    Nice try, Joan

    Give yourself this test: If Hillary Clinton said something this honest, would you be here talking about "pandering" and "gaffe". I'll wait for the answer, which I am guessing starts with "N". I just do not know what has happened to Salon these days. It used to be the place to go for insightful left of center reading. With the exception of Glen Greenwald, Gary Kamiya, and a couple of other hard-hitters, it has become a mecca of privileged feminist navel gazing. And I am a female!

    Btw, speaking of pandering, how did you like Clinton's Calamity Jane act?
