Sure, like Hillary, I’ve been called “shrill and strident” from time to time. Usually when, like Hillary, I’ve been shrill and strident. What, we don’t get to call Hillary on those moments because she’s a girl? I don’t know why not because I see a lot of style point criticism directed at the male candidates. Hillary is possibly at her most “shrill and strident” when she cackles in response to a question she doesn’t like to either avoid answering it or to suggest that the question itself is laughable. She doesn’t cackle in moments of genuine amusement. So, Hillary, maybe you should stop using fake laughter as an avoidance technique. It’s shrill and strident.

I don’t care who the “sisterhood” is supporting in the primaries. If Clinton’s the nominee, they’ll line up behind her. And it won’t have anything to do with any Hillary-bashing that’s occurred along the way. It’s ludicrous to suggest they’d do anything else. And, those of us outside the sisterhood, I hope, won’t be swayed by such trivialities as whether or not Hillary Clinton’s being picked on.
