From pornography to 'Desperate Housewives' women being degraded has an entertainment value far greater than men being degraded.
People like Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton a lot more once they were 'broken,' ice queens melted into puddles of vulnerability.
Hillary was America's first lady, photographed smiling in her designer dresses as she oversaw table settings and placements for state dinners, even though she did not care about such domestic piffle and was instead really manuvering to take over huge chunks of domestic policy.
Martha was the first lady of gold leaf designer lifestyle nesting, even though her uber-nest was so scary that her husband flew the coop. Though she was the ulitmate professional homemaker and nurturer, she left her daughter off the list of the things she would miss in jail.
Obviously, many men are uncomfortable with successful women, so when these women are brushed back, alpha men can take comfort in knowing that the alphettes are not threateningly all powerful and that they had better soften those sharp edges.
And what about Condi, who's now being touted for the Republican ticket in 2008? Perhaps she does not need to play the victim to make people feel better about her power because she was never seen as pushing people around and bending them to her will.
She always seems subserviant to President Bush and VP Dick Cheney, a willing handmaiden for their bellicose bidding.

MoDo must be OD'ing on the Chivas Regal again after Aaron Sorkin dropped her like a hot sack of potatoes. (history repeats itself!)
She does seem to be on a roll lately, doesn't she. Maybe the ceasing of her menses has made her come to the realization that she's not a young babe anymore and has driven her over the edge.
Good grief *LOL*
That's right MoDo, the reason you and the other loser folks are unhappy is because other people are holding you down. It's not your fault you are so unfulfilled, it others who are to blame.
Whines and lines of painful prose, the kind to make you hold your nose
And lib opinions that she chose, I've read Maureen that way.
But now she only mocks the son. She’s bitch and moan to everyone.
So many things might have been fun, but Dowd got in my way.
I've looked at Dowd from both sides now,
From left and right and still somehow,
It's Dowd's delusions I recall.
I really don't like Dowd, at all
Bill and Hill and Howard Dean the dizzy dancing way they preen.
The way they court each fairy queen, I think the left’s that way.
But now it's just another show, they leave me retching when they go.
And if you care don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've seen the left from both sides now,
From in and out, and still somehow,
The left's delusions I recall.
I really don't like libs, at all.
Tears and fears, they’re feeling proud. They shout, "Oh, f*** you" right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and Rent ‘a Crowds, I've looked at libs that way.
But now old reds are acting strange they shake their heads, they think we've changed
but something's lost but something's gained in counting every vote.
I've looked at libs from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It's lib's delusions I recall.
I really don't like libs, at all.
Enjoy Y’all!
Both Sides Now midi
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Maureen just needs to pour another glass of merlot and start the forgetting process.
Brillant! (lighter up in the air, waving around)
" Americans like to see women who wear the pants be beaten up and humiliated."
If there was any doubt about the intelligence, temperament and insight of MoDo, this statement should seal it.
OMG I just had deja vu. I think I dreamed this very moment in time.
Exceptionally delusional this evening. Try a Vicodin, Maureen.
Perfection!
C'est magnifique, Loney!
I think have heard everything now..
One of MoDo's ex lovers from the Baltimore Star is also coming back to be a new NYT op-ed columnist with an office right next to hers.. (that could also be a reason she has been so batty lately)
There's a screw loose somewhere.
She's going to end up like Helen Thomas, some have been predicting this on FR for years..
where did ya hear that from?
It was in the NY Daily News this week, MoDo's ex flame from her glory years at the Baltimore Sun (circa 1979) is coming back to office right next to her!
