Look for NOW to be setting up picket lines outside Rush's Southern Command, protesting the way Limbaugh has demeaned mature women, writing them off as the "hot-flash cohort."
What an outrageous slur! You know, these right-wing men just don't --
What? It wasn't Rush? It was that avatar of elite liberal thought Tina Brown, writing in Newsweek?
Never mind.
Here's how Brown put it in Hillary and the Invisible Women [emphasis added]:

What a dilemma. To vote for a candidate because he is black or vote for the other one because she is a woman. Democrats really are gonna have to think to resolve this.

I'm still waiting for evidence that Obama’s fit to govern anything. Exactly what are his credentials other than being a slick talker?

Good one! Interesting, one of my liberal friends is a 60 y.o. divorced woman who might seem to be Hillary’s natural constituency, but she can’t stand Hillary (partly for what Hillary has been willing to put up with to serve her ambitions) and is a big Obambi fan.
p.s. Can you add me to your ping list please? Thx.

Democrats really are gonna have to think to resolve this. Well, that explains why it isn't resolved yet.

"The Hot Flash Cohort" Rush may not have thought of it...
But I'm thinking that he may be using it for a good long time!

Rush did propose the formation of an Amazon PMS brigade or four of them, so that one brigade would always have PMS and be ready to rip the heads off any males they encounter.
To: Steely Tom
I guess now we can expect one of those tiring silly songs about this that Rush is always playing.

But they drive liberals right up the wall. That's why Rush plays them to death.

The WON'T. They are split right down the middle. This was bound to happen sooner or later, as there are virtually NO MEN left in the Democratic party. Especially not white, straight men. This is a trainwreck for the Dems, and it's only going to get worse. NO ONE is going to back down. Gays, blacks and downscale women; basically the entire Democrat Party these days. NONE of them have any use for the other.

NAFTA-Gate showed clearly that Obama is not ready for primetime. And even if I agreed with Obama politically I would say exactly the same thing. He’s a lightweight.

NOW, I thought they disbanded. I guess they’re seeing a fundraising opportunity in the Feminazi market.
