Fair Waring

So is anybody surprised that HRC had to be sworn in as SOS in front of the cameras? Certainly, the Clintons know how to milk a story. That line about Bill giving her "all kinds of experiences" was not only a cheap attention getting ploy, but it was an embarrassment to the nation. Course I realize that this is just another tactic for Bill to play the "aw shucks, I am a bad boy" card, but it's getting to be almost as old as Bill himself. Seriously, there's less snow on that roof every day. Soon, not even that aerosol can of hair paint will be of any help.

This nation has a cuckold as Sectary of State. Everybody knows it, but only the Clintons are allowed to joke about it. I don't find it charming. I find the Clintons using their attention getting ability to play a very dangerous game, with the properly elected leaders of the US government and the people of this nation, being the monkey in the middle.

I have some responsibility for this. For years, I thought that being polite was the correct thing to do. I was wrong. I have had to listen to a scripted rant from various spokesmen of the whole rest of the world, who think we're crazy for impeaching Bill Clinton. (I don't think the whole rest of the world thinks about us all that much, and if they do, they probably realize that American women are also Americans, and as such, entitled to a level of protection under the law.) I will no longer listen to those rants. I will no longer let anybody use the crutch of it's just politics. It is not just business, or just politics, frankly, it isn't even personal. What it is, is a diabolical form of misogyny.

I will attempt to correct that mistake. I will, as politely as I know how, please note the low bar, interrupt the rant, to introduce myself properly and give a brief explanation of my experience. I invite all of the other women who have been targeted by the Clintons and their surrogates to do the same. I understand there will be some embarrassment about this, but that can only be helped if said spokesmen refrain from the rant. Consider the sheer number of women who have been targeted, the likelihood of you running into one or more of us is hardly remote. The more I think about that, the more I think it's a good idea. Perhaps, all the women who have been targeted by them should get together. Alas, all of the stadiums are booked.

When you excuse the way Bill Clinton behaved, the way Hillary Clinton behaved, you're excusing sexism. You cannot elevate practising sexists, without also practising sexism. This slight of hand business is all over. There will be no more smearing, harassment, assaults (sexual or otherwise) just to feed the Clinton machine. Women have a right to live up their potential, whether or not Bill Clinton (or anybody else) happens to be attracted to them. Opportunity should not be to women, what Eddie Murphy's ice cream was to his neighborhood friends.

Who knew so many Democrats would believe sacrificing so many women, could be for the good of the party?
