I have to lift these two quotes verbatim from the WSJ Political Diary. One is about the black mayor who supports Hillary:
“It’s not a disconnect, it’s about freedom of choice. Black people have a right to be for whoever they want to be. As an emancipated black man, I don’t take orders” — Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, under fire for endorsing Hillary Clinton rather than Barack Obama, as quoted in National Journal magazine.
The other is wonderful on its face. Get to the last line, where I had my Laugh of the Day:
“This is not how the story line was expected to go, dammit, and the impatience of the (mostly male) punditocracy is palpable…. Why doesn’t she just get out of the way? The media have sorted it all out so neatly: He is young, glamorous, charismatic and funny; he represents the future. She is older, strident, earnest and humorless; she is the past. He inspires; she hectors. Ugh!… What if women actually started to assert their needs and interests, particularly women who have aged out of babedom? What if they stopped slinking dutifully into invisibility and instead rose up to demand their fair share of our nation’s resources and rewards? No wonder so many guys seem to have the vapors these days” — Leslie Bennetts, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, writing in the Los Angeles Times.
