What this article shows is just whats wrong with feminism. Its obsession with male domination and the penis. There is an old maxim that great men are seldom good men. So the writer believes Martin Luther Kings or Bill Clinton's final legacy will be defined or besmirched by their sex lives. Is Thomas Jefferson's legacy defined by his sex life? Is Julius Caesers, Abraham Lincoln, Einstein or Franklin Roosevelt's? Will George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter's faithfulness to their wives make a bit of difference in how history judges them? But lets discuss Dr. King. I am an African American. Every living African American in this country has either lived with or had a relative with direct experience with Jim Crow. One of my earlier memories is being told to sit in a colored section of an all white movie theatre and I'm not fifty years old. Forty years after the landmark civil rights legislation of the 60's I can easily point to places in my hometown that had separate entrances based on race. Yet, the writer thinks I give a hoot about Martin Luther Kings sex life. Dr. King helped free millions of African Americans from a lifetime of half citizenship and inequality. His policies of non-violence when applied to Eastern Europe helped end communism yet the writer somehow thinks his legacy is besmirched because he was an adulterer. She idiotically thinks Coretta Scott King is somehow lessoned for choosing to stay with a great man instead of walking out and living with with a milk man. Coretta Scott King put up with death threats, bombings, racial slurs, widowhood as a young woman, raising four children as a single parent, and a lifetime of being in the public eye and she never stopped wanting to give more. Would the writer make that kind of sacrifice? As for Hillary Clinton, whether she wins the Presidency of the United States or not, whether you like her politics are not, she has been a groundbreaker. How easy it is to forget 8 years of a smear machine, of being called a murderer, a criminal, having a pundit class daily predict your arrest, having your child mocked, your friends investigated. How easy it is to overlook crazy people trying to fly an airplane in your bedroom window, and men outside your gates firing a machine gun at your husbands window. How easy it is to forget this is a woman who has had to come back from staggering defeats and criticism that would have broken must men ( ie her health care plan) and on top of that put up with a floozy and your husband embarrasing you in front of the whole wide world and yet through it all keep smiling and standing. A woman who won a Senate seat when people initially laughed and said it couldn't be done and yes a woman who has repeatedly saved her husband's career when it was endangered by his own recklessness. If Hillary Clinton doesn't live another day people should remember her not as a victim but for what she really is a tough as nails suvivor. She's had as many acts as Nixon, only unlike Tricky Dick she done it without a penis.

Yes, the pill may cause depression, diminished libido and increase your chances of stroke, but so does repeated pregnancies. Given the choice, pregnancy vs. pill most people will take the pill.

The Democrats never had a realistic shot at stopping Alito so this tactic is nothing more than a failed theatrical gesture. One last stand from a Senator who couldn't wait 24 hours to concede Ohio to Bush only hours after his blue collar worker stood hours in the rain to vote for him. It accomplishes nothing. Its also stupid politics, as it gives a needed hard fought win to a administration that is imploding before our very eyes. One of the things the Democrats have got to learn is they should stop pretending to have more strength then they really have. As the GOP is in control of everything let them bear the responsibility for everything. The sheer number of Republican Senators in the Senate made Alito's nomination a certainty. Now we will have to hear days of stories about the incompetent, disorganized Democrats insted of the incompetent, disorganized President. Thanks John Kerry. We really needed that.
