Korea mission. That's such a narrow understanding. A petty one. One similar to what dumb 7th-grade girls make when bickering over boyfriend jealousy. (Incidentally, I'm mom of a <em>smart</em> 7th-grade girl.) A more informed and mature understanding of Hillary's response would be to acknowledge the painful truth that it's because patriarchal cultures (USA included) value women based on how they are related to men that she rightfully took humbrage. It didn't have to do with her high-profile marriage, as dumb Dowd, has some neurotic need for it to be. Go Hillary!

In spite of what we all know to be the most fraudulent presidential campaign ever, it is disgusting to continually hear republican pundits and the likes of FoxNews anchors STILL preface their negative comments with either, "0bama ran the most brilliant campaign in history" or "0bama is a brilliant speaker". How can they be that clueless about this very ordinary man?

Astonishingly, her answer was, "No" to both questions. I would imagine that Hillary and Sarah would beg to differ. Barbara Boxer deserves to be defeated by Carly Fiorina.

To this day I can hear Olbermann, Matthews, Cafferty, and other Obama campaign media surrogates belittle Hillary's experience and equivocate... This was no accidental malevolence. Anyway that's why I was angry when I read on the news feed on the right that Hillary leaned on Obama's heritage and celebrity in Africa, as if, when in fact the Clintons have spent so much time in Africa, even before Obama was Illinois' senator. I've had it up to here with the media, but I do like to point to an article on Hillary when it is fair, even if it is a little critical, rather than all the junk that deliberately poisons the air.

She was a disgrace during the primary with her deafening silence. I know many who can't wait to vote her out. It preserves Boxer’s seat at the table, she thinks, to act this way.

I wrote to SunPC about this from a previous time but now I see a repeat of the situation above and maybe if you wouldn't mind checking into I would appreciate it. The comment at <em>Comment by CG | 2009-08-20 07:50:59</em> is not mine, someone has copied my previous comment, added <em>"P.S. - Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!"</em> and included a URI with my user name. Can you check what email address has been used with this message. It is annoying that this person has assumed my identity (twice now), copies my message and then adds <em>"P.S. - Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!"</em>. Why doesn't the person just use his/her own user name with URI link to spam and add an original message of his/her own rather than pose as me. Thanks, sorry if it is too much a bother. Hope all is well, I'll tune in this weekend with a compassionate heart. RRRAmy, can you do me a big favor?
