Campbell Brown of CNN wants to make a BIG POINT about gender bias. Brown tears Hillary Clinton up because Hill forgave Jon Favreau, an Obama speech writer, for grabbing Hillary's right boob during the campaign. Not her actual boob, a virtual one on a cardboard cutout. Brown thinks Hill seriously compromised her "feminism" by forgiving Favreau after he apologized publicly for his "offense." Brown apparently fails to realize what kinds of compromises it takes to live under the same roof, more or less, with Bill.
Hillary long ago knew about his penchant for Arkansas trailer trash. Hillary is way too interested in advancing her own career to kick Bill and his political cronies to the curb. Hillary's feminism was a campaign tactic. Other than gender identity, what was she offering? Bombing Iran?
If we're talking about symbols, how money is spent styling Campbell to give her that sexy newsmodel look? Hammering critics of Hillary's cackle and cleavage is weird, given the way Brown's being presented. Could an overweight older woman be trained to read the teleprompter just as well? Maybe Brown should be advocating for these women? Or, these.
Carl says, "DON'T BE DUMB, CAMPBELL. Favreau's act was symbolic, like tearing up the pictures of the boys who've dumped you and burning them, or drawing a mustache on a campaign sign. Lighten up. If you want to go after Hillary for not being feminist enough, go after her for not dumping a guy who's grabbed real boobs and tails all over the world--her husband. If it weren't for Bill, Obama would be succeeding Al Gore."
