Cheerful boos for Hillary

At the YearlyKos convention, the mixed reception for Hillary Clinton is more evidence that the liberal blogosphere might not take sides in the coming Democratic primary.

    Why Can't She Look Funny?

    For crying out loud, we've had a two-term (male) president who looks like a chimpanzee. It doesn't seem to have hurt his electability any.

    If Clinton has a not un-chipmunkish look about her when she's in a genuine good humor, fine. Do we really require of female politicians that they look like models?

    Give me a politician, male or female, who is sincere and funny-looking over beautiful and false any day.
