A few people have asked me why I haven’t commented on Hillary’s exit from the race. I missed her speech. I am just frantically busy because I leave for my trip on Monday and have many things to get done. I will catch up on all the news soon, I hope, but what I will say is this: I already see many pro-Obama bloggers who trashed Hillary and her supporters for months now saying how great they think Hillary is and how she opened doors for women and set a good example for young girls. You know what I have to say to this?  Spare me.  You may think that you’re being dignified, but you forfeited the right to be dignified long ago.

   Ha ha! I just wrote a big old blog post too on Hills (go read it). I especially liked how as soon as it was clear that all the ass-kisser superdelegates would back Obama after Tuesday’s last primaries he came out and said how much he really liked Hillary and how her campaign was great and made him a better candidate. Gag. They’re all idiots.

   I don’t think it was such a great example for young girls. Before this race, perhaps they dared dream of the highest office in the land.

   Now they know. If you reach for the top, they’ll be a hundred hands to pull you down and spit on you for even trying.

   Blechhh….

   Yeah, this is the Obama supporters deluding themselves. Many of them contributed to this hostile atmosphere for women, so I suppose it’s in their interest to spin it in a positive way now.

   I understand the resentment you must feel for Obama supporters. In all fair, the vitriol from both sides has been equally disgraceful. However, how has Obama himself been misogynistic or contributed to a hostile atmosphere for women? I don’t get it.

   McCain getting a chance to leave his mark on the supreme court makes me shudder much more than an Obama presidency.

   I think Obama capitalized on the misogyny directed at Hillary, which makes him complicit, in my view.

   We’re all complicit in something, having capitalized on the brutality of racism or the hatefulness of misogyny.

   That may be true, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. He’s supposed to be the candidate who wants to change things (for people naive enough to believe that).
