Bill Clinton, speaking to ABC in Africa, defended Hillary against the predations of Elizabeth Edwards who suggested hubby John would be better for women than the woman who's running for president. The former president also responded to a convoluted section of Edwards' interview with Salon in which she said that female lawyers -- like HRC and herself -- sometimes had to act like men to do their jobs.
Hubby Bubba: "I defy you to find anybody who has run for office in recent history who's got a longer history of working for women, for families and children, than Hillary does... I don't think it's inconsistent with being a woman that you can also be knowledgeable on military and security affairs, and be strong when the occasion demands it. I don't consider that being manly -- I consider that being a leader."

I think we have evolved to the point where it is archaic to assume that a forceful person is acting " like a man " when so many men who act weakly are called " wimps ". If this is the only insult our society can hurl at HRC then we are in sad shape and she is gaining ground. Think of Margaret Thatcher, the Brits are more advanced than we.
