This theory reveals more about Mary Gordon than anything else. Gordon has admittedly worshipped her deceaesd father since childhood as "the man who had loved her more than God."

She's a novelist, espousing her own opinion with no supporting data.

Do all women lust for Bill? Or just heterosexual ones? Just white women? Women from the South? What about homosexual men? Heck, what about heterosexual men? Can't they be "libidinally attached" to Bill, too?

Oh, ladies, which Clinton will you be thinking about as you pull that lever in the voting booth?

Let's say that I DID vote with my vajayjay/pink bits/quim/smerconish. Wouldn't that mean I'd WANT Hillary in the house so I could enjoy all the resulting Bill photo-ops and pleasure myself to his magnificence?

Mary Gordon's theory is offensive, but not even in an intriguing way, just in kind of a dumb, poorly thought-out way.

LOVE the post.

...the demeaning notion that we women all vote with our libidos

No SHIT that's demeaning!!!!!!!????!!!

I despair.

I tear my hair.

I shake her until her overwhitened teeth rattle.

(I don't DO that stuff.)

Heaving a bosomy, brainy sigh,

What's the difference between a Broadsheet poster saying voting against Hillary is misogyny and your claim that Gordon says women vote with their libidos?

Myself, I try to vote on the issues -- I consider a candidates sex irrelevant, though depending on the candidate, I would like to hold her sex against her.

She may be on to something here. I always felt attracted to Bill, and maybe I do have some jealousy over Hillary. But all the same, I still don't know if I'd support her because of IRAQ. See...I have a brain.

The woman is a novelist -- and not a particularly good one, at that.

Which means it's no surprise that she's trying to ride someone else's coattails.

Some people will do anything to help their lousy book ratings in Amazon...

She got elected by all the lesbians in NYC.

See, lesbians don't have any sexual attraction to Bill, so they don't hate Hillary for stealing their man away.

Also, the lesbians for Hillary concept supports the Eryn Loeb was saying if you dislike Hillary it's because you hate women thing. Because lesbians don't hate women. They love women.

(I am getting this Hillary is a lesbian thing correctly, right?)

This concept also explains Fred Thompson's popularity. His wife is really hot, and men look up to a man with a really hot wife.

I am so glad we have clarified the whole Who you want to have sex with determines your politics thing.

God Bless America!

But I too might just give it up for Bill.

So naturally I'm going all republican, because I am jealous of Hill. I want to share a cigar with the guy, you know what I mean? So obviously she has to be kept out of office.

(If it weren't for term limits the guy would get elected in a heart-beat, and that knowledge burns republican asses more than anything else. I do worry that with Hillary we are just opting for a faux Bill, but what choice do we have?)

Grodie to the max.

now, if you wanna talk sexual jealousy, let's talk about michelle obama. her man's got my vote, and lord knows if he weren't a married man, he could have anything else of mine!

a whole lot more than I envy her Bill. I would want to be married to such a shamelessly needy attention hog. At least he is learning when to stay out of the way.

Jealous of Hillary; and Gennifer; and Monica; and God only knows how many more?

I don't think so. American women (at least the ones I know) are a lot smarter than that.

A yearning for what Hillary represents is an entirely different matter. I remember a passionate political conversation I had with a young female lawyer employed by an accountancy board at an accounting conference. She had personally met Hillary. She practically swooned at the very thought of Hillary.

I live in Tennessee. I could walk down to the corner, throw a rock, and hit three guys just like ol' Bill. I think the first time a good ol' boy tried the, "Aw, honey, I'm not asking for sex, just a little blow job," line on me, I was thirteen. It's super-easy to fuck guys like Bill. For that matter, evidence suggests it's not that hard to fuck Bill himself if you're within shouting distance of his entourage.

No, I hate Miss Hillary because she's chosen to make my field of work her whipping boy. I make video games, she lies about them being harmful to the children. I don't vote for people who want to make me jobless, sorry.

I'm not very comfortable voting for someone who lies to appeal to the Family Values Squad, in any case. She's shown that she's happy supporting pretty much anything - torture, the War in Iraq, and so on and so on - if she thinks it's expedient. No longer expedient? Pretend you never supported it.

I'm gonna throw up!!!!!!

Right now thinking about Bill's rapidly growing W. C. Fields nose (drink much WJC?) makes me want to puke.

While I admire the Canadian dollar's rise, I wish to assure you that Bill Clinton is not eligible for President, but it has nothing to do with term limits.

Thank you, I hope you'll be able to focus your eyes on this when Happy Hour concludes up there.

Hair of the dog old man!

I would want to be married to such a shamelessly needy attention hog.

Perhaps you can tell us all how Bill Clinton is a shameless needy attention hog. Perhaps you can enlighten us to how Bill Clinton should be behaving.

I am sorry that you are so obsessed with bodies that a man's nose would cause you to throw up. Perhaps you should step away from feminism and join a movement that is not obsessed with the physical and sexual aspects of humans, and merely treats humans an individuals to respect.

You may wish to see an internist or e-psychiatrist, because most people to not find it necessary to throw up when viewing another person's body.

A long journey starts with a small step, maybe one day you will be able to look at your own body with the lights on.

Peace.
