Think you've got problems?
Consider the perils of Susan Estrich. Divorced, she has to eke out a living as a lawyer to support her two children. The demands of that job mean she doesn't get to see the kids as often as she likes.
She is overweight and lacks the discipline to exercise regularly. Her house is a mess, and unethical rug cleaners wrecked her living-room floor.
Wait, it gets worse.
Her nanny lacks medical insurance because the application form is too confusing for Estrich to fill out. Estrich herself has health care, but complications from a recent surgical procedure have her feeling worse than ever. Her kids are ungrateful. And she doesn't even have a boyfriend!
"Most days," Estrich writes in a FoxNews.com column, "I feel like a failure at most of the things I try to do, and the only question is the matter of degree."
Clearly, she is presidential material.
Estrich isn't throwing her own hat into the ring, but the purpose of her column is to explain that she favors Hillary Clinton because Mrs. Clinton, like Estrich, falls well short of being a "superwoman":

I am neither as successful as I wish I were, nor as good a mother as I’d like to be. I’m not as thin as I’d like, I don’t work out as often as I should, my house is messy and worse. I don’t even have a semi-adoring boyfriend.
I’m in the middle of a fight with the unscrupulous rug cleaners who destroyed my living room carpet and floor, and the miserable HMO that encouraged my babysitter to apply for more comprehensive insurance and then rejected her on the ground that I didn’t fill out the form sufficiently accurately, even though I wrote a lengthy note explaining the difficulties of doing so and making clear that they already had the access to the information.
My body hurts from minor surgery that was supposed to make me feel better and turned out not to be minor and to make me feel worse.
And I’m not complaining.

Must have been a very very slow news day for this to have made print.
Somebody call the waaahhmbulance! for the Waaahhmbulance chaser!
“minor surgery”?
I presume that’s what she is calling her plastic surgery now?
She said a mouthful there, that's for sure. Senator Clinton was a failure as a first lady, is a "do-nothing" senator, can't control her spouse, and can't take heat from third-rate politicos like John Edwards and Barack Hussein Obama. "Smartest woman in the World" my Aunt Fanny!
Did she mention she was a lawyer?
Tagline Needed Ping!
I know that the rich and powerful have it tough, but it is still painful to have to read it. Susan, Courage Girl!
A man actually married her?
Gees...what a great argument for making people take an intelligence test before they’re allowed to vote.
is this a surprise to anyone?
And the incompetent shall lead...
She and the other she bag are estrogen deprived for sure.
However did that nicotine soaked beast get pregnant?? She was married??? To what?????
I’ve been where Susan is now. And I honestly understand her plight and can even sympathize with every word she wrote about feeling inadequate on some level.
But the difference is that I never, ever would consider voting for a presidential candidate because of his/her sex.
NEVER!
Let go of the hate, Susan. That'll make you 100% more attractive all by itself... though in all honesty, twice as attractive as ugly to the bone isn't going to be much of an improvement.
lol
