I’m voting for Hillary because she is the best person for the job, and, by the way, she’d still be the best person for the job if she were a man.

It’s time to watch a football game and watch some manly men loaded with testosterone collide into each other. That would make you feel better, wouldn’t it? But thanks for your attention to cows and pastures for the moment.

Aren’t you going to be watching? Or maybe sitting on the edge of your couch, you know, just in case your hubby or friends need another beer. I hope the dip is good. And the coffee for later, make sure it’s good to the last drop. LOL!
McCaskill and Albright are cows? Is that supposed to be an insult? Based on what, their appearance? So that’s a job requirement for you? Both are wicked smart, and although Albright may be retired, McCaskill is still working hard.
I’m not a woman (obviously, screen name) but I have no problem with what Albright said. First of all, tongue in cheek, so lighten up. Second, a woman of my mother’s generation, who achieved at the level Albright did, has earned that perspective.

Carlos, you’re doing great defending Bernie. Thought I stop by and get the pregame TPM Outrage Party going. Chips anyone?
Well, I would never say this, 'cos it’s not in my nature, but I will report what my wife said when apprised of Albright’s comment:
“What an asshole!”
My 14 year old daughter also said that it was wrong to vote for someone based solely on their gender. But you know - she not only can’t vote, but no doubt she only supports Bernie 'cos that’s “where the boys are”.
Don’t get mad at me! It’s the women in my life!

Ha! Darcy, I had to withdraw my reply to you when I saw the word “cow” in there. That reasonably could be construed as offensive, doncha think?
For a bit of context, Secretary Albright’s been saying this for at least a decade.
“There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women."
(Keynote speech by Albright at Celebrating Inspiration luncheon with the WNBA’s All-Decade Team, 2006)”
As for watching gargantuan, testosterone laden men colliding into each other, personally, this old guy would sooner watch a “How it’s Made” marathon on the Science Channel.

"who achieved at the level Albright did, "
Some achievements! First woman SoS. That went over big in the Middle East.
“And BTW Mr. President Clinton, Guess what I just found out, I’m Jewish. Goodness gracious, I had no idea.”

You just can’t help yourself can you. Way to show your misogyny. Cows!! I can only imagine if someone called your wife that,
““When a man gives his opinion, he’s a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she’s a bitch.”

What the…?
First Gloria Steinem straight-out saying that young women are only supporting Bernie because they’re boy crazy, and that’s where the boys are. now Madeleine Albright saying there’s a special place in hell for young women if they don’t vote for Hillary? Are they TRYING to lose more young women voters?
Seriously, can anyone explain this bizarre development? Just loose cannons? Or do they really think insulting young women is going to bring them over to Hillary’s side? Or is this just writing off young women and publicly dissing them as part of an appeal to older women voters?
Maybe there’s some master plan behind all this, but at least on the surface it looks like yet another misfire from the vaunted Clinton tactic machine, along with Chelsea’s shark jumping extravaganza and David Brock’s racially-charged Twittersmear. But at least with those, you could see what advantage they hoped to get. With this one…I just don’t see it.

Well, yes, but I’m just making a guest appearance.
That’s because you are a gentleman.

Albright already made a jackass remark, and you drag yourself down to below her level.

Don’t let him get away with that.
“That’s because you are a gentleman.”
I dunno. He’s never made that claim as far as I can remember.
