    That's what I said, it's about closing the circle around the sisterhood. Elect the woman. Voting for Clinton is like a universal salve spread on to the wounded spirit of all womankind. To the old top tier of yesterday's 70's feminists she's their redeemer. They'll blast blacks for being for Obama, but won't own up, that they have a "one of our own" mentality all of their own. And the thing is, with Obama, he HAS breached the cloor divide. He is beloved of any and all colors of the ethnic spectrum. But women, mostly white women, won't own up to why Clinton really is their woman.

    I thought this article was entitled "Why Hillary Should be Flippin' Burgers at Fred's Fastburger."

    This sexism with attention to Hillary sure as suffered itself onto a looooong shelf life.

  • Rev. Wright

    Joan held onto the Rev. Wright flap for an interminable period of time. I mean she coddled that controversy in a cardboard box for what must have been almost a month or more. Wright was used as the one and only ruler with which to judge Obama personally. It was a witch hunt, with Joan as Witchfinder general. It was ridiculous. Obama was painted as everything from unpatriotic to a virtual a heretic. But if one public figure peals off a sexist slur at Hillary, hell, she's on it like gravey on rice. I think her whole handling of the Wright affair was a slur from start to finish.

    racism is easier to overcome or more easily overcome? What simple sophistry. Run that by me again. Walsh is an outrage to intelligent people everywhere. She's kicking up dust to add a cheap kick to her thrust.

    This topic is no longer fresh, insightful, or boldly intrepid, now it's just old, hackneyed, and decrepit.

  • It's a meandering argument without an ability to say much

    It's like pep rally and gender jamboree in search of a crutch.

  • Obama has done something brave today

    [Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]

    He has come out and stated in the open that he advocates dialouge with Iran over Iraq. That is to say unlike Clinton who authorized the war in Iraq, and gave her happy blessings to that hastey Kyl-Lieberman hallpass, that would pave the way to another U.S. lightening war in the middle east, Obama instead actually values and advoctes diplomacy before asinine actions. The U.S. hasn't even had diplomatic relations of an official kind with Iran since the Shah fell in '79. Obama has guts for going against the grain of the war establishment, and Clinton as ever, has the heart of a chicken hawk, who can go to hell herself, before she sends anybody else there.

    Thanks for the fresh insights on the primary race that just seems to get staler with each passing day.

    Clinton always seems to find herself in the midst of a fight, or a struggle, or any kind of scrap you can imagine, in the media circus of American politics, whenever, wherever it can conceivably crop up. As far as I'm concerned, she can slog it out for herself, by herself, into the infernal infernos of eternity, until she's the eternal champion she must really imagine herself to be.

    When Hillary, who reminds me a lot of an unbalanced captain Ahab, stops cursing the darkness of her own design, and stops behaving with such a "by hook or by crook" singleminded obsessivness over all things Obama, then she might actually earn some respect.

    For myself, I only await the instant of her eventual fading from center stage, and the advent of things of realer consequence once again coming to the fore.

    You have a big heart and a serious mind, but don't feel like you're lost in a weird world of the blind. I agree with much you just said, and sometimes for sure this place just fucks with your head.

    It ain't no thing - welcome back.

    Hillary should be able to best the bullies and win her own fights

  • Madonna

    [Read the article: Hillary's slick willies]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Madonna is starting to look like a plastic surgery disaster, and looks more manly than lots of the manliest of men, but Nina Hagen on the other hand, the east German punk rock diva, an earlier contemporary of Modonna's, still looks as hot as ever. If you've never listened to Nina Hagen Camille, you've missed out. Her 1983 album "Angstlos," released in English as "Fearless" tears the plastic skin off of any of the timid, tepid, top forty trash that Madonna put out around the same time. Nina was and still is a sexual incendiary device, manic, mad, and hilarious. I know you have some disco leanings so I suggest you give "Fearless" a spin, unless you're of course afraid. It's Giorgio Moroder amped up on speed to the Nth degree. Poor Madonna tried to appropriate a punk persona around that time in the early '80's but it was about as convincing as Hillary Clinton's claim that she had dodged shapnel fire in Bosnia. Madonna was always a little mallrat, Nina was a one woman slaughterhouse of outragiously profane hilarity. In other words, Madonna was and is just a plain old pedestrian pop star.
