Just in case all the media cocks crowing about Hillary Clinton's alleged "cackle" didn't adequately send the message that the first serious female presidential candidate in American history will be, by many men's pens, constantly yoked to an archetypically evil female character from the superstitious, pre-Enlightenment past, Matt Drudge makes the connection plain today by posting a picture of Clinton wearing a witch's hat to accompany a Boston Globe story about how New Hampshire voters have warmed to Clinton. A typical quote from that story:
"I was actually surprised how many people said they were for Hillary," Schwartz said. "Now, they're getting to know her, and they're starting to like her. She is a nice person!"
Clearly, Clinton must have cast a spell on them.

Wow. The misogyny parade just never ends. The extreme double standards even go beyond policy debate and into some deeper Freudian territory. I wondered about my own off-the-charts disdain for Bush after 2000. I sensed this guy was a nasty and cruel bully. That turned out to be correct. What is it they "sense" about Hillary? What does it say about them? And why does Andrew Sullivan twist his brain so hard to explain why Cllinton is evil?

No need for casting spells when you're about to deliver an enormous mandatory subsidy to health insurance special interests.
A much more true to life "let them eat your unemployment check" will serve just fine.

In this delightful Corner post, K-Lo says that the best reason to defeat HRC is because she inspires degrading, childish sexism. At, you'd think that's the point, right?

I do think that's the point. I'm convinced misogyny is why they paid her to run. Can't wait till she has to out-nut Guiliani.
