  Nice piece Joan

  But despite the way I felt last night, despite the pride I felt as a woman, the admiration I felt for this woman, reality has already set in. Already your friends/colleagues at MSNBC and other networkds are questioning Hillary's sincerity. To listen to Mika and her "did Hillary praise Obama enough," to the refusal of Rachel Maddow to ever compliment another strong woman; to listen to Soledad O"Brien go on and on about with other women "but was it really showing support for Obama or was this really about Hillary's own political future." Maybe it's me. Maybe because I haven't ever spent time with "media women" I just don't get that they are all about their own power and ego. I mean I get that Arianna cannot stand any Clinton success because then how can she justify her years of a right wing worshipping Clinton hatred.

  But these younger women? What the h*ll is their problem?

  Maybe someday Joan you can do a piece on these 30 something young women who simply cannot stand the thought of older women like Hillary having power? Maybe you can someday ask these young women to get over themselves or the notion that they made it on their own because they are so special. Women like us Joan know the truth. Without women like Hillary, like you, they would not have gotten there.

  I will do as Hillary asked and will vote democratic this fall. I will also do all I can to rid the party of the Deans, the Brazilles, the Daschles and the Pelosis (yes there are older women who simply are too insecure to get what they have done to us all) and others who have betrayed the women of the party.
