The Fall of Joan
One of the worst by-products of this Democratic nomination process has been to watch as women who I used to respect like Joan Walsh and Rachel Maddow turn themselves inside out pretending to be "fair and balanced" while skewing every perpsecitve to shed the best possible light on a candidate who earns their support simply on the basis of her gender. They wouldn't for a second support a male with the ethical lapses and naked lust for power that Hillary Clinton has, but these days they are all over the media spouting every Clinton campaign talking point such as this superdelegate nonsense or this latest ridiculous "plagiarism" charge that is nothing but a ridiculous distraction from the real issues. This is nothing but Bush/Rove politics redux and the fact that so many faux feminists are mindlessly joining the Clinton kneecap brigade in order to elect one of their own without regard to her actions as to war and big corpora and her complete failure to truly do anything for working and poor people while enriching herself shows their moral bankruptcy. What do these knee-jerk reactionary faux feminists think they will accomplish by continuing the slash and burn style of politics? They won't elect Hillary, just maybe get her the nomination and in the process destroy the Democratic party.
