  • Joan, just watched the video

    OK, I see the slight, but I didn't think Olbermann's comment was that offensive. Let's just move on...I don't think that it is such a big deal. Besides, I don't watch TV, but isn't this type of theatrics pretty much standard fare? TV isn't called the "idiot box" for a good reason.

    By the way, Joan, you didn't get all pissed and twisted when a major network criticized Obama's bowling, using thinly-veiled racist and sexist stereotypical language. It is what it is and most of us just thought "what poor fools."

    At any rate, I second the posts that Hillary had it coming. My mother, who is 73, a feminist, and who was a front-line hell-raiser, who had to endure the most unbelievable sexual harassment in the '70's, is now a FORMER Hillary fan. She told me the other day that she couldn't stomach how Hillary was "acting like a man" just to get votes, just to prove she is as tough as a man. Mom said that women can be tough just who they are, and that she was turned off by all the theatrics. It's not that mom doesn't like mannish mannerisms in women, but she thinks Hillary is acting, putting on a show and making herself out to look like a fool. She said "that isn't feminism."

    Mama is always right.
