According to Moe over at Jezebel women only voted for Hillary in New Hampshire because "she cried". Am I the only one who actually watched that video I posted yesterday of Clinton not crying? Yes, she got choked up. Yes, she showed emotion. NO, she did not cry. I think crying is actually defined by the dropping of tears, and unless I blacked out half way through the video, I didn't see a single tear. In her column entitled "So Basically, Women Voters Just Chose The 'Crying Will Get You What You Want' Candidate. Awesome." Moe, who I going to take a wild guess and say that she wants Obama to win, thinks that the women who decided to vote for Clinton in New Hampshire don't actually know what they're doing, and just voted for her because she cried, and for a few other reasons. Moe said Clinton's victory in NH was "attributed to you chicks" who:
"...allow themselves the luxury of acknowledging their inner bigot and voting for the non-Negro. No, this was different. New Hampshire women, after telling pollster after pollster they were ready for change, went inside the booths and had a little cry. Maybe they felt bad for Hillary for sticking it out in that humiliating, mirth-free marriage of hers only to vote against her now. Maybe it reminded them of the time they stuck it out in an emotionally abusive situation and only got through it because somehow, somewhere, they still held out hope that karma would make it all right in the end. Well, that is not an audacious hope. That is a STUPID hope."
Wow.
People have done nothing but go on and on and on about how Hillary Clinton is an alien. A robot. A frigid, cold, Ice Queen who doesn't have a feminine or maternal bone in her body. And then, Hillary goes and shows an ounce of emotion for once in her life, and what does she get? Chris Matthews announcing that she had a "breakdown". John Edwards taking this as a perfect opportunity to pull the whole "women react with their emotions" bullshit by saying,
"I think what we need in a commander-in-chief is strength and resolve, and presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the United States is also tough business.”
Hillary will never be able to win anything fair and square, and Moe's column is the prime example of that. She won because she cried. She won because all those stupid women felt bad for her and let their silly emotions decide how they would vote. If McCain wins, he won it because he was the best. If Obama wins? He won it because he deserved it. (Never mind Oprah...) Hillary? Nope. The Bitch cried.
Cate Sevilla is the Editor of Dollymix. She probably on got her job by crying. Or sleeping with someone.
