girl, too?
For any Politics regular not in the know about Dahlia Lithwick, among her many other jobs for Slate [for instance keeping us informed as to the meanings of Supreme Court decisions] she and an intimate group of sister women run this little XX-Factor blog that's linked to a fray board wherein during the Hillary/Obama nomination process she repeatedly savaged Hillary for Obama's sake.
Dahlia Lithwick is, at the very least, as dedicated to Obama as any typical foam-at-the-brain-pan Obama fanatic trolling on these varoius Fray boards. So now you know where she is coming from.
It's not that Dahlia Lithwick has contempt for women. It's just that she has automatic and blind hatred for any woman DARING to compete against Barack Obama.
I'm not going to address the chauvanistic asides she raised with her advice column to dear helpless, hapless, goofy Joe Biden in which she assumed that because Sarah Palin is female she can't POSSIBLY know anything outside the work of catching fish with her husband. Readers of XX-Factor got used to Dahlia Lithwick's bizzare brand of male chauvanism attacks where any female opponent of Barack Obama was concerned. She roundly and repeatedly savaged both Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferrarro for her fellow.
What is Dahlia Lithwick really trying to tell us, however, in her
advice to Joe Biden? Sarah Palin is going to use feminine techniques to beat Joe Biden because as a little lady she can't possibly KNOW anything. Yeah, Dahlia Lithwick, you are one hell of a feminist you are!
But she is also informing you Obama worshiping fraysters that Joe Biden is probably going to lose the debate BECAUSE Sarah Palin turned out NOT to be the sort of empty-headed bit of fluff that Dahlia Lithwick presumed she was prior to that acceptance speech.
Oh my!
