On why some people hate Hillary Rodham Clinton:

"I am betting that the democratic nomination will be based on the question of whether the US is more racist or more sexist, but still. I didn't expect the reason for the hysteria against Clinton to be spelled out like it was political wisdom: 'She's not demure. She's a bitch. Therefore we hate her. Pass me some steaming American family values, please.'"

The Smart Bitches get it dead on. I'm still not inclined to vote for HRC, but not for the reasons listed in the post. I think she's too polarizing, and I think we all know I'm an Obama girl from way back when.

Still. It really does beg the question: are we a more racist society or a more sexist society? I'm inclined to say "sexist" but that's probably a little knee-jerky on my part.
