Wow, I knew he was an older guy, but who knew Don Wright was a Hillary hater too? Poor woman -- damned if you do (show emotion), damned if you don't.*

For the record, that sure wasn't crying to me. Expressing emotion, sure ... of course, can't have any of that from a legitimate female candidate.

Who knows? Maybe he's just hard up for copy now that her competitor is officially declared off limits as cartoon fodder. You know, to make up for the past, all that guilt needing to be absolved and all.

Just kiddin', Don -- I eagerly await your unflattering caricature of the first black man (say, is it a no-no not to cap that "B"?) who has a credible shot at becoming President of the United States, some say.

You know, that media commitment not only to fair and equal treatment, but to recognizing actual facts. (Like say, the difference between true crying, and expressing natural emotion in the eyes and face. Seems a pretty simple call to me, and most of us who have seen the footage -- if that was "crying", I'm a monkey's uncle.)

Or was all that idealism lost long ago, as Bill McGowan alleges?

Still, looking forward to seeing what you can do with that caricature, Don! Good luck and get to it, buddy! And please, don't take my criticism personally. Look at how good Stoda's been writing, for one, and something tells me Dave George is getting out of the predictions game, settling for crowing after the wins, at least. :)

*Or maybe you're just a damned woman if you try to push past the comfortable boundaries society has in place for the role of American women. Tough, resiliant women who care about serious issues -- we don't know what to make of them eh, when they're not content to use their educations in the more appropriate First Lady, features type roles. *sigh*
