Senator Ted Kennedy Betrays Women by Not Standing for Hillary Clinton for President
Ultimate Betrayal Felt by Women Everywhere

ALBANY, NY (01/28/2008)-- Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few. Women have ..... [etc. etc. etc. gaap.]

And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! He’s picked the new guy over us. He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one). “They” are Howard Dean and ... [etc. etc. etc. Gaap.]

This latest move by Kennedy, is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, women’s voices, women’s equality, women’s authority and our ability – indeed, our obligation - to promote and earn and deserve and elect, unabashedly, a President that is the first woman after centuries of men who “know what’s best for us.”

Wat nog veel erger is: de ultieme belediging die vrouwen wordt aangedaan door al die vrouwen die niet op Clinton stemmen. Nog erger, de vrouwelijke gouverneurs die steunbetuigingen aan een andere kandidaat afgeven.

Stel je voor dat een zwarte organisatie een blanke politicus van racisme zou beschuldigen omdat deze zich niet uitspreekt voor Obama.

Als de wereld vergaat ga ik naar Amerika. Daar is het nog steeds 1974.
