Your obsession with the Clinton's borders on hysteria. Perhaps Xanax, who posts here quite often, will send you a few xanax pills to take when your anxiety about the Clinton's surfaces. On second thought, you better get your own prescription. And, it should be obvious that anyone could upstage the bungling Barack at the convention, even you. Oh, by the way, your "USA Today" is showing.

tell him don't bother

Ms. Walsh-you and many women of a certain age who call yourselves "journalists" (Ariana Huffington springs to mind) happily participated in the blatant sexism and daily ad hominem attacks on Senator Clinton that resulted in unreliable,biased reporting. The boys at MSNBC,CNN,FOX,the "news" magazines and the newspapers managed to descend to a new low in "journalistic" standards with their gleeful bashing of Clinton while swooning over Obama in an embarrassing display of what my daughters laughingly refer to as "bromance." Joanie, sweetie, your complete failure to refuse to play the boys game these many months makes your piece today all the more disingenous. You just don't get it.Or maybe you do and just can't admit it. We women of a certain age (I'm a 52 year old litigator) have collectively crossed that line which every woman has crossed at one time or another in an individual relationship: namely, we are done with Obama and there is no looking back. He had plenty of opportunties to be a real man during the campaign but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He resorted, instead, to the introduction of the charge of racism against the Clinton campaign as part of an overall strategy of using race as an issue. He lied either about his church attendance or about the fact that he sat for 20 years and listened to hate speech. He stooped to using gimmicks like pulling his name off the Michigan ballot rather than suffer a huge defeat BEFORE the Iowa caucus, while planning to rely on the notoriously unreliable vote counts in the caucus states (what is this? 1868?)to propel him toward the nomination. He could not contain his burgeoning sense of entitlement and he refused to even try to hide his condescension toward Clinton and her supporters. He has pushed most of us "middle aged women", some but not all of whom are white, over the line and well beyond his reach. Obama shouldn't bother trying to win over Clinton's women supporters. He's not man enough to be our man.

Who cares about Elliot Spitzer's career?

Who cares about Elliot Spitzer's career? He chose to betray his wife and three daughters. They have been hurt in a way you cannot understand unless you have lived through it. This is not a victimless crime as so many people want so desperately to believe. Mrs. Spitzer and the Spitzer daughters have been shattered in a way that pales in comparison to anyone Spitzer prosecuted during his career. I bet Glenn Greenwald would have a different opinion if his wife or significant other engaged in private, consensual sex with someone else. Where have all the real men gone?
