I put my bet on pharmas, HMO and rightwing think-tank any day over woman causes when it come to Clinton’s calculation table.

Breaking the POTUS glass ceiling WILL benefit all women. End of story. It would be nice if she does other pro-women stuff - and we can be reasonably sure she won’t put an anti-choicer on the Supreme Court - but just becoming the POTUS will help.

And having the best POSTUS of the last 50 years as her main advisor is an added bonus.

But here’s a news flash for you - politics are a nasty business and leading in a democracy is full of compromise. No female candidate is going to be any different and still be a viable candidate. We live in a tough world - get used to it.

My 31-year -old daughter instantly “realized that it was completely tongue-in-cheek and making fun of the idea that some people actually think this is what it would mean to have a woman president.” My three other grown daughters agree with her.

Well my daughter thought it was misognyist shit.

I’d say more, but other people covered the points pretty well already.

I’ll give you something to cry about!

ARE AMERICANS READY FOR A WOMAN DRIVER?

Leaving an impression of strength, with a touch of femininity…

HILLARY FIGHTS JUST LIKE A MAN

Is Hillary Likable?

Hillary and Obama throw everything, even the kitchen sink, at each other.

And on the subject of that last cartoon, SERIOUSLY, Clinton and Obama and all of their supporters, STOP USING RACIST, SEXIST BULLSHIT AGAINST EACH OTHER ALREADY!

Given Oliphant’s record on anti-Hillary cartoons, uh, nice try, but no dice. And that only covers the last three months.

So what? If he’s 72 years old, and the most influential cartoonist in the biz, then he will either just quit and rest on his laurels, or just find a gig somewhere else? Am I supposed to feel sorry for him? “Oh, that poor old man, he can’t help saying sexist bullshit.”

Also, it’s not the cartoonist’s job to be offensive. It’s his job to be funny and incisive. The fact that he is neither is just more evidence that he should stop.

The more I thought about it, the more I suspected the cartoon has been completely misunderstood. According to Wikipedia, Oliphant’s trademark is a small penguin character named Punk, who is often seen making a sarcastic comment about the cartoon. The PMS remark is an important clue. Hillary is depicted as an old women and people still rant about PMS.

In 2005, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee expressed concern that some of Oliphant’s caricatures were racist and misleading. That is important to know. Oliphant is criticizing sexist media attacks on Hillary by equating them to the rapid misogyny in some of the Arab world. After all, the world leaders repeating the US media attacks.

The demand of some liberal bloggers for Oliphant’s firing is far more offensive than the cartoon. Pat Oliphant is 72 years old. The New York Times has described him as the”most influential cartoonist now working.” In addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize, Oliphant won the National Cartoonist Society Editorial Cartoon Award seven times in 1971, 1973, 1974, 1984, 1989, 1990, and 1991, the Reuben Award twice in 1968 and 1972 and the Thomas Nast Prize.

The responsibility of political cartoonists is to offend us enough to shake up our knee-jerk assumptions and reactions. When a cartoonist with such a superb reputation produces something at first glance so offensive, we owe him the respect of thinking about it. My 31-year -old daughter instantly “realized that it was completely tongue-in-cheek and making fun of the idea that some people actually think this is what it would mean to have a woman president.” My three other grown daughters agree with her.
