Sexism is alive and well in the media. I personally don't think it had much effect on Sen. Clinton's campaign but it does have a large effect on women who work in media and for some women in public life.

Janet Napolitano, the governor of Arizona, where I live now, is treated respectfully but other women in politics in other places aren't as fortunate.

There probably was sexism in this campaign.

The biggest problem I had was that every time I saw "ZOMG SEXIST PIGS!" (paraphrasing) as a title, I skipped the diary. There were so many that took trivial semantic details and blew them so far out of proportion it wasn't worth the time to argue them. My pet example was when Alegre said that asking people not to "create chaos" is sexist because it paints women as hysterical. That train of logic whizzed past so fast I couldn't even tell what direction it was headed. Right now, I'm not sure if I could go clothes shopping without being called sexist because I prefer men's to women's clothing.

OK, that's a bit of hyperbole. I think you can get the general implications though. When every trifling detail is called sexist, regardless of whether it was or not, sexist allegations become white noise and easy to ignore.

Hillary took her shoe off and shot herself in the foot, then took her shoe off and shot herself in the other foot before repeating the process over and over. I can't say whether or not she would have been the better President, but she definitely wasn't the better political candidate.

No, Al.

Whatever you do, don't grow up.

We need a sense of humor around here.

Disclaimer:  I'm just as willing to laugh at clever jokes at Obama's expense.

if it means anything, you've done hellva job yourself.  All the more difficult, considering you were going through finals.

hey, are you going to tomorrow nite's rally?

We will not get over ourselves.
