An open letter to Hillary Clinton:
Senator Clinton, I have admired you since 1992 when I saw you stand up to bullies who believed that a woman’s place is in the kitchen, baking cookies. When you ran for the US Senate in my home state of New York I knew your time had come, someone who will proudly represent the Empire State and show us that a wife can in every way be her husband’s equal, even his superior. And so I proudly cast my ballot for you then, and I have been so proud of your Senate career ever since.
And, as we pray for Senator Kennedy’s health, it should gives us pause to remember that the Senate is the heart of our federal democracy. And I look forward to all the work that you will continue to do for all Americans and all the world from the most important representative body in our nation. May we all one day look back and speak of our true “Lioness of the Senate.” (And remember that it’s the lioness that does the hard work in a pride!)
You have been an inspiration to us all. I am proud of what you have accomplished.
Hm, not sure about this. Hillary’s behavior and strategy in the primaries was pretty atrocious. Here’s a counter perspective from Camille Paglia: “How Hillary Clinton, whose entire career has been tied to her husband’s, has become a feminist idol is beyond me. Everything is mere words and good intentions with her; concrete achievement is oddly irrelevant. There was something chillingly cult-like in the fanatical personal projection onto her of so many women publicly mourning her loss to Obama. It should mortify feminists that Hillary, for her own political purposes, so ruthlessly aroused irrational emotions that make women seem infantile or lunatic, unworthy of the vote.”
Finally, some recognition of Hillary as the non-feminist that she is. Her success is mostly related to being married to Bill. No wonder she stays that way.
