Hillary: the Fairer Sex
It started out as a comment about her nicely coifed hair. Hillary and about 16 undecided female voters were sitting around a table at Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. All nice and folksy like.
The stone face cracked.
Who would've known it would happen like this, with a question about grooming?
After years of being a hard-nosed, ballsy tough decision-maker with a seemingly abundant presence of leadership potential, suddenly it was time to cry like a girl. Yes, Hillary got all choked up and said, "This is very personal for me. It's not just political, it's not just public." The voice broke, the eyes welled up with tears.
Was the question a plant? Was the response orchestrated? Who knows?
But it seems to have worked. Hillary's success in New Hampshire boiled down to breasts, and those who had 'em got out there to support the newer, softer Hillary.
Even in the harshest of times, Hillary was strong. Following one of Bill's indiscretions, she showed her toughness by saying she wasn't some little woman standing by her man, but that she was there because she loved and respected him.
I wonder how much she respected the dollup of Bill's sperm on Monica's dress?
At Cafe Espresso, she went on to say, "I see what's happening and we have to reverse it. . . some of us are right and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not." It's too bad she wasn't more specific, for I would like to know whom she considered right or wrong, ready or ill-prepared, and was it a statement of fact or an outburst that could not be substantiated?
Perhaps she won New Hampshire because she showed her emotional side. What if the tears don't work again, then what? Well, I guess there's sobbing, or a lower lip quiver, what other things does the fairer sex do? Yes, Hillary finally let us see it because it was expedient to do so -- she is a member of the fairer sex!
I think she might want to abandon that strategy though. For if she allows her emotional side to take over, and eventually wins the race, how are Americans to gain by having a President who chokes up at a round table with world leaders and cries that no one understands her?
