“Women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights.”

Remember those fabdamtabulous words out of Hillary's mind then mouth 15 years ago, speaking in Beijing? Well she recently reprised them at a speech at the UN. During her talk this past March,
Clinton recommended more top women hires for UN
and wants to consolidate women's issues into one "Super Agency" to bring equality to women worldwide!

Oh this is a week to celebrate! Women winning in political elections is grrrrreat! Now let's check in with what women have to say about this week's political gains for women! First from The New Agenda: "A CLEAN SWEEP: Women Politicians Take the Night! In all five major primaries races where women ran, women won! One network called it: "Ladies Night!"

The New Agenda congratulates South Carolina's Nikki Haley*, California's Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, Arkansas' Blanche Lincoln and Nevada's Sharron Angle for their primary victories (*may face a run-off on June 22nd).

"I'm still glad I supported Obama over Hillary Clinton,” says Katha Pollitt, the token female writer at The Nation as well as airhead extraordinaire and slave to patriarchy. Why exactly is she glad about her devotional attendance to her master Obama? Because—and kids, I kid you not on this one!—because…if Hillary had won, media types would have said mean things about Hillary. REALLY. Folks, it just don’t getin’ anynin’ more stupidn’ than this! AS IF, the media hadn’t already savaged Hillary in 2008.

Guest post!! by - Lois Adams
The constant theme running through the Sarah Palin articles that have been springing up like mushrooms after a rainstorm since she burst on the national scene a year and a half ago, is: why do they hate her so much?
Well, we know why men would hate her - no mystery there. An embarras de choix in fact: -

misogyny: she belongs to a group that it is OK to hate;

politics: she belongs to the wrong political party/ideology (conservative);

elitism: she is white trailer trash and didn't go to Harvyale;

Palin is mocked for quitting, Hillary was mocked for not, but men... they get a pass

As democratic men drop out like flies --most recently Patrick Kennedy and now Evan Bayh, I have not yet seen an itty bit of vitriol from the Patriarchy Press calling these men quitters or idiots for quitting. When men quit there is a reason, when women do, they are dolts. Ah, more to come on that later. For now, I am betting that Bayh is thinking to unseat the King of Zero from his throne in 2012.

Just look what they have cost us!

Pop Culture alert: The overarching theme of the Bourne movies is: Look how much they have cost us. That is what the faithful stooges (men both:-) say when they discover they've been had by slick talking hokem pokem snake-oil salesmen. As Obama swims in seas too deep for his shallow skills, one has to wonder how many millions of Obama fans feel had. And not even by Obama--who was too dim to realize he was not ready for the job and was being spoon fed unearned opportunity, something that he's ridden his whole life--but...

Charles Schumer: “Take a two-by-four to Hillary!”

According to Politico-- via “Game Change,” a long-awaited account of the 2008 campaign written by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann—Chuck Schumer is manifestly a back-stabbing sexist rat—a guy NOT to be trusted and a scheming sexist.

Hillary Clinton MIA, yet Again!

From the UK Telegraph:

Where is Hillary Clinton in the great missile defence surrender?
Excuse me, but when Washington announces a revolutionary change in the way it conducts its relations with the outside world it is normal for the American Secretary of State to be involved in some way.
