NYT Feminists Still Giddy About Hillary's Chances In 2016: Any Gender Problems Have Been 'Wiped Out' By Tim Graham Created 05/26/2013 - 7:52am
Politico’s Katie Glueck reported two feminists who’ve written opinion columns for The New York Times are still giddy about Hillary Clinton’s chances in 2016. Benghazi, schmengazi.
Appearing Thursday at the liberal Center for American Progress, former Times columnist Anna Quindlen asserted any gender-related problems Hillary encountered in previous races have been “wiped out,” and her gender would only be an asset if she runs in 2016.
“I think the gender issue as a problem or a deal breaker — ‘Can we have a woman as president of the United States?’ … it was wiped out,” Quindlen said. “It was wiped out when she ran and nearly won in 2008, and it since has been even further wiped out by her performance as secretary of state.”
Feminists don’t want to hear anything about four Americans dying because the female Secretary of State somehow failed in her duties. That ought to at least slow down liberals from saying Hillary’s allegedly stellar performance has “wiped out” any concerns about her competence, irrespective of gender.
“I think there will be many issues around her candidacy if she runs in 2016,” Quindlen continued. “I do not think her gender will be one except that there will be a whole bunch of women quietly saying, ‘Yay,’ every day [until] the election.”
Current Times columnist and former editorial page editor Gail Collins was eager to agree:
“When she ran for the Senate, … you’d see these mobs of women, … many of them tended to be middle-aged. I took from them a sense of excitement about the idea that you can have your life, raise a family, … maybe then, once when the kids are gone, you can have some amazing thing — not just another job or degree but just some spectacular adventure,” Collins said. “That seems to me to be the great Hillary message that just resonates with women of a certain age.”
The event was tied to the 50th anniversary publication of Betty Friedan’s feminist manifesto “The Feminine Mystique.” Collins wrote a new Introduction, and Quindlen wrote an Afterword.
where is Hillary during these current scandals? hiding of course or maybe getting a make over...those make overs don't last long...Nature takes over...
they will build her an escalator...
Good point.
My comment was not directed at any one. I just hit post reply!
I will in the future change the recipient to all!
And yes Rock I know the meaning of gender. Cars have them also and most are female!
Good point.
That ... and the fact that she is a pathological liar.
Palin/Paul vs. Hillary/McCain.
Now that would be an interesting match up...
So the media will all lead with “first woman president.”
If they were sincere about that, they would have said it over Condi Rice. But they are not sincere.
It doesn’t matter to liberals/feminists that she’s incompetent or wasn’t ready for the 3am phone call either. Only that she’s a woman.
I wonder what loser republicans will select to be defeated by her.
forget “gender”... what about mental capacity.. one thing that Benghazi showed us is that Hilary is incompetent, didn’t answer the 2 am call for help and has no place even considering being in the white house, except as a cleaning lady working on urinals. she looks crazed and on drugs and her eyes wander aimlessly around in her head. she is a looney tune. she and slick willy ought to just curl up in a ball and disappear. it shows the depraivty of the libs. they literally worship these two masses of useless sub human protoplasm.
My ear ringing has increased ten-fold at the thought of a Hillary / Sarah debate.
You betcha...
unfortunately I am leary....the lazy shiftless amongst us want things for nothing....whether or not it is the majority or not will depend upon the Republican candidate..and if those who stayed home last time, because of RINO Romney, will be sufficiently excited to get out and vote for the Republican candidate..
Yea it will be the Let’s Make History as they did with 0.
I really did not think he could pull a second term off but miscalculated his ability to overpower the voter with the use of The MSM, smoke, and mirrors. But we also shot ourselves in the foot.
It will be interesting to see the mire the next POTUS will have to wade through. However by 2016 the voter will have succumbed to the status quo and will have no vision of a strong economy or Nation.
Brains + Beauty + Moral Clarity = A Small Constant.
I agree, she is too old. She looks awful, warn out, and I don’t think her health will allow her to run.
