Love the Forest. Don't Care Much For That Particular Tree, However.

The cabbie bringing me home to Orgle Manor this afternoon was listening to All Things Considered on NPR. As we tooled up the G-W Parkway, there was a long puff-piece on how the eeeeeevil of sexism is behind the sinking of the campaign of She Who Must Not Be Named and how angry many womyn are about it all. Pat Shroeder was on, breathily gushing about the ultimate glass ceiling and all the rest of it and golly, how wonderful it would have been for her to be able to live long enough to see the first president wearing a pantsuit and pearls.

Feh.

I just want to make a point of clarification here. I wouldn't rayther cut my own tongue out than vote for SWMNBN because she's a woman. I'd rayther cut my own tongue out than vote for SWMNBN simply because she's....SWMNBN.

Oh, and by the way, seeing as SWMNBN is about to tank anyway, has she ever considered a new career in entertainment? I think there are some possibilities:

"...live long enough to see the first president wearing a pantsuit and pearls."

I'm sure that's not a deal-breaker for Obama or McCain.

If it makes one person, just one person, less likely to vote for He Who Must Not Be Fully Named, it'll all be worth it.
