MALE TRIUMPHALISM (PREMATURE)
[Read the article: The Brazile-Begala smackdown]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan, while this was going on did you catch the gang rape that was on at MSNBC? I've been a daily viewer of that network since I came back from England in 2000 but can't watch any more. Yhe word has clearly gone out that the whole network is to trash Hillary. and from Matthews and Russert right through, they never miss a chance for a sneer or an unfounded conclusion. Even the women join in. Sad because I so admired Olbermann's attacks on Bush.
On an unrelated topic, I thought of a way to resolve the Democratic rivalry. The winning candidate could announce that her or his rival would be the first appointment to the Supreme Court. Both would do a terrific job and we'd all be more content than we look likely to be.

SUPREME COURT FOR LOSING CANDIDATE
[Read the article: What does Hillary want?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The best peacemaking device I can imagine is for the victorious candidate to promise the loser will be her or his first appointment to the Supreme Court. Either candidate would make an outstanding justice and we'd have the benefit of them both.

HILLARY FOR SUPREME COURT
[Read the article: McCain campaign baits Obama on Clinton slurs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course Obama should criticize the misogyny directed against Hillary. He's going to need her supporters come November. The best move to unite the Democrats is for Clilnton and Obama to agree that the winning candidate will nominate her or his opponent for the first vacancy on the Supreme Court.

OBAMA'S DAUGHTERS
[Read the article: A split Democratic decision]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That was attractive when Obama said Clinton's example would be an inspiration for his daughters. I wonder how he'll explain to them why daddy decided to screw things up for this wonderful woman instead of waiting to be her successor.
Also I see that my suggestion that Obama make Clinton his first Supreme Court appointment made it to cable news. It came up on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" after having appeared in one of the Washington papers. I continue to think it would be the best way to unite the party and Justice Clinton could provide decades of invaluable service to the country.

HILLARY FOR SUPREME COURT
[Read the article: What will Hillary Clinton do?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you're right that Hillary will lose, not an overwhelmingly convincing, hypothesis, Obama should pledge to make her his first nominee for the Supreme Court. This would unite the party and, more importantly, Justice Clinton could serve the country with distinction for decades. She is sorely needed.

MSNBC and Hillary
[Read the article: Going down with the Titanic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wonder what the effect MSNBC's vendetta against Hillary has had on their viewing figures.
I now think of them as the Misogynist Swine network. Russert, Matthews, Olbermann (my favorite until recently for his attacks on Bush) and Shuster sneered at her gratuitously on every program. What may be even worse, the women joined in. And the bookers. They booked antiHillary guests by an overwhelming margin.
On the rare occasions, I still watch the network you and Rachel Maddow are the only people worth watching.
I hope you or someone on Salon will do a story on how many viewers have deserted the network.
