample precedent.

But, I submit, m’lud, with all submission,
To marry two at once — is Burglaree!

In the reign of James the Second,
It was generally reckoned
As a rather serious crime
To marry two wives at one time.

[ModelBreaker]

Congressman, Hillary is a programmed "Stepford Woman Politician" who has not thoughts of her own but is programmed by her handlers, and when the question doesn't call forth a programmed response, she just melts down into a puddle of nuts and bolts.

Nope. She knows exactly what she thinks. But she also knows if she says it in public, she'll never sniff the white house china collection again. Hence, the bobbing and weaving.

And, in a sense, she's right that the other candidates are being unfair, in a weird democrat sort of way. The rule for democrats is never actually say what you believe or want to do or the voters won't elect you. Fair would mean that they all pretend that all of their respective public positions are clear and they would never actually pin one another down on "delicate" subjects like illegal immigration in public. But she's the front-runner and needs to learn to take the heat.

Her warriors, in her warroom, are very good about covering her butt and missteps.
