The ladies of the X Factor spent the election twittering about such irrelevancies as Hillary's marriage, her hair, and how this woman ever had the air to think she could do her husband's job.

Hence they should be known as the Twitter Generation. Twitters vs. Boomers; I like it.

XX-Factor criticisms of Hillary were based either on inconsequential twitterings or on full blown acceptance of fifteen years worth of GOP propaganda-based lies and distortions against Hillary.

These XX-Factor bloggers and their age peers were pathetic and they actually managed to prove the truth of every criticism leveled against them by older feminists. That's just plain sad.

No, they treated Hillary fairly enough to call her on things - just as they would a man. Bosnia-gate, "hard-working white people", tacitly approving of Ferraro's racist dismissing of Obama...They were truly treating the female candidate equally.

It will be great when we have a female president, but she has to be the right female president. Would you vote for Condoleeza? Did you vote for Liddy Dole? Just because Hillary's a woman does not mean she's the right woman, just as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Alan Keyes were not the right black men.

I like it - apparently the same crowd that thinks 'Sex and the City' is the ultimate aspiration for females and that Shoes Solve Everything.

Well ultimately the 'right' person, man or woman, has to be whoever the people vote for. And Condi Rice and Liddy Dole certainly can't be any worse than such luminous males as the two George Bushes or old, old John McCain.

I don't care if the XX Factor opposed Hillary for president. What grips me is how they presented themselves as ultra leading edge feminists, merely on the basis of their youth, and then twittered like old biddies at a bridge game over that awful Hillary Clinton, a pushy woman trying to do a man's job.

Somerby had a nice column Friday about Hillary; he pointed out her main characteristic is that she just wouldn't give up. Where a lot of wimpy Democrats would just turn tail and accept the verdict of the pundits and the Washington Crowd, Hillary, like Bill, refused to roll over and die on command. It seems to me that this is exactly what the XX Factor ladies most disliked about her, her refusal to accept conventional wisdom.
