I have a daughter and as a parent I understand how the Clintons would be upset at this...
C'mon, Grannyhelen. You are being manipulated. See how you're maternally bonding with Sen. Clinton already? Why, I'll bet you're ready to vote for her in November if she's the nom.
Aren't you? ;-)
P.S. Seriously, the remark was crude. Does Sen. Clinton deserve your sympathy? No. Because she IS as exploitative and amoral as any street pimp in any rough ghetto in the USA.

hou have some real issues here. Quit insulting Grannyhelen and any woman who is offended by this. If you aren't offended, fine. But I sense you have a fairly low opinion of women overall.

Quit insulting Grannyhelen...
If you were more effective as a busybody, you'd know that she and I have a friendly, cordial relationship. If I've offended her, she'll let me know and I'll be happy to apologize.
YOU would do well to remove the TR. You are abusing a feature that's not meant to deride comments simply because you dislike them.
Thanks for your concern.

your relationship is to Grannyhelen. I more than dislike you comments, I find them offensive and demeaning toward women. I'm not removing the HR. From Hunter's latest post on changes to the Troll Button:
It's meant to simply say that a particular comment is over the line as far as being extremely inappropriate, insulting, or disruptive.
I think you might not understand how insulting or inappropriate your choice of language is as you do it again when you refer to me as a busybody, but that does not excuse it.
I'm not thin skinned or easily offended as a woman. But I am damn tired of the comments that are loaded with sexist overtones. Find a way to make your point without going there.

and Granny Helen. Having raised two daughters in a very conservative climate, in a relatively small town, it sometimes difficult to make conscientious choices. Ultimately, the bottom line for my husband and myself would be, "What is the message that SuzyQ gets from all this?" Did it cost us some business? Yep. Did it cost us some invites to the cocktail party? Yep. Did it mean I won't be homecoming queen? Yep.
And none of these things were nationally televised--they were little blips on the horizon of smallville. But they were our daughters' horizons, and our children's realities.
I don't pretend to know Hillary's motives any more than I pretend to know David Shuster's. But I know this: Shuster's a wordsmith. He knows what he's saying. Therefore, as a parent, it would be incumbent upon Hillary or Bill (or me in such a case) to take a stand.
Anything else, would be pimping, indeed.

I'm not a Hillary supporter. But I save my vitriol for the miscreants who aren't in my party.

...is Obama ho'in out his daughters when he makes them appear on stage late at night when declaring "victory"? Would be o.k. if the media said this regarding them? NO!
