Playing the gender card

Posted on March 10, 2015 | 2 comments

Tired of the gender wars? Too bad. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

“Hillary Clinton’s big press conference this afternoon started off unpromisingly. “Just a minute,” Mrs. Clinton told the eager reporters. “Nick is calling on people.” Nick called on a guy who identified himself as being from ‘Turkish television.’ We are not making up his question: ‘If you were a man today, would all of this fuss . . . be made?’ She demurred—’Well, I will—I will leave that to others to answer.’ One strongly suspects the question was a setup, designed to have someone else play the ‘gender card’ on Mrs. Clinton’s behalf.”

The Hildabeast. The Queen of Benghazi. She is the real war on women.

“As we have argued before, Barack Obama’s re-election deserves to be listed with an asterisk in the record books. He is the political equivalent of an athlete found to have used illicit performance-enhancing drugs,” writes James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal, and continues:

“Whether he would have won in 2012 absent the IRS’s political corruption is unknowable. We know only that he did win with the help of a corrupt IRS. And if indeed the election was stolen, many in the media were complicit in its theft.”

Some of us have wondered how he could be reelected presiding over such an awful economy. A corrupt IRS suppressing his opposition’s get-out-the-vote drive is how.
