It is a truth universally acknowledged that Barack Obama must continue to grovel to Hillary Clinton’s dead-enders, some of whom mutter darkly that they will not only not vote for him, they will never vote for a man again.
Obama met for an hour Tuesday with three dozen top Hillaryites at a hotel here, seeking their endorsement and beguiling their begrudging. He opened the session by saying that he knew there had been frustration about what they saw as sexism during the primary.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Hillary die-hards want to enshrine a whine in the Democratic platform about how the primaries “exposed pervasive gender bias in the media” and call on party leaders to take “immediate and public steps” to denounce any perceived bias in the future. That is one nutty idea.
Perhaps it is because feminists are still so busy cataloging past slights to Hillary that they have failed to mount a vivid defense of Michelle Obama, who has taken over from Hillary as the one conservatives like to paint as a harridan.
Before the Obama campaign even had a chance to denounce Ludacris, one of the rappers on the senator’s iPod, Hillary Inc. started to mobilize. Susie Tompkins Buell, a former Clinton bundler, told The New York Observer that Obama had to distance himself, given Ludacris’s new song rooting for Obama to “paint the White House black” and calling Hillary the b-word.

Hey Lady,if your waiting for a guy to buy you a drink,your
going to be here a long time!
Betting this column will be plagiarized by thousands of English Lit. majors in colleges across the land this fall.
Michelle makes it so easy, though. She makes Hillary seem like Laura Bush.
These people just piss me off. We have real honest to God issues with energy, terrorism, war, education and so on, and all these frikking losers can do is complain about sexism and racism...basically “ME! ME! ME!”
Of course it is a nutty idea, but only to you left wing morons. Then you maggots couldn't control situations. Far be it from you to just report the news. Just the facts would be nice. NOT your slanted opinions!
Typical leftist twit -- faced with such a comparison of polling stats, she assumes "the prejudice is racial" for the 69% of "white" voters who are not enamored with the most left-wing inexperienced lightweight bimbo (yes, Obambi) of a presidential candidate we have ever seen as a major party nominee. Maybe MoDo would do better to wonder about the 83% of "black" voters who declare a favorable impression of Obambi (actually, I thought it was more like 98%, or at least that many report willingness to vote for him). "The prejudice is racial" when blacks are willing to vote for any socialist bimbo just so long as he is of the correct skin color.
CZJ pix rule, please!
OR, maybe said feminists are afraid to call any more attention to the nasty, hectoring, overbearing, socialistic, nanny-state persona of Michelle Obama because she IS a harridan who most voters will firmly reject if she is a prominent part of the mix. The Obambi campaign has to practically keep her out of sight for the next 3 months unless they want her to become the issue.
[MICHELLE OBAMA]: "Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

Another bourbon-fuelled screed from Mo.
At least she admits he's greatly conflicted about who he is, as he as written himself.
Thing is, America can't survive someone at the helm who needs to be on a psychiatrists couch
Not even if it means you'll be drinking with CZJ later that evening?
Michael Douglas has better fish to fry.
May I ask why this actress’ photos always come up whenever Maureen Dowd name is mentioned.
any story? I don’t get it.
They all have a brown substance dripping from their nose.
Ah Gloria you are bad. My kind of FRfriend! ;9)
It is immoral and appalling.
I cannot bear it. I fear I shall faint!
Modo is Michael Douglas' ex, and CZJ is his current wife, and besides that, CJZ is easy on the eyes and a fun thing to do. Now you get it?
