Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!

The right-wing radio host quoted my CNN comments about the sexism Hillary Clinton faces, and I am very grateful.

    Hillary ain't "women"

    To find Hillary unappealing, disengenuous, slimy and all too much the "politicain<' is not the same as overt sexism. And.....for whatever reason, the latter seems easier to get away with that overt racism. This has nothing to do with reality, and my guess is there's way more than both in our society. Obama's greater appeal over Clintion's (in the polls) is way more a matter of two individuals, than two stereo types; one is attractive, one is a jerk.
