    Hillary, the quintessential feminist.

    Hillary is the original "strong woman".

    • 1. Without experience in politics, she became First Lady of Arkansas because her husband won the election.
    • 2. She became famous in America when defending her husband when he cheated her (with Gennifer Flowers).
    • 3. She became the First Lady because her husband won the election (this is a deja-vu experience).
    • 4. She increased their fame when her husband was accused of cheating her (with Monica Lewinsky).
    • 5. He took advantage of the fame achieved because of her husband's being President to win the NY election and to present herself as a candidate in the Democratic primary elections.
    • 6. He was so awkward of losing an election which she started as a favourite and, instead of accepting responsibility, she blamed sexism (but without men her political career wouldn't have even started).
    • 7. Now that she has lost the election, she wants Obama to make her the vice-candidate. So again, she wants to rely on a man, while, at the same time, claiming sexism.

    Wow! Such a strong woman! She is a loser who can only succeed by taking advantage of winner men and, at the same time, she presents herself as a victim of sexism. What a double standard and hypocrisy! She is the quintessential feminist!

    (By the way, I am ASTONISHED that she couldn't win even with the enthusiastic support of Salon. I can't remember all the articles supporting her and all the pictures with a smiling Hillary. American people is blind).

    (Yes, yes, I know. I am gay, dumbass, can't get laid, insecure, with short dick, a womyn hater, pathetic loser. So what? The truth is the truth, whoever tells it)
