And maybe the daughters are embarrassed about how their mom's cross to the other side of the street whenever there's a young black man standing on the sidewalk.

You may resume martyrdom now.

That ECB would see nothing questionable about that analogy is, sadly, entirely unsurprising.

Have you SEEN Barbra Walters lately?!?....

That being said, Jeff Renner is not the same since shaving his moustache.

Sorry, I'm busy listening to an Obama reggaeton song right now. Viva Obama!

I don't know much about Tina Brown, but I think it's shitty to assume that every young woman who supports Obama has merely been "swept up by Barack magic" and thus couldn't have reached their decision by any kind of rational means. Talk about demeaning to young women.

I share some sadness that either the first viable woman candidate or first viable African American candidate will not be successful...but Hillary's hardly been relegated to the sidelines because she's too old.

Also, Hollywood claims that everyone in my demographic is stick-skinny, blonde, and perfectly toned after childbirth with only a few hours a day of exercise a day for a month or two! (I'm 22.) We probably shouldn't be setting Hollywood as the standard of what is reality.

They hold up as their standard the focused-grouped-to-death Mrs. Clinton, who seems incapable of saying anything sincere in front of a microphone, who holds all the excitement and interest of a corporate spokesperson, and who represents more than any other candidate, the status quo.

No wonder the young ladies aren't interested.

i understand why this is agonizing. it's pretty lame that when sexism has finally dipped low enough that we can have a female candidate that there happens to be another outstanding candidate. clinton won't be the last, of course. but it is long overdue that we had a female president.

The most powerful woman on the planet is a fiftysomething black woman living in Chicago.

And once she gets Obama elected, watch her pull the strings, a la Dick Cheney.

Of all the insanely rabid responses to an ECB and/or HRC post, this is the only one that actually saddens me. Part of me will be really, really glad when the nom gets decided and otherwise compassionate people stop being such INCREDIBLE ASSHOLES on the Slog.

Dang I would like to have her job. I could do this all day.

Waaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa...

There's an article on them in the print edition (front page of a section) in the WSJ today.

Boomer women are just playing the old Boomer "we're the most important people in the history of the world" card in a different hand. The sooner that generation retires and lets younger people into the job market, the sooner we can start cleaning up their mess. But in spite of having had the benefits of free college and an inherited pool of wealth from their entitlement-seeking parents (GI bill and so on), Boomers can't shut up about how hard they have it.

Fuck 'em.
