I sat flipping between CNN and MSNBC last night and was on MSNBC when they showed Nancy Pelosi speak. It was depressing to listen to Chris Matthews state as assumption that it was going to be terribly difficult for her to "control her screaming" and that hearing a woman in that position of power would be "like nails on a chalkboard for MOST people". I then sat hoping that Keth Olbermann would call him out on his language.....
Instead Chris Matthews launched into a mocking session of Hillary Clinton. How terribly she walked, looked, talked and what a liability her husband is for her, because he is so charismatic...
Keith said nothing and they panned over to some panel of idiots who basically agreed with his commentary. This is the state of our union. You would think that power hard earned would be respected, but alas it seems there is still a long way to go.
