Very nice editorial piece:

"The wound is opened anew when one of the most well-known exemplars of mainstream television suddenly dies and is revered as a "colossus" of journalism. This is the same man, the late Tim Russert, who chuckled benevolently when one of his guests, Christopher Hitchens on "Meet the Press," repeatedly called Hillary Clinton a "bitch." This is the same news icon who was satirized on "Saturday Night Live" as pitching softballs to Barack Obama and double whammy corkscrew change-ups to Hillary when he moderated a nationally televised debate. Women won't forgive him, even as he's laid to rest.

These traditional feminist women are also greatly offended by the Obama supporters who dismissed them as "sore losers" when they complained about the abuse aimed at Hillary. These women see Obama's people as treating Hillary like poison, someone unworthy of being on the same ticket with their man, despite receiving 18 million votes and possessing high-level skills and experience. And that view really, really irks these women, who are a powerful voting bloc in their own right."
