CongressMAN Marsha Blackburn, on Sarah Palin and "lipstick on a pig":
When you take the remark in context of the campaign, and everything is taken in context and relationship to something else -- you go back and he called a reporter sweetie during the primary, had to call the reporter and apologize for that. He passed over two good women for the VP spot, one, Senator Clinton, the other, Governor Sebelius. Then you get to this today. I think it's a pattern of conduct that the American women are responding to. And we're seeing the negative responses that they have brought forward today.
CongressMAN Marsha Blackburn, on that other "good woman", Hillary Clinton:
Blackburn said she was surprised by Clinton’s negative response to heavy criticism from opponents and noted that “part of the discretion of serving in leadership is…knowing when to bite your tongue.”
******************
Blackburn agreed women are often treated differently than men but that she has approached campaigns by saying “I am the most qualified person for the job” rather than promoting a breakthroughs based on gender.
Moral of the story--when Sarah Palin is criticized, it's always going to be sexist and she has every right to be upset. When it's Hillary being criticized, the whiny crybaby needs to bite her tongue and get over it.
It's nice to see that Marsha Marsha Marsha has become a feminist crusader all of a sudden. Too bad she couldn't do that when a woman was running for President rather than being hand-picked to be Vice-President.
Oh and by the way, I love it when conservatives cite this whole business as "proof" that Obama would have been in a stronger position had he picked Hillary. As if these conservatives wouldn't now be dredging up every single Clinton scandal that happened since 1992. As if the whispers of Vincent Foster and Monica Lewinsky wouldn't turn into loud screams on cable news shows. As if Sarah Palin wouldn't be comparing herself as the "all-American hockey mom" to Hillary's "cold, evil career woman."
