I've never cared for Chris Matthews

What a loud mouth. First of all, since he started appearing on MSNBC, I have always wondered what his journalistic credentials were. He was one of the chorus blabbing away during the 2000 election and calling for Gore "to show some grace" or something to that effect, and throw in the towel. Sure sounded like a Bush supporter back in the day. If I remember correctly he also supported the Iraq invasion; one of those "shock and awe" fans. He since has come to his senses, he says, on both counts, but hey, in my book he's complict. If he favors someone, or something, they immediately are suspect to me. If he dislikes someone or something, I give them serious consideration. Where do all these while male blabbermouths come from? I mean Tucker Carlson, Glen Beck and Matthews. Shut up!!! BY the way, Pat Buchanan the outed bigot, is now an expert on all manner of things? Please!

Gloria Steinem is right

It is a big old boys' club. I've wondered for a long time where the insane derision is coming from all directions about the woman. No, I don't agree with all of her votes (Iraq, for one, and speaking of Iraq Chris "the mouth" Matthews was originally one of its biggest supporters)but there has been a whole lot of hatred coming her way since her husband took office, or since she took on the insurance companies with her call to universal health care. (You can tell a lot aboout a person by looking at their enemies. I would urge all the Clinton bashers to do this thoughtfully). I think that is what scared the big guys, and just like Hitler played to existing anti Semitism back in the day, the corporate cats that run the world and recognized her as a real threat, realized they could play her as a "witch" (a bitch) and play to the good citizens of this country's inherant misogynism. Perfect fit. Of course they choose to be a tad more subtle. Sexism can be.

Call me paranoid, but sometimes I just can't help but wonder, is Obama a Republican plant? He has gotten scads of money from the banking industry, he supported Condaleeza Rice, he has a hell of a lot of Republican friends. Maybe. Maybe not.

But let's also not forget the networks and cable are owned by monopolies these days, and the reporting we get has been intended to distract and manipulate (Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson anyone?) They rarely report on real news, Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. And they were all breathless and excited during the Iraq "shock and awe" phase. So now they've been tasked to take down the witch. It's their job!

I thought Hillary kicked ass in that debate by the way, and I wonder if anybody caught Obama's comment that he was watching football (wink wink) in between watching the Republican debate. The boys' club indeed.

Original article: Hillary without tears

He's asking you for perspective?

How ironic you start your hateful vomiting with a letter from a man asking for your "perspective" on Hilary's psyche! I didn't know you held a psycholgy degree. Then again, you may very well for all I know about you. Everything I have come across of your opinions is Anne Coulter on acid, and not the least bit credible. So I tend to turn the page or change the channel. Fairly irrelevant.

"Rudely reading in the bleachers...?" That's the funniest thing I've read in years. What a bad girl! How indicative of deep-rooted male hatred.

Just another same old same old yawn beating up of the woman and everything she stands for (feminazi!).

Hmm. Who's payroll are you on, Camille? Or is this a reflection of your own dark beginnings? For all the nasty anger coming out of you, I can bet they were grim as hell and a story to tell, for those who care. I don't.

As for your uncritical display of all things Obama, get in line with all the rest of them, and suck his dick, you know you wanna.

Original article: Bill Clinton looks backward

I look Backward too, with longing and fond memories for when Bill was in the White House

Quite frankly, I tend to think the Clintons have been truthful with their criticisms of Mr. Vague, who likes to say the Clintons are dishonest. But at the first hint of trouble, he cries racism. I have yet to hear ANYTHING the Clintons have said done to be racist. What a slimy accusation. Who is being "inaccurate" there? Speaks volumes about who Obama really is.

It has also been really tired to hear Shapiro's biased mantra rehashing the media's predictable and endless slander of all things Clinton. Get over it people. So they don't have a conventional marriage. So the man got his dick sucked and is still not contrite and she didn't care enough his litte indiscretions to leave him. Like attracts like. They both happen to be brilliant and I hope to GOD he has a hands on role when she gets the White House and is in her ear. My life was good in the Clinton years. I made money and the country was at peace and the consitution had yet to be ravaged. Bring back the good old days!

You can tell a lot about a person by their enemies....

if the NY Post (and I'm a hometown girl) hate Clinton so much (and we know they always have) then she's the one for me.
