[lbo-talk] Hillary & sexism

[Doug Henwood]

Shane Mage, I read on Lou Proyect's list that you haven't seen any  
sexist commentary on Hillary Clinton. Literally two minutes after I  
read that funny claim, I saw this on Gawker.

STANLEY CROUCH
Hil-Sterical!

Author and noted critic-slugger Stanley Crouch, on Hillary Clinton:  
"On TV, Clinton seems by turns icy, contrived, hysterical,  
sentimental, bitter, manipulative and self-righteous." Play along at  
home: which of those adjectives also describe Stanley Crouch? Hint:  
we don't know or care if he's sentimental, and "icy" is only an  
insult to ladies. (We read a day-old Crouch column because Drudge  
decided it and a day-old Hitchens column were important enough to be  
highlighted this morning. Fun fact: both columns call Hillary  
"hysterical"!) [NYDN]
