Bitch is the New Black
Tina Fey is so awsome.
In Tina’s recent re-appearance on Saturday Night Live, Tina returned to her old desk as Weekend Update anchor to deliver some much-needed women’s news. During her segment, Tina made an impassioned plea for Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, saying that yes, Hillary Clinton is a bitch, but bitches get things done. According to Fey, “Bitch is the new black.”

What Women Say About Hillary
I read this excellent article by Robin Morgan, “Goodbye to All That (#2),” about the sorry state of gender politics in this country in regards to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential bid.
The gist of the argument is that there’s latent woman-hating crawling all over the presidential election. Hillary’s straight talk is “bitchy” and Obama’s straight talk is “inspiring.” Hillary gets mad, she’s being too forceful. Obama gets mad, he’s showing leadership.
Is there a hint of sexism in this year’s election? I feel like there’s a problem when people are uncomfortable about the feminist perspective, but I guess that’s a sign of these times.
I should also mention that the ladies of Scores in New York City, a strip club, endorse Hillary. I can’t tell if that’s progress or not.
