Imagine Hillary's face and demeanor as she watched Sarah Palin come onto the world stage and take it by storm, Imagine, if you will, the tantrum she must be throwing as she sees this bright young woman take the place that she believed was hers, and hers alone.
Or, as Barbara Amiel - a columnist for Macleans', the Canadian weekly newsmagazine, and a former senior political columnist for the Sunday Times of London - writes:
"Imagine watching Sarah Palin, the gun-toting, lifelong member of the NRA, the PTA mom with teased hair and hips half the size of Hillary's, who went ... omigod ... to the University of Idaho and studied journalism. Mrs. Palin with her five kids and one of them still virtually suckling age, going wham through that cement ceiling put there exclusively for good-looking right-wing/populist conservative females by not-so-good-looking left-wing ones (Gloria Steinem excepting). There, pending some terrible goof or revelation, stood the woman most likely to get into the Oval Office as its official occupant rather than as an intern.
Imagine Hillary's fury."
You gotta love it...

Sarah Palin is riding the coat tails of The American
Womens Movement!Yet if she moves into the White House you can bet that she will do her best to put women back into the closet!
Educated women really understand what this means!
For the uneducated you should find out for yourselves! - 3 years ago

Hillary shouldn't be furious. Women ought to support each other in their success, or we will all fail to achieve equality.

which is probably the G.O.P. plan for palin anyway. they're probably trying to set back the clock for women in politics by picking such an extremeist. if they scandalize her then it'll be years till another woman has a good run at things. i wouldnt be surprised if they did that either, to throw pallin under the bus at the last miniute for someone like lie-berman or someone equally repugnant.

Women's lib has helped the women cause a lot, my mom
was a divorced women with three kids. She did the best she could raising us and caught the tale end of the lib movement. Without it things would have been damn near impossible. From what I learned from her situation
believe me things have come a long way baby. - 3 years ago

I never understand how an educated woman in political office can claim to owe nothing to women's lib. How exactly do they imagine they managed to get that education and position in the first place?
Also: calling feminist women ugly ("Gloria Steinem excepting")? Grow up.
