POSTED RESPONSE TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
My, those are inspiring examples.
Condi Rice? Compulsive Fifth Avenue shoe-buyer and mass-murderer?
Hillary Clinton? A woman who swallowed Bill's crap for decades and lied for him in public, over and over?
And who now defends the indefensible, over and over, forgetting every decent spark she may have had forty years ago?
Oh, the list of outstanding American women in politics is breathtaking.
Sarah Palin, flop as governor of a tiny state and someone who took six years at five institutions to get a BA in a bird subject?
Elizabeth Dole whose biggest achievement in running for the Republican nomination seems to have been the way she stepped down from the platform at meetings, walking amongst the audience much like a salvation-tent preacher?
Oh, let's not forget Madeleine Albright, that horrible windbag who defended America's killing of tens of thousands of Iraqi children, over and over.
I do think, in view of the record, Madame Tussaud's has a role here. Surely, this is a wax-works gallery of female political horrors America offers the world.
I'd love to see women take their rightful place in politics, as I'm sure they will, but America's recent example is an inspiration to no one but those with a taste for the grotesque.
