Marilyn Monroe is a hero of mine. I won’t go into all the details here, but let’s just say that in a world that insisted that women be who they should be not who they wanted to be, Marilyn Monroe gave it her all to become who she wanted to be. The New York Times will NEVER write a piece that accurately portrays what Ms. Monroe sacrificed to be more than, but they do allow themselves a sentence here and there that speaks volumes:

“Monroe continued to yearn for a role like Juliet or Grushenka, but diretors saw her as Sugar or Lorelei.” And because directors had the power, the world ONLY saw Ms. Monroe as a bimbo.

But....it is sometimes just too damn hard to paint women who want to be MORE THAN as bimbo—Hillary Clinton—and her sensible shoes just won’t allow even the most daring sexist to venture down than path. (The fool fashion “journalist” Robin Givhan from the sexist WAPO did take a shot at talking about Hillary’s boobs, but it was just so outlandish that no matter the dream, painting Hillary down Bimbo Way was not gonna work. ) So Matthews just put horn on Hillary and followed the Hillary is bitch stampede. (The picture accompanying this story is from the Crooks and Liars imaginings. Crooks and Liars is an American liberal blog founded by John Amato.)

But, take a Governor from Alaska who is not over 60, or…a Congresswoman from Minnesota who is a lawyer and also not over 60, and sexist liberal media is free to typecast them as Sugar or Lorelei or whatever other bimbo character you come up with and….you have a sexist-win: the ability to turn any woman with reasonable level of agreed-upon attractiveness as a bimbo. This is the Left’s modus operandi and YET again we see it at work.
Bigot Chris Matthews at his daily sexism:.

Chris Matthews, who cast Hillary as the Devil and Palin as Bimbo is now furious with a woman who also wills to power: Michele Bachmann. He has called her a “balloon head” for suggesting that the Founding Fathers might not have wanted a country forever bound by slavery.

“How to you put someone forward who is a balloon head,” asks Matthews.

Matthews screams {on his show} that Bachmann is too stupid know history, but as Big Journalism points out, Bachmann’s words were fully correct, as she particularly mentions Founders who did work for the end of slavery.
From Big Journalism:
{Bachmann} also mentioning John Adams’ son, John Quincy Adams specifically by name, and that he continued to work until the blight of slavery became a thing of the past in America.

From Big Journalism:
But it’s Chris Matthews that needs to bone up on his American History, not Rep. Bachmann. As a Founder and the second President, it’s true that John Adams put the Republic above what was then an impossible issue to resolve. It is inaccurate to suggest he was a proponent of slavery with no role in its ultimately being eliminated in the U.S. No, he did not sacrifice the forming of a Republic for it, which is precisely what a strong position against it would have meant. But he did make his sentiments known (for more), taking pride in never having employed a slave. He is said to have found it “repugnant” and he argued against the Southern position that blacks not be included in population figures during the Continental Congress. In short, he did what he could without sacrificing the greater cause at the time.
Matthews could start here. Adams, the Founder’s son, did precisely what Bachmann claimed. Obviously she mentioned him for a reason. It’s Matthews who seems utterly uninformed as regards the pertinent bit of American History.
What did John Quincy Adams do to help end slavery?
John Quincy Adams was a strong opponent of slavery and used the various positions he held to promote abolition of slavery. As president he proposed programs that would lead to an end to slavery, but was unable to get it through Congress. Later in life, as a Congressman, he argued that if a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a policy followed by President Abraham Linclon (Emancipation Proclamation 1863) who eventually succeeded.
And then Matthews should read through some of the over 340,000 links pointing out how John Quincy Adams’, continuing the work of his father, Founder John Adams, worked in opposition to slavery throughout his lifetime, which is precisely what Bachmann claimed. The fight to end slavery did not begin and end with Abraham Lincoln, nor should a Founder and his legacy be dismissed by Matthews for crude and un-civil sound-bytes. Maybe he wants Olbermann’s slot on the MSLSD network? Clearly Bachmann has a more informed and nuanced understanding of American History than does he.

But hey, the Truth is far less important than making sure you plant the seed of bimbo to keep women in their place.

I don’t know much about Michele Bachmann, but here is a bit of her bio:
Congresswoman Bachmann is a graduate of Anoka High School and Winona State University. After earning her law degree, she went on to the College of William and Mary to get an LLM in tax law.

Yeah, doesn’t sound like she’s a bamboo, Sugar or Lorelei, but …hey Chris Matthews is setting the stage for you all to buy into this sexist smear.
Funny how nothing has REALLY changed since Ms. Monroe's time. We women are still told that we MUST be Sugar, or Lorelei, or ...if that doesn't work, then Nurse Ratchet and the 50-foot tall power-hungry Bitch that is Hillary, as per media liberal sexism. How about the idea that feminism allows women to be MORE THAN without being told they are bitches or bimbos or ...if you are really lucky...both. See above picture from a liberal web site that is exactly degressive for women's equality.
