Speaking Of Spotted Dick . . .

Mrs. John Edwards thinks Hillary needs to "behave like a man." Well, at least the Hill-dabeast has the wontons for it.

Look, I'm sympathetic, because when I worked as a lawyer, I was the only woman in these rooms, too, and you want to reassure them you're as good as a man. And sometimes you feel you have to behave as a man and not talk about women's issues. I'm sympathetic -- she wants to be commander in chief. But she's just not as vocal a women's advocate as I want to see. John is.

And then she says, or maybe her supporters say, "Support me because I'm a woman," and I want to say to her, "Well, then support me because I'm a woman." The question is not so much how she campaigns -- that's theater. The question is, what does her campaign tell you about how she'll govern? And I'm not convinced she'd be as good an advocate for women. She needs a rationale greater for her campaign than I've heard. When she announced her candidacy she said, "I'm in it to win it." What is that?

It appears that a catfight is in order. Unfortunately, no guy is looking forward to seeing it.

The fact that people think Hillary Clinton is a cold-hearted bitch with bigger stones than her husband is old news. However, the fact that fellow Democrats are starting to believe it is news. With the election getting closer every day, voters of all parties are saying to themselves, "Jesus, this broad could actually become President!"

And it scares the hell out of them.

Rightfully so, since HillaryCare would see long lines at the doctor's office resembling those of Jimmy Carter's Gas Plan. Rightfully so, because her foreign policy is right out of her husband's playbook: appease, appease, appease, and leave the mess for the next guy. Rightfully so, because no one wants to hear the POTUS shriek during the State of the Union Address.

Simply put, Hillary Clinton is the scariest woman you would ever want to meet . . . and even the Democrats don't want her in office next term.
