Let me just say upfront that I'm suspicious of Hillary Clinton and don't consider myself one of her fans. Most politicians are public sentiment chameleons ![]()
but my gripe with Hillary is that she can't even project an image of being sincere. Got that feeling after I read her autobiography Personal History. Anyway, I really like Ed Stole's cartoon below because it so accurately captures the public's double standards to men and women in power when they show their emotions. The minute a powerful woman display an iota of emotion as Hillary's alleged choke up while campaigning in New Hampshire this week, she's labelled as emotional. See a man choke up and he's labelled as sensitive and in touch with his feelings. Maybe that's why Hillary supported George W in going to war in Iraq - had she voted against that motion, she would have probably been criticised as being weak.
