Yeah, she said women who support Sanders are just saying that to impress the boys.

Maybe it has something to do with saying that women who accuse men of rape should be believed, except when it is her husband, in which case they should be slut shamed into next year?

I'm just spit ballin' here.

Heaven forbid that any woman with any amount of fame actually suggest that we select a president based on qualifications. I mean, real qualifications.

Nobody, and I mean nobody is worth a damn just because of their gender.

If you want to see just how screwed up people are about selecting a political candidate, suggest that Traci Lords be seriously suggested for an administration position. They will lock up, totally unable to think about anything but her triple X career. Yet her life has been spent in fundamentally more honest ways than many of our candidates.

"There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other."

Is that "special place" anywhere near Billary's reserved spot?

I'm helping other women by not voting for someone who doesn't represent their interests.

Vote for a vagina! - unless that vagina belongs to Carly Fiorina or Sarah Palin.

Since I've never voted for a penis in my life (though, it turns out, I have voted for a few dicks), I'm going to vote for a vagina.

"There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other!" ~ Madeline Albright

Unless it involves helping women were raped by a so-called feminist's husband, then it's stand by your man time.

Albright made way too many speeches (including my grad school commencement address) in support of an accused sexual predator to be waving the sisterhood banner today.

That should be "Since I've never voted for a penis in my life (though, it turns out, I have voted for a few dicks), I'm not going to vote for a vagina."

In fairness, that's all they've got. Hillary is a poor candidate with a poor record. She's also reflexively dishonest and corrupt. Her only asset is that she's female. So that is the basis of her campaign - elect me I'm female!

What will be especially annoying if she's elected is that EVERY SINGLE disagreement w/ her administration will be cast as sexist. You see that already - ostensibly the only reason someone wouldn't vote for Hillary jabs cause they're a musing insist.

...how hard someone like Mrs. Clinton had to work to get where she is.

True. A lifetime of ingratiating, conniving, conspiring, lying, cheating, stealing, fraud, thuggery, abusiveness, and ruthless insiderism ought to be recognized and rewarded somehow. I have some suggestions.

I wonder if Steinem and Albright felt the same way about any black people who supported Clinton in 2008. I wonder if, back then, they felt that all these black people should be supporting Obama out of racial solidarity, that it was wrong for any of them to prefer Clinton's ideas.

If Caitlyn ran everyone would be happy.

...Ms. Albright said during an NBC interview on Saturday that women could be judgmental toward one another and that that they occasionally forgot how hard someone like Mrs. Clinton had to work to get where she is.

They didn't forget.

They know just how hard she "worked" to get where she is. They're out there busting their asses on the job without benefit of a well-connected husband (some without benefit of a husband or partner) and she's comparing herself to them as if she didn't have any advantages (Wellesley, Yale, husband who was AG of Arkansas and president) and got everything she got all by herself.

They're out there working hard without a multi-billion dollar foundation with which to skirt the legal and ethical complications of influence peddling. And which to use to claim to be a philanthropist (yet somehow all her "donations" to her namesake foundation find their way back to her pockets).

They've watched her fail (healthcare initiative), influence peddle (Whitewater), connive (TravelGate), and blunder (Benghazi) her way up the ladder while they actually have to succeed to climb one rung.

I can't wait for the log cabin Hillary was born in to be built, so we can all appreciate just "how hard someone like Mrs. Clinton had to work to get where she is."

If a tear-jerking life struggle story is a qualification to be president, then Ben Carson wins hands down. He grew up in actual poverty in a Detroit ghetto, unlike the affluent suburban Park Ridge of Mrs. Clinton's upbringing. His mother cleaned houses for a living, unlike Dorothy Rodham, who only ever had to clean her own spacious house (although, in fairness to Dorothy, her pre-Hugh Rodham life was pretty Dickensian).

Mind you, while a hardscrabble upbringing makes a compelling narrative, it does not by itself make a qualification to be president.

Neither Carson nor Hillary has ever successfully run an organization or dealt with an equal (or more powerful) collaborative body (state legislature, Board of Directors, etc.) in pursuit of objectives. And now both of them want us to simply trust them with the most powerful office any individual will ever hold in this world.

...Ms. Albright said during an NBC interview on Saturday that women could be judgmental toward one another.

Men can be "judgmental toward one another" too. If Hillary does become the Democratic nominee, I can assure Ms. Albright that many men will vote for her rather than show the required gender-solidarity by voting for her male opponent.

I like this comment from Pam in Alaska (on Maureen Dowd's column in the NYT)...

Speaking as an old woman, I don't care whether Hillary gives me goosebumps. She clearly is intelligent, capable, and ready to to the job. Unfortunately, she also appears to be a corporatist free trader and neocon hawk, which is why I support the grumpy socialist. I suspect the same may be true of lots of young women.

She clearly is intelligent, capable, and ready to to the job. ~ Pam in Alaska.

Pam in Alaska is an idiot.

If I were going to vote for a vagina there are a lot more appealing candidates than the one Hillary is wearing.

Albright's comments hit the Interwebs with a dull thud.

I have to say, I don't quite understand why the two of them didn't just point out the obvious - that a 74-year-old socialist just can't win the election in a country where the red states tend to lump socialists and communists together (and sometimes liberals as well, which is likely why liberal states insisted on using blue as their color instead, hint hint).

And, given the extremist views some GOP candidates have on abortion, that's another reason for liberal voters to think twice before supporting Bernie.

Here's a chart I posted last August (oddly, I couldn't get it by Googling on the right keywords; I had to go to the blog first and THEN search on the keywords):

"Do They Really Believe Abortion Is Murder?"

There are eight policies listed on the left (you have to scroll down a bit). On the top, it's divided into two columns, which ask:

1. Is this policy consistent with the belief that abortion is exactly the same as child murder?

2. Is this policy consistent with wanting women who have sex to suffer consequences?

And, as I mentioned last year, if most European countries are willing to make things pretty easy for women seeking first-trimester abortions while having heavy restrictions for those seeking later abortions, why isn't the U.S.? (For those who don't know, 90% of abortions are done in the first trimester anyway, second-trimester abortions are often done because that's how long it often takes a woman to get the money and resources to get around the roadblocks put in women's way, and the tiny percentage of third-trimester abortions are almost always done for health reasons, not because the woman wanted an abortion.)
