		<description>OMG best line ever 

"Hey, attention smarmy male newscasters of America:  Hillary Clinton was not auditioning to be your girlfriend, mommy, or Hooter’s waitress."

You took the words right out of my mouth. It's unbelievable the stupidity of the media especially TV  media, who can't seem to frame any discussion of female politicians in other terms than whether they're nice or strident, bossy or emotional,or whether they have wrinkles or funny hair. SO ANNOYING. I wish they'd quit it.</description>

		<description>Hi Bob.  I get it, you don't care for the Clintons.  And gosh, after 10 years in the military (half of it under Bill's presidency) and then another 9 in a male-dominated work environment in Arizona, it's so rare that I ever hear a critical word about either Clinton.   I had no idea that there were mountains of rumors and allegations about them!  Thanks so much for my edification.  

I'm being sarcastic, Bob.  And Espresso Pundit is thataway --------&gt;</description>

		<description>You're making a comparison so wide and vast, it only serves to propel your ignorance to unimaginable heights.

There's a great deal of people who don't like the Clinton's because of their consistently dark dealings and lies, not because there's only 17 million people in America who aren't sexist. Whitewater, Lewinsky, The Dubai-Port Deal, inhaling (or lack-there-of?),  Travelgate, Bosnian "Sniper Fire",  just the rip of the proverbial ice-berg. If you've never lived, worked or wrote for a paper in the District of Columbia, you can't even begin to imagine what it's like to sit in a stifling, humid little room that's older than your grandparents, taking notes from some asshole who is lying to you and everyone else in the room. Everyone knows the speak is lying, but you're fairly helpless to do much about it because one of the unheard of realities of modern politics is that for all the negative press you give a heavyweight politician, the more likely you are to be found dead a few days later, in a dumpster in a South East ghetto, with crack in your pocket and no ID. 

Do some god damn Googling, some of it's bullshit, and some of it isn't. But to believe a Clinton is to believe a Bush, they all come from the same cloud of deception and you're fooling yourself to ignore the vast mountain of poorly hidden evidence.</description>
