Oh come on Anonymous, just a tad of the cart before the horse wouldn't you say?

McCain? also took funds.

Huckabee? His ideas of finance include a 27% sales tax and abolshing the IRS (can you say tithing?)

Romney? The man who is buying his very own presidency with his very own money?

It's not even an issue.....

Jeeze salon and especially Rebecca Traister, get a grip for god's sake.

Women are supposed to be able to play with the big boys right? What was so terrible? Basically, he gave her a big giant "Oh for god's sake grow up, already." And that was appropriate. Possible do you think that Hillary was playing the "See? I am not a callous bitch! I am warm and fuzzy and sensitive! Be nice to me!" card.

We can either go for the big prizes or shut the f*&k up, but we cannot have it both ways. So please, for god's sake, grow up.

Hows about writing a pro edwards piece? not a little back handed compliment piece of tripe, but something solid.

In the words of Jean arthur, "Fight for im, get bhind him!" it's not as though you all have a standard of neutrality to protect...

Yeah, yeah, Rebecca, your pro-Hillary bias now vindicated in New Hampshire, you herald the feminist "IT's so unfair cliches!" but no where in that article do you mention the alternative to BOTH of the inferior frontrunners on the Democrat side. John Edwards. Why not just take a look?

Or would that be too adventurous for you?

"Listening to Prozac" was writen by a psychiatrist who was maing the case that talk therapy is more genuine than the quick and inadequate fix of antidepressants. Can you say bias?

I spent years and thousands of dollars on therapists. I left every session in tears.

I was overly emotional, a pain in the ass to work with, short-tempered and deeply unhappy.

Antidepressants changed everything and I have news for you----that LONG fix so fervantly touted by psychiatrists did not work.

People who have not been in these shoes should shut up already.

almost all of the guys in my department used to go to a local strip club and get totally bombed and then come back to the lab and try to act normal.

Hey, my advice is to do it. If people in academia were emotionally well developed you wouldn't even give this a second thought. What you are worried about is how the prudes are going to react and how the sicko guys who will abuse you are going to react.

Forget about it. The guys who see you in the bar should be liberal enough to not give a damn and if they are sending pictures around to their friends, fine---what do you care? Might even be good for business.

In my mind, there is nothing of real value to lose. And your credit rating staying healthy is worth it.

Look, I am a strong feminist too and a woman.

But you all have GOT to get over this Hillary thing. The simple fact of the matter is that she has become a corporate shill, who has accepted huge amounts of money from the very right wing conspiracy that she used to rail against. She is totally in the pocket of Big Pharma, and the insurance industry. Her health care plan is nothing more than a way for insurance companies to increase their profits on the backs of people who can't afford insurance to begin with. She has "experience", which is the Karl Rove way of spinning the fact that she is a beltway hack. Just like Bush's clean air initiatives --- nothing more than opposite speak. If you can't beat em, join em, and Hillary has.

So if Maureen Dowd goes after your precious Hillary, fine, who cares? I know that YOU all do, but I think you are letting the lightheadedness of the concept of a female president completely blind you to the truth: Hillary is the empty suit here. So quit trying to force her down the throats of Salon readers who are perfectly capable of making up their own minds and who do NOT need you to force an unethical moneygrubber down their throats.

Enough already.

It seems to me that the guys on the right and the left have one thing in common. They are willing to risk EVERYTHING.... for what exactly? What we need to learn about is why people in power feel the need to test their power. What kind of satisfaction do the Elliot Spitzers and the Larry Craigs of the world get from thumbing their noses at the very people they led? Is it self-hatred that makes them do this? Is it sociopathic?

BEcause let's be honest. Who really gives a damn about who does whom, in the bathroom or at the expensive DC hotel? Let their wives be suitably pissed about it. But what DOES annoy me is that you go to all the trouble of campaigning for and advocating for, and generally working for good people to get into government and on the rare occasions that actually happens, they go fuck it up so they can see if they really are all-powerful, really are GOD.

The tabloids last weekend were all full of Barack Obama's being into gay sex when he's high.

Jeeze. Am I really going to have to suffer through a Hillary presidency after everybody else is too disgraced to actually hold office anymore?
